What is going to happen to hybrid itemization now?

Gunblade now gives 40 AD, 10% lifesteal, and 80 AP. In other words, it is no longer an even halfway decent hybrid item anymore, only an item that Akali will make use of.

With Guinsoo's a questionable item to build on anyone anymore, and people like Jax and Poppy(well, idk about Poppy) unable to build it effectively while building normally otherwise(in other words, normal build with GB instead of BorK), and Triforce the only effective hybrid item, I now have a question:

What is going to happen to hybrid itemization?

I think it is going away because riot hates hybid items. Even though they have champs with hybird scalings, they want them to build one way or another. Unless it is katarina. I dunno why they are keeping her hybrid.

This, please this. I play hybrid Jax in the jungle consistently and this is likely going to change that completely, since gunblade is one of the core items for me. I really don't think the hybrid champions were considered when this change was thought up.

I build it on Mordekaiser. I still plan to do so. So no, it doesn't really bother me.

Don't mention Poppy, she won't be with us for much longer -- mainly because of her ult and passive. They've already said they're going to rework her.

It's going to be deleted, duh.
