Item-Choices for AD and AP Mid/Toplaner
Hello Riot, helle fellow players,
with the ongoing lowering of the AP-values of items, lowering from survivability (hello Rylais *wave) i started questioning myself: will Riot ever adjust utility for AP-Item-User?
AP-Champs playing vs. AD-Champs is pretty annoying. ** Lets have a look at AP-Choices vs. AD:**
Seeker's Armguard (1200): 30 Armor, 20 AP, Passive: +15 Bonus Armor/AP after lasthitting 30 units. This builds into
Zhonya's (2900 G): 45 Armor, 70 AP, 10 % CDR and a pretty decent active to get invulnerability for 2.5 sec for the cost of being in stasis.
Choices for AD vs. AP:
basically the first item i see laning vs. AD: Hexdrinker (1300 G): 35 MR, 25 AD, self-activating shield to absorb 110 – 280 Magic-Damage. This later builds into
Maw of Malmortius: 45 MR, 50 AD, 10 % CDR, 2 Passives: selfa-ctivating Shield that Absorbs 300 + 100% Bonus MR Magic-Damge, +20 AD, +10 % Spellvamp, +10 % Lifesteal until out of combat.
Quicksilver Sash (1300): 30 MR, Active: Remove all CC-Effects from your Champ. This builds into
Mercurial Scimitar (3600 G): 35 MR, 65 AD, 10 % Lifesteal, Active: Removes all C from your Champ and grants +50 % MS for 1 sec.
Edge of Night (3100 G): 35 MR, 60 AD, 15 Lethality, 20 MS OOC, Active: 1.5 sec to channel a spellshield to block 1 ability within 10 sec
Wit's End (2500 G): 40 MR, 40 % AS, +40 Bonus on-hit magic-damage, Basic Attacks grant +5 MR and reduce targets MR by 5, 5 Stacks possible.
TL;DR: AP Champs got 45 Armor and a 2.5 stasis off of Zhonyas vs. possible 165 MR + self-activating Magic-Shield + 1.5 sec channeled Spellshield + CC-Freeing from Items with AD or other usefull stats as an AD-User.
So, Riot? Any plans to give AP-Champs some love vs. AD-Champs? Some more utility maybe? More choices for Itemization besides Hourglas?
