Why does Poppy's W scale off of AP
So I just noticed this recently that Poppy's Dash blocking ability does damage that scales off of AP. I'm wondering why: is there a balance purpose behind it, or something else going on?

So people can play full AP poppy in URF
A long time ago, random champs used to scale with multiple things so that they could be played different ways. Riot doesn't want us to have the option to play things any way but the way they want so they removed random scalings. She just has the one skill that scales (I think?) so it probably got overlooked.
Some champs have random scalings so that you can build stuff that they can build items with multiple stats in a way so that no stats gets completely wasted. Like Banshees veil.
So I know that it used to be some random stuff scales off of AP in the earlier days of League the poppies rework is relatively recent. And as for some items not being wasted because of the amount of AP they do give it's only her W that scales and that damage is unreliable to say the least.
I think it was due to baron buff giving free ap. Need tl hunt down the exact rioter quote again.
Thats because old Poppy used to have a literal one shot AP build lol
Cause you must stick strictly to one-build. No more diversity :)
