Gathering storm contributes to Riot's Blatant AD favoritism over AP

In an item by item comparison, you can make actually make an argument that things are relatively equal as they do different things, although in depth analysis shows otherwise. However, when it comes to just a simple math 2 + 2 etc, riot's true colors shine. Gathering storm is only equal if

10 minutes: 8 ap and 5 AD 40 minutes: 80 AP and 50 AD

with current version

10 minutes: 8 AP and 6 AD and 40 minutes: 80 AP and 60 AD

AP get 1740 gold value and AD get 2100 gold value at 40 minutes, long sword being 10 AD for 350 and Amp tome being 435 for 20 AP. Absolutely shocking that riot would do that (not). And to say numbers may not be final, it is simple math. How can you not get it right the first time.

But as AP, you can probably still burst anyone you are meant to burst down anyways. And I don't know if oyu can compare gold cost vs old cost, because you have to look at %scaling on skills. And everyone says AP gets more %scale.
