Confusing builds on conceptually non-logical champions needs a look.

So, one thing I've been noticing quite a lot lately is this trend of players building contrary to what the champion's main purpose is and doing extremely well to the point of almost unkillability.

For example, just got out of a 3s game where I was Jax laning against a Lulu in top, seemed normal enough at first, until she started going full AD/Lifesteal, by that point she was already 3 kills ahead of the team due to range advantage and the ability to use her skills to heal herself and make herself bigger. From there she just kept rolling and literally got unkillable, she could easily take 3 on 1 despite being only 1 level ahead of the rest of us.

I feel that this exploitation has been extremely prevalent in Lux, Sona, and Mami as well. With their auto-attacks being ranged magic (presumably being as how it's not a physical projectile). I honestly don't think that champions like that should benefit from AD builds for their auto attacks, it makes normal utility casters become walking death machines as they spam their buff abilities on themselves.

I don't know if it's just me but I don't think that magic style auto attacks should benefit from an AD build, especially on a champion like Sona or Lulu.

If you agree upvote/comment, if not, explain why below.

I play Lulu top lane a lot, but I don't really go full Ad/ Life steal.
However if you lost to said Lulu in your lane it is your fault and if she gets fed it is also your or your teams fault ( if she goes roaming or if your Jungler does a 200 hp gank ).
And just like a fed Jax is OP and unkillable a fed Lulu will destroy your very soul.
You just have to know how to lane against her.
Try playing top lane lulu yourself and you will notice some massive flaws very quickly.
For example she is so very very mana hungry, she doesn't have that much sustain, so try doing the third strike pokes with Jax. And lastly she isn't an actual tank, so hard CC or in other words good ganks will destroy her.
A good time for your Jungler to engage is when she uses her Q or her W offensively, wait until the effect weirs off and kill some Lulus :D
