AD to AP Equivalency?

Mongobear·12/10/2015, 6:41:37 AM·1 votes·655 views

I am designing a champion intended to be 100% a true Hybrid, intended to build equal parts AD and AP.

An issue arose when trying to figure out the scalings of their abilities, since I want the ratios to be equal as far as +X damage from AD and +X damage from AP.

Is there a numerical ratio that equates a statistical value of 1 point of AD to 1 point of AD? I really want the character to not suffer from poor scaling due to my design intentions, but I cannot figure out exactly how I want to put down their scaling right now.

EDIT: I suppose I can share a small part of what I mean by true hybrid, and equal scaling without giving away too much of the champions concept, Ill just have to edit out the parts that lead to the concept.

"When XXXXX condition is met, [Champion's] abilities begin cycling through different damage types and stat scalings. The cycle follows this pattern: Physical/AD Scaling, Magical/AD Scaling, Physical/AP Scaling, Magical/AP Scaling. Once the final mode in finished, the cycle resets until XXXXX condition is met again."

think not just about ratio equivalency, but of how much of both stats they'll be able to build.

and for the sake of all who could potentially play against your champ, think about counterplay and keeping mechanics interesting and not overbearing for both sides.

too many hybrid champs end up being a ball of stats with a gapcloser, which is a recipe for a balance Nightmare

350 total AD is more or less equal to 800 AD. If you disregard runes, masteries and take average base AD into account, then true hybrids should have around: ~200 total AD and ~350 AP.

Why these number are like that? item 3153 item 3146 item 3124 item 3115 item 3027 is more or less key items for AA hybrid champion. This build gives: +95 AD and +320 AP. That's kinda basic build and average build. Not extremely good, but it does its job.

Now, if you are looking for non--AA user champion (who spams abilities a lot), then numbers and build can be a lot different: item 3003 item 3004 item 3100 item 3146 item 3027 With average 900 base mana this build offers: +119 AD and +398 AP

So, 100 bonus AD is more or less equal to 350 bonus AP when you build both of them.
