Champions these items may be strong on: Ezreal Corki Udyr Aatrox Diana Kayle TwistedFate Reason: Hybrid itemization is extremely limited, with the only real examples being item 3124 and item 3146. Hybrid itemization is an interesting avenue that champions can take to make them harder to itemize against, as well as being more interesting, due to considerations that need to be made: For example if you build armor, you need to think about dodging or otherwise mitigating their AP abilities. In addition, encourages hybrid itemization by making it a very strong late-game item, with careful considerations being made for the price.

What do you think? Is Hybrid itemizations a flawed concept? Should champions like Ezreal and Corki be given more support to build both AD and AP in game? Does it make champions who have one strong AP ratio such as Gnar and MasterYi more interesting to play?

I think Devour + Rageblade has shown us all the dangers of hybrid.

Also, JAX!!!

Yeah, how could I forget Jax, pretty much the poster for hybrid.

Passive is broken. (Don't argue that because if you do some simple math with deathcap you will faint -> 700 AP = 140 bonus AD)

Lower price and lower passive to 6%. Also make it 60 ad 60 ap. (Rule of 6 still good late but not OP 700 AP = 42 AD)

Also a better build path would be 3xLong sword + Codex = 1850 Gold + 50 combine cost for smaller item Then Pickaxe + Blast wand = 1725 + small item = 1900 + 175 combine cost= 3800 total cost for the big item.

One thing...put in that the bonuses from the passive on the second item don't stack, because otherwise that would literally scale infinitely.
