I can't tell if AD does anything for Aatrox's "spell." Does it have AD scaling or only AP? What about Draven? Does AP do anything for him? Shen? Nothing is really described and that's a problem. One thing I like about League is how much all the scaling is laid out in plan sight. In TFT I don't even know item paths. Just that I have a cloth armor and don't know what it can build into. :--\
I never thought I'd say this, but I literally don't know if Kassadin, of all people, benefits from mana or AP at all!
It definitely does need to be shown in game.
As for what it all does, see below:
Not even the wiki accurately tells you everything.
What it does is increase everything about the ability by x% with some exceptions.
So:
- AD ratios on spells by extension of spell damage being increased
- (Voli/Rengar/Draven/etc.)
- This is why you see Dravens with double Rageblade, it's not just for the attack speed
- True Damage
- (Vayne... can't remember if Morello or Red do true or spell damage but they're increased too, unsure about Demon true damage)
- Healing
- (Nidalee/Darius/etc.)
- Shielding
- (Kassadin/Locket/etc.)
- Bonus Health
- (Lulu... idk about Origin/Class bonuses though like Brawler and Shapeshifter)
- Bonus AD
- (Shyvanna/Gnar/Nidalee)
- Damage Reduction
- (Braum... I think that's it?)
- Item damage if they deal spell (magic) damage
- (Ionic Spark/Ludens/Statikk/etc.)
What it doesn't affect:
- Target numbers
- (Number of Karthus ult targets, etc.)
- Range
- Duration
- CC
- (Including Anivia's AS slow)
Exceptions to the above:
- Yasuo's shield does not scale with spell damage (as of last patch)
Things I have no clue if it affects:
- Attack Speed bonuses
- (essentially just Rengar's bonus AS)
- Crit Chance increases
- (essentially just Rengar's again)
- Kindred's minimum health on ult
- Evelynn's <50% health multiplier
- (it increases all damage due to the base being affected, but idk if it affects the multiplier as well)
