User blog comment:Willbachbakal/(Item Concept) Hybrid Items Must Die!/@comment-26815373-20151007212027

Valid points and concerns, as always. It got me thinking do we have any truely hybrid champions in the game? Your definition of a 'truely' hybrid champion seems to be one who's damage scales equally well with both AD and AP, necessitating building both. Thus the 'problem' arises when they're neither a great AD carry or AP carry. I'm I correct?

I'll assume I am, but it leaves me to point out something about 'truely' hybrid champions. I don't mean champions who have AD damage with some AP ratios, or champions that are primarily AP based but utilize AAs for their damage output. I mean champions who's utility scales with both AD and AP. In that vein, I don't think League has any truely hybrid champions.

Riot has, on occasion, mentioned that the 'support scaling' they implemented on Lulu, Sona, and others many patches back, was something they weren't sure would work or be exciting. Morello mentioned how they dislike the idea of putting miniscule AP ratios on these champs just to increase the duration of an effect, or the strength of a slow, or what-have-you.

Personally, I think we need more scaling in this fashion. I would love to have Morg's Tormented Soil's AoE scale with her AP. It would be a nice QoL buff, imo. Other champions could use a bit of love too, but my thinking is that the items aren't the issue. Riot's take on 'hybrid' champions is.
