The problem is that there isn't a stat that AP Assassins can use that is unique to them and doesn't interfere with other classes who would use their items.

Marksman have Critical chance, which scales with very poor AS-Crit items and are lackluster by themselves(IE and ER are very lackluster without a Runaan/PD/Shiv/RFC) and AD Assassins have Lethality(which scales with itself and makes very hard to Justify buying the items unless you have Lethality in your Loadout, which is Runes + Masteries).

I do want AP Assassin based items but putting Penetration on them without conditiong them will make traditional Mages stronger. The closest thing to an "AP Assassin Item" is actually Luden's Echo. It gives 100 AP, 10%MovSpd, Builds out of a big 1000+ item + a Utility based item and gives out extra burst and some waveclear.

Also making any item Melee Only means making that item really really good. Like Hydra-Twins good. Or in the case of Range Only, also Runaan Good.
