oh i see what you are saying, since mage items dont add critchance (because neither needs the other) you would hvae an 18% chance to activate the passive essentially. so 18% chance of lichbane essentially. ok I can see that on some things. People would build hybrid in that case though, and would build a couple phantom dancers and/or trinity maybe, along with massive ap items, giving about... a hell of a lot of attack speed, movement speed, a guarenteed (base attack +ad + ap + crit) every half second on top of his abilities, which actually have a good sum of utility in them. Unfortuneatly, people wouldn't interpret the way you did, they'd see it as: oh look guys, I can build ap items in order to gain ad. (they'd build rabadons instead of bloodthirster for the +180 ad instead of the 100 ad essentially)   the basics of the idea seem nice, but you have to remember, people look for the best ways to take advantage of things, so if you wish to maintain balance, you need to consider all the worst case scenarios. (i noticed that possibility about halfway through, as you probably noticed by the instant tone shifts in my text) I'm a balance nut btw, so I attempt to see all options.
