Hybrid in general just isn't that amazing compared to focusing on a single stat. You go hybrid for what? With AD, you get to focus on critical strikes, armor pen, massive lifesteal, you're basically a wrecking ball. With AP/AS, you have the benefit of cheaper wave-clear, cooldown reduction and stronger splash damage and more burst. With hybrid... it's severely lacking. Sure you will buff both magic and physical damage. But that falls off quickly. Hybrid is a bit ironic, it deals two types of damage so it's "hard" to itemize against it but at the same time it has no way of getting past both defense types due to lack of hybrid penetration, lack of mass amounts of AP (for the ability power portion of hybrid) and lack of critical strike chance/amplification (for the attack damage portion of hybrid). You should just stick to AP/AS or AD.
