, just sayin'

In any case, Aughar will be a very unique case to handle. He IS a mage, since a mage is basically defined as an APC. But because of his reliance on physical damage, he is quirky on the midlane (and, unlike Yasuo, also not a good assassin).

Itemisation will also be strange, since he requires a certain mix of physical and magical stats. Due to his CC-playstyle and innate, CDR and mana will be a must-buy, and AP is his main source of damage, but he relies on armor penetration instead of magic penetration, where problems will arise (on the other hand, the most useful ArmPen item on him would be Black Cleaver, since he's combo-reliant and it also gives some health and CDR).
