Without proper limitations to the pet, I admit you're right.

The kit definitely is underwhelming, the actual active part of gameplay are just Q and E, and they just are marks that grant bonuses when attacking.

The AP ratio is likely because is not intended to scale with AP, but now that all items that build from Sheen (Except Lich Bane) lack AP in the next season, and there's no other physical fighter item that grants AP in the process, I believe is useless and should be just flat bonus damage, like Skarner's E.
