Spellblade is another disappointment for season 3 on-hit really. I've proceeded to build AP and AS in a bot game, trying to maximize Malady's effect, and well it was horrible:

I took tristana simply because of the high AP ratios and the safety of range. i also figured that the synergy with her E explosion's AP ratio could wreck havoc in teamfights. Truth be told, 5% (Spellblade) is really, really low. Total 15% with malady, +15 damage. I ended up maximizing AP to see how high i could make damage from 1 hit, and it hardly reached 45 bonus magical damage or so. In the end i was an AP tristana with mildly increased AA damage. if anything, the shred was way more useful, and didnt require any AP.

If talking about strictly on-hit damage, since base was reduced from 20 to 15, Malady's on-hit actually got nerfed.

I can only see Varus make good use of this, given how his E compliments new Malady perfectly to reach decent damage numbers (on paper).
