I have never seen Akali build hybrid. She often builds Gunblade because it synergises with her passive, but then goes straight AP. Why? Because her AP scalings are already too good for her to waste time not building AP. Even Gunblade gives her a chunk.

This is what every so-called "hybrid" champ would become if you buffed scalings and removed hybrid items. Jax just wouldn't be Jax if he was buying the same items as every AD assassin, although he does /have/ that option if he wants to at the moment. I think he's in a wonderful place at the moment, slightly favouring his AD half as he's fairly auto-attack dependent, but still not neglecting his AP due to his W and the passive and active on his ult. What I wouldn't want to see is for him to have to build like he's Tryndamere or something because he just has everything scaling off AD at levels too good to pass up. It's less choice, not more.
