I believe you again misunderstood what I said. In case it's genuine and you aren't subtly mocking me in some way:

If you remove hybrid items altogether, you are left with a hybrid champ trying to eke out a living with subpar AD+AP builds. But why is this? Because the existence of these hybrid items like Gunblade is forcing these champs to have very low ratios precisely because of how efficient they are. So, in other words, Xypherous is arguing that having this handful of hybrid items actually stifles hybrid itemization more than it helps it. Hybrids CAN'T be viable right now using AP and AD mixes when items offering both are so strong.
