50% AP + 50% AP + 50% AP = Highest ratios in the game. Mmmmmkay.

Unless you're talking about shields and heals, in which case... sort of. Sure, 90% AP shield as a passive and two 80% AP shields on E sound really good on paper, but refreshing your passive in-combat is nightmarishly difficult without a decent chunk of health outside of it, and Q isn't reliable as a heal for anyone other than yourself. Rakan, with a support economy, can't really afford to go full AP without entirely abandoning survivability, which tends to result in him getting squished in the middle of the enemy team even with his "Highest ratios in the game." What's going to make Rakan good in 8.5 isn't an increase in his AP ratios, it's the readdition of Shurelya's Reverie, which is a bonkers good early pickup on him. Health, AP, Mobility, and Utility, all at the low low price of 2100g.
