Champions may have ratios that are very different from what they should build (i.e: AP Ratio on Graves' Smokescreen) as a balance method because having AD scaling on all abilities for certain champions will be overpowered. In the case of Hecarim Spirit of Dread heals based on damage and if it scaled AD it would deal addditional and phenomanal damage meaning the heal return would be very high. In cases like Talon where he has all AD Scaling its not overpowered as he isn't getting some special buff or utility from that additional scaling rather than just damage.

TL:DR, Its a balance method for utility abilities
