User blog comment:Deshiba/Item concept; Guinsoo's Rageblade remake./@comment-5514182-20130520035951/@comment-8506165-20130522105821

Akali's not a hybrid. She's meant to be, but she just gets Gunblade because it's the most spellvamp she can get from one item due to her passive, then goes AP carry. I have literally never seen an Akali buy anything that could be considered an AD item aside from Gunblade, not even Rageblade.
