Building hybrid isn't really viable but has it really ever been? Sure ratios might have made it somewhat viable but the main problem is that there simply aren't enough hybrid items. You really can't even fill a full build with the amount of hybrid items there are now. There's Hextech Gunblade and Guionsoo's Rageblade for AD/AP and there's Malady and Nashor's Tooth for AS/AP. Assuming you benefit from AD, AP and AS you can build all of these but then you still have one space open in your build. There simply needs to be more hybrid items for hybrid builds to be viable for example an AD/AP caster really only has two items to build and then you have to start building full AP or full AD items. Trinity Force is also a possible item for a hybrid but you aren't really using the crit and AS nor the on hit if you're a caster. 4 (or 5 if you cound trifore) hybrid items really aren't enough to make a hybrid build viable. There needs to be enough for a full build before you can build anyone hybrid.
