he was never intended to be either primarily ap or ad, Riot didn't have concrete plans for every single champ in beta and probably just assumed he'd build a little bit of everything and that it'd work out ok. He was once labeled as a carry believe it or not, Riot had different ideas about the game back then, but also tended to be extremely out of touch with how things actually played out. Morello's inclusion changed a lot of this.
