"It's just like building crit on AD Ez. Sure, you might be working like a carry, but you have just deranged your Q to a mere CD refresher ability since it doesn't crits."

Good luck being an ADC with no crit. That... kind of does make you an AD caster, if you're trying to just depend on your Q rather than weaving it with autos as a matter of course. Sure, you maybe don't prioritise crit as much on "caster" ADCs but you still get it.

As for more hybrid love though... I'd agree, but I don't think Riot like hybrid kits at all - they want a binary split à la Ezreal, or else kits that can only work with one stat and not the other. For the same reason, I don't see hybrid pen items becoming a thing, although I sort of agree there - the strength of hybrid damages and scalings is in the difficulty to counter said damages - stacking health just doesn't work any more, and only three items on SR give both resists in tandem. It's only fair that once someone has built up a decent amount of resistances to both forms of damage hybrids don't just get to ignore them both with just one item.
