For some reason, Riot used to be really into huge AP ratios. I know for a fact that Alistar used to have 1:1 AP ratios and probably a lot of other champions, too. Must've been some weird design philosophy. On the other hand, there barely were any skills scaling with AD - I dare say none at all until the arrival of Udyr.
