AP Ratios are perfect for increasing damage only for those who want it. Right now you rarely see AP Sejuani because her ratios are awful. Only Leona and Alistar scale worse. This way you can build an Abyssal and actually gain some benefit from the AP portion. And you can't argue she doesn't need something, the shielding on her Q is the primary portion for this.

Making hexcore sellable means you can pretty much ignore a major part of what makes Victor, Victor. The better solution would be a tier 3, since it allows you to continue to feel like you are evolving and staying relevant. That and his 3 cores need to be rebalanced.
