So i sat down this morning and spent over an hour doing math on him (bored + nothing better to do) with different builds and how they stack vs the standard AD carry build (IE, PD, LW, BT, etc). Tried full AP, Hybrid with an AP focus, hybrid with AD focus, even-ish hybrid, and attack speed/on-hit builds. Not a single one beat standard AD build in damage.

DPS from AA spam is higher, AAx3 + Q is higher, AAx3 + R is higher (though not by much). AAx3 + E stayed relatively stable. The hp% damage is nice but even with an enemy of 3k hp, the standard AD build outdoes every other build in both AA dps, and AA+ability combos (even AAx3 + R).

Seems like his AAx3 + R combo can get more damage on enemies above 3.5-ish hp with an AP build, but the damage gain is VERY low. You would also loose a LOT of damage on Q.

Seems like hybrid and AP builds will work on him, but standard AD carry build will still give you better performance.
