The active really should scale with bonus AD as well, but it doesn't. Because lolol, AD/AP is a joke. Gunblade is just an AP item that has AD for the lulz because Akali and sometimes Katarina can buy it, mostly for the active, but they scale with AD a little for the lulz, lolol.

By making the active scale ONLY with AP, they're basically putting up a big neon sign saying that they're never even going to pretend that AD/AP hybrids are supposed to be a thing ever.

I really hate the way Riot treats alternate builds. AP MF is bizarrely almost viable but not. And I have no idea what the hell Sivir is doing with a piddly .5 AP scaling on her Q... I mean really, wtf? Did Phreak beg for it just to make Trinity Sivir do 15 more damage or something?

Gunblade should be more things for more champs, but Riot doesn't want dual scaling to ever work for anyone. We're lucky that even Akali can still use this item.
