Her AD scalings may be higher, but it's a lot cheaper to buy large amounts of AP than it is to buy large amounts of AD. For 2800 gold a Spellbinder will already give you 100 AP. That's one item slot to upgrade W. Meanwhile, even the most expensive 3700 gold AD item only gives you 80 AD. it's like FeatherPaw said, 2 of her abilities AND her passive scale with AP. She can be used very well as an AD caster even. AD doesn't always mean you have to be auto attack focused, you just need to throw in an attack or two when you can. E can even be used just as an escape tool. Attack speed + AP still lets her get her stacks off faster, which deal %missinghealth damage that scales up with AP. I think people are really missing the potential she has with hybrid builds. There's no need to go full AD crit and miss out on maxing a W. W is a stacking tool for your R or executes, and if you used W to get INTO the fight, without upgrading it, then it might not be off CD to pick up a kill that you could've had.
