It wasn't "annoying", it was simply a huge advantage over the other pure AD or AP champ. Hybrid could sustain themself a lot while both their ability and AA dealt tons of damage. It was so good that Riven and Renekton player were starting to grab it as well just because how godly the stat were.

Plus Hybrid champion tend to have ability that let them become incredibly tanky (jax ult, Akali Shroud/passive, Kayle ult) while also having really strong damage because the AP item increases their AA while the AD added damage to their ability (Again Jax QWR, Kayle QE, Akaly passive and QR).
