AP tris is useless now. The high ratios mean almost nothing. Her new full combo involves WALKING UP TO your target (you can't jump on them!) E, aa 4 times, then jump on them, R, then wait for E to go off, THEN you get your reset to get to safety. Did we mention E has less range now? Did we mention it also does physical damage instead of magic and that the damge of BOTH W and E is lousy if you don't get stacks by aa-ing? Did we mention you have to wait for your E to detonate to get your jump reset? What about your early game being absolutely worthless in lane against literally any movement ability while costing you way more mana?

Just because the ratios are stupid high does not mean she's actually any good AP. Taking 5+ seconds to do your "burst" combo that involves you being right in your targets face as a squishy or trying to slowly kill them with only 2 abilities (one of which does physical damage). AP tris simply does not work now. AT ALL. AT ANY STAGE OF THE GAME.

This means that AD tris is the only way to go, which means that the changes to her W mean nothing. (yay 70 magic damage on an adc at full stacks.......). Granted that doesn't mean I don't like her new E, it's actually very interesting and I think the mechanic is very fun and unique. But AP tris? Dead.

MAYBE, a hybrid tris could be effective if done right. Maybe. (gunblade/lichbane/rageblade/nashor???)
