^Because Riot's tags are not always accurate for one (Lux is Support? Her "Support" build is a total joke, and quite ineffective, but oh, SHE HAS A SHIELD. She MUST be Support!)

More importantly, every single champ that has Riot's "Carry" tag is either AD-based or is hybrid (meaning it has an AD-build as an option).

Point being: Riot doesn't recognize "AP Carries", instead they label them with the more nebulous "Mage" category, even though Mages can vary in extremes in how they're played/built (Rumble compared to Zilean. They're both "mages", why not?)

"AP Carry" is a community descriptor, just like Tanky-DPS, and those are far more accurate in practice than any of the "Word of God" descriptors Riot provides.

(Bruiser vs Fighter...they both describe Tanky-DPS champs, and it's equally silly)
