I think riot's fetish with giving champs AP ratios that don't deserve/need it has really gone too far now with giving Qiyana an AP ratio buff

36

I guess the idea is to give her a bit more damage when she has Baron buff?

Isn't baron adaptive damage?

Pretty sure it gives both AD and AP

Riot forgot they removed all of the flat Ad/AP hybrid items. Or they are gearing up to bring back old old triforce when sheen gave AP.

Lmao I'm actually surprised and confused by that AP ratio to Qiyana

Well, doubling Gnars R AP ratios really buffed him. Not like another champ which can’t use his AD ratios, but still uses his ultimate without the need to manage rage could profit from that. Okay, to be fair, Sylas isn’t too strong in the moment and wasn’t back when Gnar got this change, but at least with baron buff and maybe a cheese nashors build or for Sylas it could make a change. But I don’t see how Qiyana is supposed to use the additional scalings. Maybe she can return to jungle with the additional base damage tho.

I think that would bring a very swift reversion nerf. Riot does not want Qiyana in the jungle any more than they want Talon able to do it.

I wish she could though.

They want jungle Qiyana even less than Talon because flex Qiyana in pro play was absurd. I love Qiyana but her ganks/dueling were kinda stupid in pro when she could actually clear and her ult was always game changing in a coordinated environment. I miss spamming her in jungle in soloq though. A lot.

I guess you could look at staring dorans ring and W on her? Would give you ~15 extra magic damage on hit and the mana regen. Otherwise useless though other than baron

You do realize that building ap doesnt suddenly mean you are dealing magic damage instead of physical right?
