Trist has a better steroid, which works off of way better base stats, than Graves.
Trist has better mobility than Graves.
Trist is an entirely different creature.

Thanks to Jeffy40Hands for the quilt!

Well, but if I look at ranked games, nearly everytime there is a Graves ban/pick. And Tristana is never picked.

I think a redo for some of thees champions is in order. Rammus is actually really weak in the current jungle, and putting armor ratios on his Q would help his clear with BB.
Thanks to Miss Maw for the epic signature!

A few reasons -

1. Balance. This is obvious and not what you wanted to hear, I know, but giving, say, Rammus an AD ratio on his ult might make him OP, he needs to choose.

2. Auras. I think this is a more odd reason, but the reason they, for example, don't have no ratio whatsoever (in the case of Ashe's ult). Getting a WotA or a Baron buff, or having any AP at all should be at least somewhat beneficial to champions without major scaling elsewhere.

3. AD ratios weren't thought of until a while into LoL. Since DotA had no ability scaling and it came off that (and only one or two abilities scale off Agility/Strength (namely Morphling's Adaptive Strike), and the only real Intelligence (AP equivalent) scaling is Outworld Destroyer) then they must've thought up one big stat for every ability. The whole DotA thing might make sense to transfer to LoL, too - maybe Riot thought "Hey, we don't want no scaling at all, so we can slap something on!"

4. Diversity. Mentioned before, but of course champions like Kog can fit multiple roles and be more varied in item and skill builds.

Hey let's make all champs have a useable main stat scaling for ALL their abilities. That way, champs like Rammus/Malphite/Amummu etc. can invest in purely defensive items then have nuke like/carry like damage.....Thinking before we post sometimes saves others the trouble of pointing out inadequate logic.

Well, but the cooldown of Meditate is a bit too high, especially on higher levels. I would let the cd scale like 32/30/28/26/24. It should make AP YI more usefull in teamfights while not affecting his earlygame too much.

They simply were too strong if they'd scale on what they're played with. Imagine Ashes Arrow scales with AD.














Pentakill.
Thanks to MissMaw!
