AP

1. What does AP stand for in League of Legends?

Ability power

League of Legends (LoL) players use AP to stand for Ability Power. This stat adds power to certain abilities, items, and runes.

For example, the item Nashor's Tooth gives your champion +100 AP and makes your champion's basic attacks deal 15 + 20% AP additional damage. This means that, by itself, Nashor's Tooth makes your basic attacks deal 35 additional damage. Any additional AP your champion possesses (either inherently or from other items) will increase Nashor's Tooth's power.

Example

Some champions scale with AP a lot better than others, so you should consider who on your team is best suited for items that enhance AP

5. What parenting method is AP?

Attachment parenting

Parents, pediatricians, and childcare specialists may use AP as shorthand for "attachment parenting." This set of infant parenting methods promotes empathy, responsiveness, and lots of parent-child physical contact.

Pediatrician William Sears coined the term attachment parenting in 1985. As he and his wife, registered nurse Martha Sears, began to share their ideas about attachment parenting with others, they began referring to the new paradigm as AP.

Example

What's the difference between AP and normal parenting?

6. What does AP stand for?

Anti-piracy

Fans of TheGreatUnknown Productions YouTube videos use AP to stand for "anti-piracy." The channel specializes in creating custom videos of kill screens for software, gaming consoles, and services.

The videos featuring kill screens may be due to a console overheating or a bug in the game that causes it to crash. Or, they may be due to the detection of pirated content and thus referred to as "anti-piracy," or "ap" for short by the TheGreatUnknown Productions fandom.

People may use "AP" as an acronym for various words, such as "attack power," "Associated Press," or "attached parenting." You can typically tell the intended meaning of the word by the context in which it's used. For example, if you are watching a video produced by TheGreatUnknown Productions and see a comment with "ap" in it, it is most likely referring to anti-piracy.
