Okay so as you know, Bacchus is a hybrid. However people confuse him as a "Freya"-like hybrid (ya know, pure damage?). Bacchus, being a tank is ironically built attack damage. In my opinion however, the key to a good Bacchus is building him defensively with a hybrid mix of Attack and Magical damage.
I hear you ...
I dont have Bacchus in my collection of gods but I also seen lot of phsycall builds although hes an AP tank. I guess its not that bad If you play him really good but I generally think he shouldnt take AD role
Bacchus is a pretty good tank just he has a really slow start because, you need to get hand of gods and med at the start so you need to get mana buff and what not. Hes more of a brusier then a tank and a good nuker, jumping in there and using ult then using your stun to get a easy kill! I'd really have to say void stone would be a pretty stupid buy im not saying its bad i just perfer demonic grip. Pretty much its all depending on your play style, Being aggresive would go for a more ad with a little bit of ap build, being more tanky would have you building items such as wall of abso and what not.
Bacchus has one of the most useful ults in the game. I mean to take damage and be intoxicated? INTOXICATED. Last time I was intoxicated I couldn't land 1 auto-hit or ability, imagine the disadvantage in a team fight.
Build him as a tank with mana and cooldown so Breastplate of Valor is great for him. Focus is optional because his stun isn't that long. That's my experience with bacchus, don't know about an AD build, maybe Ankh of the Golem with Bulwark of Hope and Sovereignty would be a good AD build. Other then that I quite like him as a tank with lotsamana
