I'm not a big fan of it. My brother and cousin wanted me to go AP instead of Auras for better heals...the Rabadon's basic AP adds 45 HP, I think...For the heals to reach up to two hundred at level 5, you need 320 AP.

At first my cousin was happy because I was healing 145 at one point....it was because I maxed out Aria first. Which I'll start doing when I'm with them. I've been giving it more chances, but I'm not impressed, especially by how much money I need. And, there's not a lot of AP/Support items...Maybe Abyssal Scepter and Will of the Ancients.

But, going offensive AP still isn't good unless you get Lich Bane and just use an ability between each attack, OR add in a lot of movement speed and max CDR. Sona's Hymn will hurt, but it'll make you angry when you have to chase someone through minions or their teammates, and she attacks one of them instead of killing the other person. The only way to really get through that is be very fast to stay close to them, and/or be able to almost spam it in case it hits someone else.
