Trolling as AP soraka? I reckon those people were what I'd call fools. Ignoring the fact that Support and mages are not an exclusive class and in some ways live symbiotically with each other.

Soraka massively benefits from being built AP. Super great healing. The Q actually does good damage. The Silence Disengages and handicaps aggression. Soraka can get really tanky on you when she has a lot of AP on her.

The problem that you experienced are from people who sort of live and die by meta. If they haven't seen the pros do it. They don't think it can be done. A stratagist weighs the pros and cons of an expierment based on general knowledge and simple logic. But we don't really get to have the Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong of LoL players. It's really just a lot of kids who talk long before they ever think.

Troll building is a fear of people not building for meta which is supposedly optimized for best performance in matches. Which is what I don't do. You can build wrong for a match. Such as choosing and being AP when you should tell people in champion select that you aren't tanking for them.

I calculate everything ahead of time and have my tablet open with notes on what to do when and where and what to build for which situation in any given match I'm in. And all my builds are out of meta. And they usually work pretty well. And it has too. Because I'm not interested in being bothered over not rushing BF sword or Blood thirster and instead by the Maw and Stattik Shiv.
