I don't think anyone said that you should not build AP on him. It's more like "better build AP items that also provide a bit of tankiness ". Consider items like Athene, Zhonya also give defensive stats, and Rylai, RoA or Liandry give HP, it's actually not hard to go for both AP and abit of tankiness.

I kinda agree with the Champ spotlight that Banshee can be a good purchase on him despite giving zero offensive stat. His ult is very strong if you can fully channel it, and no item helps that better than Banshee. Even with a strong front line, it is still easy to be interupted in this dive heavy meta.

My build would be Sorc boots, Athene, Zhonya, Void, Banshee and Liandry. It could be adjusted to fit in a specific situation.
