User blog comment:Odisseas25/Why does the AP go to mid?/@comment-5556439-20130211051056

Welcome back :P

Anyway, AP goes mid now because APC's gain more benefit from leveling and experience than gold and items early game. Mid lane gives easy access to levels and blue buff, which allows them to hang in lane longer, farm more, and get more xp so they can achieve level 6. Once level 6 is hit, they can begin to roam, this is where the main reason APC's are mid comes in. Most AP champs have some form of CC like a stun or hard slow, and this reaaaally goes a long way during a gank. Also, the burst can shread a health bar, but leave just enough left for your AC to secure it. THAT is the reason. Great ganks, map dominance, quicker ganks, better ganks, more ganks, more levels. Crappy, sparse comment i know but thats my 2 cents, im a bit tired atm.
