Viable, of course! However, very situational & overall not great.

AP Kog has low burst (even after you calculate Q magic resist shred, which in reality very hard to do first in your combo). QE alone is 1.4 AP with 520 base damage. Supposedly you manage to hit 1 ulti, that is still less than 900 base damage and a pathetic 1.7 ratio. In this season, even support survives that easily. What make him also not a great poke APC is having no mobility (Nida, Ezreal...) or hard CC (Syndra, Xerath...). His poke though doing decent damage, is not a game changer (unlike Nida spear or Jayce canon). Vs a team full of Mundo, Darius... (the bunch without gap closer), I can see him doing decent, but put in 1 assassin and you see him doing nothing in TF other than some passive true damage.

And AP Kog is NOT worth a whole team effort to protect compare to AD.
