I think the intent more is to allow her to build a sixth item, and thus replace her need for her current passive (which people don't like). Instead of increasing her AP by X% and giving her free CDR, she now gets to build an extra item.

I like her current kit but she's been god awful since her most recent mana cost nerfs (that were a response to top lane Cassi, I believe). She's never really had enough mana to kill most opponents outright, but her old refund used to be sufficient to mean that she could reasonably bully and then recharge. Now, bullying costs too much mana and she doesn't regenerate it anyway near efficiently enough - so she just can't kill people.
