I hate how they keep nerfing the raw AP from items....even stacking items such as ROA will now only give 100 AP, which is nothing for a 10 minute stacking period.

They should give player the chance to itemize for high amounts of raw AP. Smite has a curious model in that if you want high Power (AP/AD) you go into stacking items (Warlock's Sash, Book of Thoth, Doom Orb, the equivalents of ROA, Seraph's and Mejai's) which gives them stacks based on minion kills. Their version of Mejai's is stackable on minions, goes up to 50 stacks but you lose half your stacks on death. With the mage update, alot of AP mids will lose on their late/endgame 6-item power and it's the second update they do this.

I think a similar system could be implemented on LoL, where if you want to spec into lategame raw AP, you could build a ROA/Seraph/Mejai's if they got some buffs/tweaks to their AP when completed. That way you could choose between quick damage items to try and snowball, but risk getting outscaled or go for stackingbut risk loosing lane before you reach your powerspike.
