5 AA's and a Rabadon provide the highest AP in the game. Stacking AA's is still effective because while their 1k mana passive doesn't stack, their base 400 mana and %mana conversion to AP does. This means that you still end up increasing your max mana pool and translating more of that max mana pool into AP - providing far more than the flat AP (generally ~80) on most other AP items; one fully-stacked AA will give you at least 100 AP.

While this now sounds very good, it's really very risky because AAs provide absolutely zero survivability (unless you're Blitzcrank xD) and zero utility, which AP carries are tending towards in the slightly changing meta; and if your positioning isn't perfect, it might not be the best idea to stack AAs in most games as it makes you free food. Probably best to leave that to Armegdon - he knows what he's doing :P
