The main reason to go for stupid high on  is to go up against battlemages. I'm talking, , and kinda. The two things you get from going massive is a very high raw  ratio and a stupidly high global shield.

For laning purposes, it's essentially impossible due to the lack of personal shield power and sustain. However, as a jungler, its global burst saving potential can be extremely valuable. And since there is a raw increase in, killing camps becomes easier. Also, a 1,800+ shield sounds pretty neat.
