Those are very selfish builds and I condemn you for it. The only AP item I would build outside of support items is Lich Bane for just more poke and CDR.

Yes, AP Sona is powerful, but not without her weaknesses. Her effectiveness in the early game is mitigated with high mana costs, and you would get your items way too late to be relevant in a teamfight.

There's a reason why support items exist, and people just don't build AP items.

You can say the heal is weak, but it's increased by 40% from items. AP is not always required, that's why things like Soraka are what they are.
