I mean an item that gives more raw AP than anything else for not much cost. I suppose this is sort of like Bloodthirster in that it gives MP5 where Bloodthirster gives lifesteal, but spellvamp would be a closer analogy. But Riot has been pretty anti-spellvamp lately.

Bloodthirster doesn't take long to charge, but then you can lose it. AAS can take all game to be as good as a second deathcap, and that can be impractical. And you don't usually need *that* much mp5 in the same way as lifesteal is always welcome. :-/
