Despite this guy's opposition to this item, RoA is a lot more useful than banshee's viel in laning. The extra HP keeps you invulnerable to any sort of high burst AP champions and more than overcomes most of his laning issues. It currently yields the second highest amount of mana to tear/archangels and the passive doesn't get sacrificed for viel. I'd only get viel if they had multiple AP's and it was mid-late game.
