^ Surviving is also important, you can't do much damage if you're dead you know. Also I'd rather spend some cash on defenses I have to get at some point anyway than try to build more AP that's not going to help me in lane (and if he's zoning you hard AP really isn't going to help you).

Just because you have to buy some defenses against certain opponents doesn't mean you're weak and useless. Winning your lane is more important than 80 more damage per spell (probably even less when you take enemy mres into account).
