^ some people do go hefty ap on him, I think during the IPL one team even ran malphite with double dorans + sorc + deathcap + abyssal as their top lane versus a darius. The majority of it was just to spam his q in laning phase and try and win trades.

Dorans actually works very well for him as even the small hp increases his passive, everything on it helps his trading. Lategame though I'd assume this build would scale off rather horrificly.
