AP IS viable, much more so than AD Shaco.

AD Shaco, the nirvana-level orgasm of season 2 Shaco players, cannot defeat:

1) Dedicated AD assassins like Talon and Pantheon

2) Dedicated AD bruisers like Riven and Renekton

3) ANYTHING that stacks armor and benefits from it like Malphite and Rammus, plus Morgana and Swain

4) ANY high-burster with Oracle of even a well-placed (not so difficult) vision ward

5) Teemo, which is hilarious and embarrassing and demanding of seppuku after game

The problem with ANY pure AP stacking (nothing else but boots), is that you WILL die horribly from everything, you WILL feed and you WILL lose. But unfortunately, you won't castrate yourself afterwards, so the gene pool will continue to be polluted.
