rylai's is a fine ap choice post laning phase but only after some core items.

I'd really strongly recommend against taking both athene's and morello's simply because maxing CDR seems like a cool idea for velk. He's not the only mage in the game who has so-so AP ratios and yet its not a good idea to double up on your cdr/utility ap items on any of them in lieu of deathcap, zhonya's, roa, or rylai's.

For whatever reason, league wikia will latch on to onorthodox builds simply for the sake of being different and won't shake them until what actually works best is hammered down firmly. Sort of like how we don't see on-hit Kogmaw, ap varus, hybrid kat or lots of squishy bruisers anymore despite how popular they seemed from wikia comments.
