My thoughts on why they won't make a AP path for QSS

So some people wonder why there isn't an AP build path for QuickSilver Sash.

Here's why: It's an item for Sustained Damagers. People who burst only need a short while of time to be able to get off their damage. So, an early CC can kill them since they only need a short amount of time to have an effect on a fight.

Sustained damage require more time to deal damage, so CC can kill em, without them having much of an effect on a fight. They need some sort of back up to get off their damage.

That's why there is no AP equivalent for QSS.

Not sure, if this works on selfcast, but... item 3222 is pretty OK'ish item for mage if he really needs QSS. Maybe it doesn't give best mage-wise stats, but.. Mr + mana regen is always something.

And in the end cleanse/QSS won't do much against knockups. LoL is infested with knockup champions.. Actually i'm expecting Riot will add knockups on minions, cause it's fla$hy when everyone jumps around.

Also Mages are already pretty screwed with their builds costs. I'm 100% sure if Riot DID made mage QSS-like item, then it would be built from Needlesly large rod.

Well, to be fair there's no AD equivalent of item 3157 . I don't think that every item should have a flip-flopped version, they should remain unique. Similar, but different, kind of like infinity edge is to deathcap.
