Well, the season 5 Mid lane meta is assassins...not AP so that would mean that most likely, you would need an AP Jungle which would either be Elise who is more of a tank and Fiddle sticks who is not the greatest right now. If you would want to go AP in the mid lane, there is a Doran's Ring to start. The AD champion, assassin, would start a Blade therefore if he had runes a better AD ratio. So, if you were playing Ahri mid lane, you would be out-damaged at level 3 when the assassin tries to poke and then maybe ignite for a kill. He would be then left at maybe half health and then start bringing it back up with the blade+ Health pot. By the time you are back in lane. he has pushed the turret down to half health and is now at full health again. Again, back to jungle. The AP item for jungle, in my opinion, is not the greatest. Being silver I can not say much about the topic however. Most people who are AP jungle would rather go for juggernaut which isn't good either. If assassins in the mid lane (Zed, Leblanc, Yasuo ETC) were so easily countered, why is Seekers armguard so much gold, by the time you have farmed enough minions for it the assassin already has like a brutalizer, or a bligewater cutlass. So back to my point. AP Junglers would be needed for if something like a Zed was on the opposing team. DFG was removed, and The lowest costing MR item being 500 Gold,item 1033 It would mean that the 200 gold difference would not matter. Then, we have top lane what is the worst offender. Top starts with t, so does tank! So if you needed an AP top lane, then that Fiddle jungle would have to build tank, rendering the enemy team only needing to build 1 Armor item to render your team completely no damage. Why would that AP top lane not be countered let me just remind you of real AP top laners.

Riot's goal seems to be to gut the AP mid laners so that mid is filled with lcsbigplays AD champs.
