Will RoA+Archangle's be a thing in S6?

Full RoA: 500HP+800MANA+120AP Archangle's: (80+3%*MaxMana)AP

This means every RoA with Archangle's gives 120+800*3%=144 AP So maybe I can build + + + + + All CDR Runes(30% at lv18) on Orianna,Avinia,Kassadin...

EDIT: Every new RoA gives 80+400*3%=92 AP, just a little less than Zhonya/Echo/Rylai

Problem is it takes a long time to stack up Road and Arcangel's so you are significantly weaker early game, allowing your enemy to snowball.

I don't think this will ever become meta for few reasons:

The time it takes to stack all those RoA's. Let's say, you can get your first RoA in 12 minutes, and then, you get another RoA every ~8 minutes. That means, your last RoA will charge up at about 38th minute of the game. Assuming you will get these every 8 minutes or faster. This is so snowball reliant, if you fck up too many times in early and mid game, you won't be able to get RoA in reasonable amount of time. Very, very risky, but not really rewarding, because:
Do you really want to sacrifice 2 item slots for additional RoA's? Besides stats, RoA gives you completely nothing. Yeah, it gives a lot of them, but are these really more worthy than Zhonya's active? Or maybe Morello's Grievous Wounds? Or that sweet Luden's passive? I don't think so.

I'm not saying that you shouldn't do that, if you really want, then go on. Imo, it's not gonna be good build, but maybe you will have some success with it. Good luck.
