"Wow Janna/Sona/Lulu, your utility is so good because you have all that AP"
Said no one ever
Utility ratios really need to be looked into, or even better REMOVED
It's not fun having to share a resource with damage dealers because that forces that champion to have crappy ratios as well as all support AP items to have pathetic AP values on them because midlaners would abuse them.
) so it's not as good but the increased shield, AD and heal does get noticeable.
