I want an ap version of maw
Just do it riot.

It would be a must buy for every AP vs AP lane. That is why I believe they haven't added that item. Same thing with AD Zhonyas.
Hey guess what. Maw is a must by for every ad vs ap. See the fairness in that?

its not must by and in some cases its a bad idea.
Zhonyas is a must buy for every AP vs AD? The amount of brainpower involved in deciding which items are involved in the game must be crazy. Hours and hours they spend thinkin about it.. .

No it's not. Most of the time it's not even worth it after "buffs".
In my opinion after the Hexdrinker nerfs, Zhonyas is actually stronger. I don't believe there is a way to prove either of us right though. Before the Hexdrink nerfs I would agree with you 100 % that it was too strong. Now I think its just fine.
zhonyas is a must buy now, its straight up op if you get caught out and have a team that knows how to play no to mention the tower dives with it

The item would have to be some kind of damage reduction instead of a shield.
Maw is designed to pop up a shield on you and save you while your ap opponent blows all or most of their cool downs on you, so you can run or take them out.
A shield would be fine for assassins since they have cool downs.
ADCs, who I am assuming you want the item for, can do almost 1k damage on Crits that happen quite often depending on a build. So a shield wouldnt be as useful as flat damage reduction.
Just my two cents. I like your idea but I think ap casters need a slightly different style of defense.
theres an item called abysal sceoter ya that's the ap version of maw
cant have everything
