If people still built ROA people would call it OP.
The problem is that there doesn't seem to be a lot of viable choices for mana except Chalice/Grail right now. Tear builds into AA which isn't that great (glasscannon), and Catalyst/RoA is not that great for mana sustain outside of the laning phase.

I think it's more of most AP's can very easily teamfight with the mana from just grail+blue buff. Only a few have such high burst mana usage to warrant building a pool (zilean, AP kog, kassadin), or have kits that benefit immensely from being able to sustain high mana usage over long periods of time(Anivia, swain, karthus)

Except you can't download the patch on Eu west yet.
The service status says they're almost there for an hour and a half now
Edit: new update, it'll take time than riot anticipated.

Make your mother play your placement matches.
Play any lane and last hit very poorly, I'm talking 10cs by 10min. Then force a dragon fight with one of your teams member away, lose it completely, write gg in team chat and that's that.
