Some random guy on twitch (ALL I DO IS WIN is the IGN)started using AP tyrn a month or two ago and streamed himself using it. He went from ~silver to diamond III playing mostly AP tyrn. Because of his high scalings, he can clear waves, push the lane all day, take down towers without needing creeps to take the hits for him, walk out of 4-5 man ganks as if nothing ever happened (I saw ALL I DO IS WIN go from 1 HP from a 4 man gank to 75% HP in ~1 minute), etc, etc. In addition, even though he scales off of AP, he does AD damage, so people think that building MR against him will actually do something.
tl;dr: he's an unstoppable pushing machine/psuedo-tank.
Que'd up with a diamond + plat duo bot lane; diamond guy decided to go AP trist and carried hard.
