100% fine as long as the two remaining champs are a serious AD threat, and one of the AP champs goes bottom. Full AD teams get shut down a lot easier than full AP teams do, which is why you generally see more AP champs picked for competitive SR teams than AD ones, with the vast majority of the AD damage output left up to one carry.

I have had some games with 3 ap based champs and one ad. I ended up being a superstar because nocturne vs people forced to build mr = lol

Having 3 squishy AP champs all with good hard CCs and damage = no clear target. No clear target + high burst + hard CC = very good offense. What's that saying about the best defense?

Just throwing my two cents in, even though it's starting to sound like a parrot chorus...

I think it can work, especially if one of those AP champs is bot. Even if you end up with 3 AP top, it CAN work if you have 2 AP carries (Cass, Brand, Ziggs, Ahri etc.) and an AP tank, along with a major AD threat (Jax, Vayne, Ezreal, etc.) Sending 3 AP carries top is probably not a good idea, mainly because AP carries don't scale as well with items as other champions. Your 4th top champ either has to be an AD threat (so you have no tank) or a tank (so they stack MR and you lose, badly).

People complain about AP carry itemization on Crystal Scar, but the game was purposefully designed this way. The reason the mid lane AP carry is dominant in SR is because AP carries scale best with LEVELS, and you'll never get a big experience advantage on Crystal Scar.

Three AP champions is generally a mistake unless one AP is a tank. Generally any Dominion team should be two sources of AD, two sources AP, and whatever bottom wants to play. Any 4-1 mix is usually going to fail, as the opposing team can just ignore/burst down the lone damage type to remove it from the equation. Much worse if the only AP on the team is bottom.

I am thinking Singed, Kass and Cass

They seem to do alright
