First game with those items, only thing I have not changed yet is runes, but after calculating out the 28 or so armor I would get and just about 170 less health by replacing my health for armor, doesn't seem in my mind like it would be worth it.
But maybe after the next double IP weekend or something when I can afford the runes, I will test it out, since the armor runes can also be used for my Rammus build.

I'm looking forward to seeing your results :) My post is all theorical and i can't test it right now so i'm waiting for you to do it instead :evil:

Good luck :)

Thanks for the tips, let me try these out and adjust the build if it works out well.

Maybe you could change the Abyssal for a Rylai (actually, i would replace the Guardian angel but still get the Rylai first). This would give you some HP early (you need to survive your ultimate, and the 30% reduce damage is not that much, it's juste like ... Poppy's passive (i still wonder what the hell Riot smoked when they implemented this).

I think a banshee is really usefull if you make it as fast as possible without removing all your main stats. Here, the Lichbane grants you a better dps than the abyssal if you have already made the Rylai (thanks to its passive), so it may be done in second. Then, as you're already starting to get some AP and a nice proc from LB, you may go for Banshee for a better survability (remember you must survive your ulti).

It would make something like : Merc's treads -> Rylai -> Lichbane -> Banshee -> Abyssal -> Force of Nature. This sequence alternate DPS (full AP) and survival (HP/MR/regen) items, what should allow you to deal nice damages (though not heavy) and resist quite well all along the game.

Maybe you could change your HP runes for armor too, as you don't have any in the items. The damage reduction should be worth it compared to 300 hp that would go in a single auto attack without armor.

This build is ok, you start of the game pretty weak!! but once you have Lichbane he becomes a powerhouse.
