Isn't it "You're" instead of "your"? i want to know cuz im learning english, im not a grammar nazi
You're = You are
Your = refers to something that belongs to "you"
In "your comment", it's the correct use of "your" as "you are comment" makes no sense.
In "your welcome", I'm pretty sure that you are right and it's "you're welcome", not "your".
@Zoltux, didn't have to read anything but your comment to downvote because of author's attitude. Your welcome!

@Vapora Dark, Didn't have to read past the first sentence to notice you're ****ting on my guide, thanks!
I actually upvoted, but ok lol. I suppose your guide is too good to need criticism. For implying your guide was anything other than perfect, I sincerely apologize.
Can you teach me how to make my guide perfect?
This build isn't high-risk high-reward, it's actually low-risk high-reward. Armor pen items are cheap items which are effective against ANY enemy at any point; low armor = near true damage, high armor = low armor. If you're behind, that's no problem, armor pen items are cheaper than flat AD items, and they're effective against anyone. If you're ahead, then that's great, because you can buy all these cheap items which are effective against anyone and never fall off. It's the most cost-effective AND cheapest item build you can use. That's why it's actually low-risk high-reward.
You won't do true damage to the enemy mid laner at any point unless they don't take armor in their seals, which rarely happens. Or you get a level 2 Brutalizer or something. They don't need to start
Your maths is wrong. % armor pen stacks multiplicatively, so post-LW you have 39% armor pen, not 41%. The end result is 200 armor = 42 armor. Not a huge difference, but it's good to be accurate.
Why do you think that Ravenous Hydra < BT? I don't necessarily disagree, but your guide didn't offer any input into the matter. It's obvious why you wouldn't like Tiamat rush, it promotes a more passive playstyle than rushing armor pen. But why BT instead of Hydra as your 5th item?
Brutalizer -> LW -> Youmuu's -> Black Cleaver is a more effective build order than Youmuu's -> Black Cleaver -> LW. Youmuu's on its own doesn't do much, and the build path is horrible for laning. Brutalizer is great, but you're spending 800 gold on a stat that isn't AD, on a champion with huge AD ratios and right after building armor pen. It's kinda counter-productive to build armor pen, then not build damage, isn't it? Black Cleaver has the same problem. You build armor pen, then it's another 1600 odd gold before you even get more damage. LW in itself, as an item, has more damage than Black Cleaver anyway, and doesn't have any awkward build paths. So if you're using an armor pen build, Brutalizer into LW is the best opening. Then either Youmuu's or Cleaver into another Brutalizer.
You should mention that if you get an advantage over Lee Sin in lane, you can actually duel him by dancing around your minions while you auto-attack him. He won't be able to cast Q if you constantly place a minion between you and him, and he's likely to accidentally blow his Q on a minion, and he can't out-duel you without it if he's maxing Q and building damage (which most Lee mids do).
I'm not trying to bash your opinion in any way, shape, or form because I'm honestly surprised that a writer of a guide would compliment another. Thank you for your support and I will get right away to adding the difficult laners. (Lee Sin jungle is really annoying because of his Q and E)
Hydra does indeed have less AD than BT. However, it is more useful for "utility" tasks. The active also helps with bursting, almost (if not more than) BT. BT also takes time to charge up. It can also half the stacks.
Infinity Edge works with Youmuu's. A late game crit deals about 1000 damage.
Now then, you don't have to replace BT. You can, if you want, replace GA. GA is not necessary if you play well. Not getting caught, having wards up, general map awareness.
Otherwise, excellent guide. I look forward to any future updates :)
