On the rest, there's not much I can do to convince you. I might do a blog post on min-maxing skills one day, but it would be a clutter if I kept explaining it here.
- Rylai's is very good for catching squishies, it helps a lot in catching them, specially against Kindred and Kalista
- Liandry's Torment is amazing, specially if your ahead! The burn is specially good in long-term trades, specially with Riptide! And yes, perhaps is would be better to max Riptide first, but I still think going for the spilt leveling is better
-Magic Penetration (can't link it) It's great, since our main focus is ap, also its great for trades with Titan's Wrath, Sterak's Gage damage it's really just for the basics
Grave mistake:
- Min-maxing abilities. 90% of the time you should focus on maxing one basic spell over the others, so you can have a nice level 9 powerspike. I reckon Nautilus could be an exception since both Riptide and Titan's Wrath might be maxed together, but you're just putting random side points on abilities, which takes away from the scaling one ability might have. This is a pretty common mistake and a no-brainer for most experienced players. There is always one ability that outscales the others (I max Riptide first because gives the strongest powerspikes, you could max the others based on preference), so you should aim to max that one as soon as possible. With naut you could max one ability at level 10 after getting another one to level 3 ( Titan's Wrath for damage soaking and Riptide for damage dealing would be my choice), but that's not what you have right now.
Dubious choices:
- Liandry's Torment as a core. It's a decent item if you're fed and plan on rolling over your enemies, but it mostly sucks if you're not ranged. You might have a better damage/tankiness combination by maxing Riptide first while building Sunfire Aegis first item, but I reckon maxing Titan's Wrath first goes well with Liandry's, since your fights would be more drawn-out.
- Rylai's Crystal Scepter as an option. 4 out of 5 of your abilities (Q, E, R, Passive) are CC. 80% of the time you're not using the passive slow.
- Greater Mark of Magic Penetration. You should try a couple of greater mark of hybrid penetration. You're using your autoattacks a lot and building Sterak's Gage as a core. You can use some combination of hybrid and magic pen to get to a "1 armor pen : 2 magic pen ratio" or whatever ratio of magic/physical damage you see in your match history. Also maxing Titan's Wrath means you'll be dealing your damage mostly from autos, which means more physical damage than by maxing Riptide, so maybe Greater Mark of Attack Speed would be better.
Other than that, the guide looks good and is nicely formatted. You seem to have put a lot of work on it!
