I agree on Alistar, Taric, Twisted Fate, Viktor and Maokai.
Not sure on Fizz as Thornmail's always seemed pretty cost inefficient to me, though I understand how it helps with dueling and whatnot.
for Ap Gangplank I just stuck in my top-offtank build, but seeing as most play him as mid it seems, I'll change it to my mid build instead.
AP Nasus has to get pretty close to the enemy to lay down a good spirit fire and he doesn't have any real escapes so I'm not sure how well a glass cannon build would work on him.
AP Alistar: Sorcerer's Shoes, Rod of Ages, Athene's Unholy Grail, Rabadon's Deathcap, Void Staff, Zhonya's Hourglass
Why?: Ali doesn't need LB, mostly cause his cooldowns are forever taking. Rylai's is irrelevant when you have the innate CC of Gods.
AD Fizz: Same as your build but with a Thornmail over Frozen Heart.
AP Gangplank: Sorcerer's Shoes, Archangel's Staff, Lich Bane, Void Staff, Zhonya's Hourglass, Rabadon's Deathcap
Why? nerfs to Lichbane means AP GP needs waaaaay more AP to be efficient.
Top Graves: Just do a standard ADC build.
Why? He does 0 damage without it. Like, for serious.
AD Maokai: Literally would only need a trinity force to deal pretty good damage, then probably all tank items. Maybe a Blade of the Ruined King for more dueling power.
AP Nasus: Sorcerer's Shoes, Archangel's Staff, Zhonya's Hourglass, Athene's Unholy Grail, Void Staff, Lich Bane
Why? Your goal as AP Nasus is to deal ludicrous AoE damage with Spirit Fire, so get more AP brah.
On-Hit Nautilus: Literally the only good on-hit item on him is Wit's End.
Top Taric: Mercury's Treads, Rod of Ages, Iceborn Gauntlet, Randuin's Omen, Spirit Visage, Thornmail
Why?: Taric deals more damage by stacking armor and AP than AD and he heals more with lots of health.
ADC Twisted Fate: Berserker's Greaves, Blade of the Ruined King, Youmuu's Ghostblade, Infinity Edge, Last Whisper, Guardian Angel
Why?: The two opening items give him assassination power and the on-hits blend nicely with Stacked Deck.
Support Viktor: Sorcerer's Shoes, Augment: Death, Ruby Sightstone, Frost Queen's Claim, Void Staff, Zhonya's Hourglass/ Rabadon's Deathcap
Why?: Viktor's pretty much only good at being a mage. Blue core makes late game terribad.
Hope this helps.
I went a little conservative on the Gragas viability cause at the time of writing that, he'd just received a nerf (his w got a mana cost) and I didn't know how that it'd affect his sustain with Happy Hour. But, yeah, having since seen him still be played in Diamond, Ive given him back hi appropriate rank. Thanks for catching that :)
You can always turn on C2V:)
One remark- Gragas support is viable up to Diamond (GG Benq Edward)
Well done!
