Cuz I hate top

Cuz Im bad at the game

You don't

Your focus should be on farming cuz your ganking is wack with no cc pre 6 so ure like a Yi but with half health most of the time early game.

Gwen jungle clear is doo doo water but once you survive after a couple of backs you should scale well in the mid2late game.

After some times in practice, I've come to the conclusion that Sunfire is objectively the best item on Gwen based on my opinion.

Heres why based Sunfire is objectively better than cringe Riftmaker

I dont get one shot

Which in turns allows me to deal more damage.
Seriously tho, Full AP Gwen is kinda risky because you can't reliably use your Q (main sorce of damage) more than once or twice since you'd get Thanos snapped the momment ur W runs out.

So with a tankier build trading a small, insignificant, unnoticable and negligeable lost of damage (objectively tested), you can now live up to the name of a true AP bruiser with 3,5k health + Max Health True damage + I'm Blue + jg gap + s12 champ + anime diff + Gwen is Immune

No damage. Yes, it gives you extra cc, something she desperately needs. But the cost of damage is too great for the cc to actually be impactful. Gwen benefits a lot more from Sunfire Aegis due to her high attack speed. And although the slow from FrostFire Gaunlet is nice, it doesn't scale well with her late game and overall isn't justifiable for the loss in DPS.
