Introduction
In all seriousness, there is a lot of info down below. If you only read one thing, read the ganking/roaming/WOMBO COMBO section. I've been having a lot of success with this build and you can too!
The runes are pretty basic.
Predator: The reason I run predator is because it is useful in so many situations. It is sort of like the new homeguard if people remember that but it can be casted wherever/whenever. What are some uses of predator?
1. Use it to get back to lane
It takes no time to do a quick back during laning phase if you are chunked. This also works great with future's market because you can go into debt so if you really get ****ed early lane, you can back at 130 gold and buy boots and be back in lane in 10 seconds.
2. Use it to gank
Typically you gank mid at anywhere during the laning phase. Once you go missing from lane, the enemy bot will ping that you are missing. However, most mid laners will not expect you to be mid so fast. I'll go into more detail on ganking later.
3. Catching people out/getting picks
If you see the enemy caught out, you can use predator to get to them extremely quickly, then stall them until your teammate gets to you to finish the kill.
4. Getting the **** out
If you are caught out in the enemy jungle and you wait for all of the enemies ranged skill shot, you can activate predator and Speedy Gonzales out of there. You can also use your W to create a gap and then activate predator to continue the speed boost.
Cheap Shot: Cheap shot is an easy way to get damage in when you are fighting bot lane or ganking. Your Q E and R all impair the enemy so it makes for an easy way to put in damage during fights.
Zombie Ward: This one is a no brainer. You get extra wards around which means you have more vision. Deep enemy jungle wards also do well because they give you so much information and can live for awhile.
Ingenious Hunter: you get extra active item cdr which is a no brainer when you have trinkets and other actives such as hextech flash, hextech protobelt, righteous glory, gargoyle stoneplate, locket, knights vow, redemption, and zzrot portal. You're literally a living active item.
Hextech Flashtraption: First off didn't even know it was called Hextech Flashtraption. Thought it was just called Hextech Flash. Secondly, this is a busted ability. There are countless ways to destroy the enemy with this.
1. Hextech flash into midlane
If you sweep the brush on the side of midlane and there is no ward, you can hextech flash into the midlane. This will catch the mid laner off guard and helps you gap close.
2. Hextech flash onto the enemy during lane
Some cute tricks are to hextech flash from under your turret where there isn't much vision to the enemy. Sometimes you can catch them off guard with a hook. Another good way to use hextech flash is to flash from the side bush and get a quick knock up off, giving your adc time to engage and a jungler if they are ganking.
Future's Market:
BUSTED. Future's Market is amazing as a support. Because you don't have a lot of cash flow, you can take advantage of going into debt to get that extra edge on the enemy after your first back.

Future's Market:
BUSTED. Future's Market is amazing as a support. Because you don't have a lot of cash flow, you can take advantage of going into debt to get that extra edge on the enemy after your first back.
Your core items for this build are mobility boots and your support item, whether it be the upgraded coin or upgraded relic shield.
Otherwise, you have a wide variety of choices of items to choose from. After these two core items, you honestly go by how the game is going. If you are hard winning and carrying your team, I would recommend hextech protobelt or righteous glory. These two items are amazing when you roam. The reason is that you can pull off some good combos. I'll talk about that in the next sections Ganking and Combos.
You can then choose from the array of items I listed above. It really depends on what is going on in the game. Make sure to read the notes I put with each item sets. Gives some good detail about how you should choose your last few items.

Alright. So you got all these sick active abilities. Now to learn the combos with them.
Roaming mid is my favorite thing to do with this build. As long as your adc plays safe, you have nothing to lose. Also, ganking mid early means that you won't be in your lane, giving your adc extra exp. If you're playing with an adc with a great level 6 powerspike, such as tristana or twitch, this roaming will even give you the advantage when you get back into lane because your adc will be level 6 while the enemy is level 5 or even 4.
Early game roam mid strategy: get into the side bush. Scan or place a control ward to make sure it isn't warded. Even if it is warded, it can catch the enemy mid laner off guard when you charge in with predator and w. Oops spoiler! Yep, predator is op. It lasts a long time. If the bush is warded, use predator and w. If it isn't warded, use hextech flash if available (otherwise save flash for when you have to dive the turret in like 10 seconds).
Once you are in the mid lane, charge at them. You should be fast enough just to speed in and knock them up with your E. Then you make a decision. Either Q them at point blank range for good damage so your mid laner can finish them quickly. Or if they are still relatively high on health. You can wait for them to move towards their turret then hook them. Really, its a judgement call.
This gank is very powerful. You can either get rid of the enemy midlaner summoners or you can get your mid laner a kill. Either way, win win. Rarely do you die to this, and if you do, it is because the enemy jungler was waiting in the opposite bush when you rolled up.
LATE GAME COMBO WOMBO:
Usually, the late game combo consists of you button mashing. You have to use a lot of actives in a short amount of time. Here is a list of what usually happens:
1. Predator
2. Once you're close enough, Righteous Glory and W. If there are minions in the way, protobelt to clear the minions. AND YES PROTOBELT IS GREAT FOR REMOVING CREEP SO YOU GET A CLEAR HOOK.
3. Hook the champion. If they are really caught it, it is ok to hook the tank, but typically, don't do that.
4. Destroy the caught out champion
OTHER LATE GAME BIG **** PLAY:
Sometimes you can't get that pick because they are playing super safe. If you need to start a fight, you can do the following:
1. Predator
2. Once you're close enough, Righteous Glory and W. You will have some super sayan speed. Get in there. Whip your **** around. Play it like you mean it. You can also flash here if you have it up to get into the cluster of the enemy.
3. Gargoyle Stoneplate, Hextech Protobelt. This should happen right as your Righteous Glory is about to end.
4. E the enemy carry. Let the fight take you wherever it takes you. Usually you will survive, the enemy will be silenced for a moment, then your team will have collapsed on the enemy carry.
5. Dab on the haters
