The shoes might be interchangeable with
Your masteries are pretty messy. You missed out on
Runes are iffy too. Magic Resist Seals are pretty trash - you're better off with HP or HP per level. If you want Magic Resist, it's better off being in Glyphs.
Your matchups don't seem that solid to me either. Generally anyone who has a gap close will give
It seems you don't really have a firm grasp of the basics of
"But he really doesn't need the extra mana." - What's the purpose of RoA then?
"The Lich bane is there because I always found that when I started having it was a huge boost to my attack damage." - I've never mentioned LB in my comment?! I've talked about NT not fitting into any TF build ...
I think I just had Lich Bane on my mind at the time. The Rod of Ages is there mostly because it's a good health AP item for early game. NT is for early starters to bolster the damage of Lich Bane. It was the item I started out with as TF and I felt like it helped me get into the character more. The extra basic attack damage becomes huge combo'd with a blue card, stacked desk and a lich Bane. It also forces you to get closer to the champions to attack (when usually you only have to be at that range for a pick a card. Basically forcing you to get better at dodging skillshots. Out of the frying pan, into the fire.

I agree on the Build 2 and 3 but I entirely disagree on Build 1 as a build for new players. NT forces
"A starter guide" should definitely include content about Gameplay and on how to use TF's ultimate!
Cheers for the input @emoriam! The Lich bane is there because I always found that when I started having it was a huge boost to my attack damage. It's still an in progress guide but I thought there was enough there to help people get started with TF. Also, AUG is really good for TF in terms of the magic resist. But he really doesn't need the extra mana. Also, the first build is really for people who are below level 15 ish because The overall skill of the people you'd be facing doesn't require something like Zhonya's until late game. Overall I myself even build RoA quite regularly now anyway if I'm facing a Katarina but not many others. Not even Fizz. And I always found that by forcing myself to be quick and be close enough to make use of Lich Bane helped me a lot in terms of dodging skillshots. Or even stopping a Katarina ult.
I also took your advice and added a chapter on the use of Destiny! I think there might be some other things I could add later though.
