Hmm...so the build is...

Merc treads, Ravenous hydra, Spirit of the elder lizard, Statikk shiv, bulwark, and trinity force?

I am having a bit of a hard time finding out the direction of this build. Sure you get AoE from ravenous hydra and some small amount of burn for spirit of the elder lizard (and less useful unless this is jungle plank.) Shiv works however IE is also a good contender. Bulwark has a lot of mr but little armor. And trinity is getting some slight nerfs to attack speed due to zeal nerfs.

What does the build aim to do? Sure he has AD and attack speed with decent crit but he lacks in armor which is an important stat since he will be running up to the enemy to attack. And there is little if any synergy between the item's unique passives besides being able to split push really fast. Something that is good but not as useful on gp as it is on other champs imo.
