Ok, so after a few weeks of long hard IP farming, I finally managed to unlock her. Excited and all, I tested her out in bot game. No problems there, so I tried her PvP classic 5v5. First 3 games with her, they are all defeats and in each and every one of them ive had negative scores. Im a decent player, and don't usually get bad scores, but i dont know whats happening.

i start with boots + 3 health pots > HoG > Sheen > Phage > Merc or Tabi > Trinity > Wit's End > Randuins. game usually ends around wit's end till randuins, but i would get a FoN and wrap it up with a guardian angel. i max hiten style, then bladesurge, then equilibrium strike afterwards and of course getting my ult whenever i can. I feel that getting hiten style maxes her DPS while able to be going tanky. yes maybe her harass may not be that great but her sustainability from hiten style's passive is just.. great. i don't get philo because i feel like one "gold per five secs" item is enough. i get HoG > philo just because i like the HP HoG gives. im not a real fan of philo - don't flame.

so.. is something wrong the way im playing her? im a level 20 with no runes and my masteries are 0/13/7. i think my poor performance with her may be due to my not so great last hitting. i also feel that it takes ten billion years to finish my trinity, hinders my ability to perform well early to mid game. i dunno, any suggestions?
