Personalty I don't even bother with revolver. You don't NEED sustain that much, you can just buy red pots while rushing real items that will win you lane, like Arm-guard and haunting guise.

Later in the game, WotA is mediocre after all the nerfs, and Gunblade is generally unviable compared to similarly priced items, for reasons I've fleshed out below.

I just don't see the virtue of revolver on rumble when a guise is a little more and will let me KILL my lane enemy better, while also giving me a degree of survivability. As rumble, you win trades 90% of the time. Trades aren't the issue, it's all ins. Revolver doesn't help that much in all ins, especially past early game.

I'd grab a revolver against a sustain heavy lane I can pretty much never kill, like a Vladimir, or MAYBE against a good kennen, who pokes and is unkillable. But against standard bruiser fair? I do this 90% of games:

Cloth -> Armguard -> Boots -> Guise -> Sorc. (Unless I NEED tank boots) -> Rylai's

After that it's all situational. Also, Liandry's kind of sucks, for reasons detailed here: http://na.leagueoflegends.com/board/showthread.php?t=3149455

Tl;dr is that it doesn't work with his Q and R. Like, at all.
