I want to like This guy but have some serious issues. First of all unlike most champions, he needs a precise item build depending on the enemy champions and stage of the game. You screw off by one item and the fail train starts. Had some dominating games with him where I'm even carrying, had some terrible feeding frenzy games where I'm just a bunch of free gold roaming the map. He's an exceptional early-mid game fighter but tends to scale badly in late game. In teamfights you should focus squishies or AD carries and try to bring them down asap. Building glass cannon is just an awful idea, building tanky dps causes your damage to become sub-par in late game. Regarding item builds, I've seen that you should ALWAYS get Frozen Malet regardless of the enemy team. Cooldown reduction on him is good, but Mercs>Ionian boots in most cases. I'm not very fond of Atmogs on him, depends on how well you're going. There's no need for Trinity Force on him if you get malet and you should, Black Cleaver is a good item on him and the same can be said for Bloodthirster. Build a Randuins if enemy team has melee, FoN/Wits end for AP heavy enemies. Surprisingly enough, sword of the occult is a good item for him, despite its unreliability, you'll usually get plenty of assists in teamfights from your ulti's AoE damage. Other than that I think he needs "some love" from the developers. He shines in early-mid game, so if they surrender by that time good for you. Move the game into later stages and your niche will be hard to find with regard to your item build and the enemy team setup/items. It's really a shame but during free week most people have no idea how to play him and end up destroying your teams morale which I think is essential for a good teamplay game and a victory. To sum up, pick him, go solo top, play aggressive (don't overextend) and build your item accordingly. However be warned; you can either have tons of dama...fun or rage at your own failure.
