Honestly, right now, I would discourage you from buying Ludens as anything but your very last item. Its expensive, the boost it gives you isnt too great (you can rarely use it thanks to the long recharge rate, and even if you do its not that amazing), and it delays your core items, those being zhonyas, rabadons and void staff.

Id say the choice is wether you buy HG first (its a cheap, very effective item that spikes you a bit and doesnt delay too much, unlike Ludens), or if you go for Zhonyas first item.
