I, personally, would find the other anon's route too slow and limiting, some matches would end, following that build, before you even started to itemise damage, or you'd be pushed out of your lane. I'd say watch what skills your opponent is using and when, if they're on cooldown poke with q and or e (if they're the kind of opponent that can be harassed). Also, try to keep you cs up, it's hard as a squishy melee but if you don't you'll just fall behind (unless you're expecting to gank or benefit from ganks). I get tanky runes so I can occasionally last hit with my auto-attack, buy pretty much straight into damage (Doran's, first boots, blasting wand into Rabaddon's) and try not to let opponents think they can walk all over me (by trading with q when I don't use it for last hitting). The best thing you can do though is join fights where the numbers are in your favour and try to get the kills. Also, focus on mages or casters since you'll resist magic damage better than physical and your silence shuts down the use of abilities (assassins focus squishies, Kass focuses mages).
