Hi, since you wanted to know about my MF build, I will tell you here since having just pointlessly long comment chain on my post would be pointless. I start with doran blade and health potion, buying BF on first back if possible, else vampiric scepter(and T1 boots). I am buying Essence reaver as my first big item since:

1. Its cheapest out of big AD(80) items. It gives me nice AD and lifesteal and allows me to start second item fast.

2. I often use E to zone-slow enemies. I am maxing E second, so I need mana sustain.

3. It gives 10% cdr, which is really important. This allows more Q spam.

As second item, I am building black cleaver. While this seems not that good, since it is item with awkward build path and not that much damage, kindlegem with both aditional tankiness and 10% more cdr is actually good purchase and phage, while not good is at least OK-ish. At this point I am no longer able to duel most equaly fed adcs, but:

1. I am cappable to survive much more abuse from tanks and assassins. Many times, people who dive me are solved by me and my team without killing me.

2. After i finish black cleaver and reach level 11, I no longer just dominate teamfights, I am teamfights.

Now, after black cleaver, I build sorcerers shoes. Why not berserks you ask? Because adc still probably has ~ 40 mr and this steroids E-R combo against them by a lot. Why not sooner? With proper passive management, I am usually ok with tier 1 boots until this point. Of course, in some cases, it is better to buy mercury treads and/or build T2 boots sooner, but generaly I am ok without T2 boots till this point.

After Sorcerers shoes, next item is Haunting guise -> Liandry tornment. This is really monsterous buy, that massively boosts damage of ultimate of make it rain, and raises your mpen to 30 so also strong boost of W. As new patch is on its way, I have to say I am really happy, as liandry is getting buffed which will raise damage of ultimate E and Q even more. And this item is already pretty strong. Also, 300 hp from it makes it even harder to kill you, making it safer to go close ranged fight (on single enemy, you cant still run into enemy team without dying).

After Liandry, getting Rylai is really good. But it is not always possible. Getting Zhonya for self defence might be more importaint. "Why Rylai?" you might ask, and answer is simple, you often need double burn in area of whole ultimate and it makes it harder to leave your ultimate. Also, more health for you.

That leaves you space for last, that is situational item (if you were forced to not build Rylai and build something else, you now might buy rylai, or depending on situation, second situational item). If you are not in need of certain situational item, you can build either zhonya (for damage and some safety) of if you seek pure damage, triforce can spike your Q damage heavily (and with 1.8 second cooldown on Q, that is really big). Other good options are Maw of Malmortius(Against scary AP assassins) and Abyssal Scepter(less safe, but 20 MR shred will make you now ignore 50 magic resist).

With all this(assuming full build with rylai and zhonya) you should have at level 18 about 270 AD (80 from Essence reaver, 40 from Black cleaver, 14 from masteries ~20 from runes [mix of flat ad and ad per level red and one ore two flat ad quints] and about 15 from first dragon), and about 280 AP (Liandry, Rylai, Zhonya, dragon 1).

To understand. Q scales with 85% AD and 35% AP. 280 AP rougly translates into 115 ad for the sake of Q. However, autoattacks and W do not scale with AP, so this translation is not good(but arcane blade mastery gives you actually 14 magic damage on hit). But important thing is that W scales with magic pen and this build offers nice amount of magic pen. Also, each wave of ultimate deals 56 more physical damage. Key factor is also burn of liandry, which makes E into quite powerful zoning/damaging tool, and AP also translates into ~220 more damage over time on make it rain.

I have been able to maintain quite high damage dealt in my games, even compared to enemy adcs, because since I am tankier, I am able to come closer to fights and dish out lot of Qs and Es. For many Miss Fortunes, when in ideal position for ultimate, they realise they are too squishy to root themselves in place due to fact that assassin is in range of them. In my case, I dont have to worry that much and when I am in good position to ult, I will be able to do it and see another day.
