Pure glass-cannon AD malz is not viable IMO.

However, tanky-AD malz is very strong early-mid and very decent mid-late. Something like ionian, Manamune, BT, Frozen Heart, Banshee's Veil. With 40% CDR and a manapool of that size you can spam your spells to keep 2-3 voidlings out all the time; you have some very nice CC for a tank with your AoE silence and supression; and you litterally deal crit-level damage with you voidlings out since you technically AA three times. The base damage of your spells are nothing to spit at either. Since you are so tanky you have enough time to DPS everyone.

Weak against AoE burst teamcomps because the voidlings die too fast, but very effective against anything that relies on assassins or bruisers.
