I absolutely detest RoA. I feel like it takes too long to build up unless you rush Catalyst and that is money better spent on other, more useful items. This is more of a personal bias though, if RoA works for you then go for it.

The early game core is 2-3 Doran's rings, upgraded boots and (usually) Death Augment. Then you can pretty much build whatever but ideally you want to round out your core with Rylai's and Deathcap. Don't max Q first ever, max E first unless you want to look like a total nooblord and do no damage in fights.

As far as tips go, don't attempt to land your W offensively and instead save it as a zoning or counter-initiation tool or to supplement allied cc. Remember that you can move after you use your E, so don't stand still! Also, don't try to harrass in lane with Q after level's 1 - 2 as the Q range is short and there is a shield return time so you will prolly lose most exchanges after that. Finally, IF U ARE ABOUT TO DIE IN A TEAMFIGHT DON'T FORGET TO USE YOUR ULTI. I know this seems self-explanatory but a lot of people tend to want to save their ult for that "perfect moment" only to get bursted down and die before they can use it. There are many times where I have gotten focused down instantly, only to get a double kill from beyond the grave because the enemy team decided to teamfight in my ult.
