This build wins games. Seriously, try it and see for yourself.

Rush a Philo Stone and a HoG. Grab boots. Now you're ready for the core build:

Merc Treads Glacial Shroud Nashor's Tooth Trinity Force Force of Nature Guinsoo's Rageblade

Obviously you have to sell your GP/10 at some point, but you're going to be doing that late enough in the game that you'll make quite a bit of money from them. Autoattack ruthlessly and spam Crystal Slash. Everyone dies and you live through all of it. Upgrade Glacial to Frozen Heart if you need the armor.
