optimal build:

boots +3

sorc shoes

lucky pick

sheen

death cap or lich bane (you should get both but you can put off death cap to maybe even your 5th item because with tf utility>>>>>>dmg)

zhonya or dfg (you should get both if you have enough gold). zhonya grants you 100AP, which synergizes greatly with deathcap, and a healthy amt of armor

you probably won't ever get to the sixth item, but if you do, you can choose between rylai's or gunblade. since i rarely get to this stage, i have no valid opinion on which 6th item is better

do not build doran's rings. they are useless items to waste gold with.

i run the standard 21/0/9 masteries with extra ms and improved recall in the utility tree

i run MS quints because you cannot buy MS easily. mpen marks, ap/lvl glyphs and seals. honestly, getting defensive runes is a waste. TF is already so squishy, that small amount of armor/health/magic resist from runes isn't going to help you. play smart, play safe to survive.

in team fights, your job is not to deal dmg, it is to stun a target to either A. focus them, or B. what most people don't understand: take an enemy out of the equation for 2 seconds. if i stun the tank, do not focus him. go kill someone else. another example: i see xin zhao coming in. he's about to use his EWQ combo to disrupt my team. i stun him, so he can't do his combo. at this point, my team should be looking to kill enemy squishies, not xin zhao unless he's completely out of position.

in the laning phase, push your lane, then go gank. use your ult to gank, but beware, it eats up like 55% of your max mana. since i have so much extra MS, i can run much faster than the standard tf, so i don't need to ult to gank effectively
