Well, you're entitled to your opinion, but I disagree with a lot of what you've said.

Rod of Ages -v- AAS is something I addressed in the situational items section; I prefer to have the additional mana and AP early on, but if you prefer RoA it's just as good. Either-or. The main reason I don't get it is because you can start with a tear and then build Rod later; building Rod first and tear later is not really viable. One-way street.

Regarding boots : I see a lot of people saying you have to start with boots to dodge skillshots. I generally don't start boots, and yet I don't have trouble dodging most skillshots; the only champion I've encountered that I can't dodge boots-less is Xerath. If you need boots to dodge, feel free... Personally, I don't feel I need them.

Morello's crap for its cost? Not a chance. 20% CDR, 80 AP, good mana regen (bearing in mind you're not building tear so you have 0 additional mana regen with your build) AND a healing reduction, for 2.5k... that's not overpriced. Particularly when you factor in an early Kage's knocking several hundred gold off that.

When you go saying something's bad for the cost, and then offer single-use five minute elixirs as an alternative, I start to worry. Yes, blue buff can fill in for Morello's and Tear, but blue buff isn't always an option. It doesn't have 100% uptime (unless you're getting BOTH blues), you don't always have full control of jungle, and your jungler could be using that blue too. Even if he doesn't 'need' it, it'll speed up his clearance time and improve his ganks.

If you don't like Morello's, that's your choice; Personally, I consider CDR key on AP Ez, and I feel that any period where you don't have full CDR you're losing a lot of potential. That said, I find a lot of people who say Morello's is bad don't know how to use the active or forget that it's there constantly... With Morello's, you get to use your ignite as an additional damage spell even if the enemy team has a Soraka or Mundo. That's worth a lot too.
