Whatever you do, do NOT listen to that DShiv6Man guy - not heard that amount of crap in a while.

I haven't had any issues with him at all, lately. In fact, I'd say his early game was buffed quite a bit(went 27/9 recently, yes, in ranked...). The only real "nerf" was the removal of his ability to Spike-Leap - which feels incredibly cluncky now.

What you need to understand is how this change changed his playstyle - you can no longer sit back and poke people down, '''but you don't have to! If you level up Q early on and evolve it as soon as you hit 6 you will absolutely decimate anything in mid. '''Mid champs just cannot take that kind of punishment. If you manage to land 2 Q's (especially if they're isolated) there's no way your opponent will be able to trade with you. Just go all in whenever you have the chance to do so (and if you know you won't get ganked by the enemy jungler, of course).

Build wise, fuck attack speed - the guy above has no idea what he's talking about. Spellblade is terrible as well, he doesn't need it. Buying that would be a horrible waste of his amazing AD scalings.

Start with a Tear and a Brutilizer/Maw of Malmortious(if they have lots of AP), into a Muramana, somewhat early on. This will net you the early-game damage you need as well as the mana. Look at the enemy items - if you see them stacking armor already, rush a Last Whisper. If not, Bloodthirster. Either way, you'll need both. At this point, it's pretty much up to you to either finish the Black Cleaver or buy a defensive item like GA, Randuin's, or Warmogs.

Finished build should be something like this:

Boots of choice - Manamune/Muramana - Black Cleaver/Maw - Bloodthirster - Last Whisper - GA/Warmogs/Randuin's

Pretty much the standard AD-assassin build. Nothing's changed here.

Overall, if they revert the change on Spike-Leap, this could DEFINITELY be considered a buff. His single target damage has been buffed ridiculously hard, giving him much more lane-presence than he ever had.
