User blog comment:Lacounty/First major damage items?/@comment-180677-20141024185720

I like to go top and mid lane as well as occassionally jungle.

In jungle, it depens on the whole team's performance. If needed i go more tanky without much damage. Else, I like some utility or assassin build if I can afford it.

In midlane, i prefer to go a bit tanky as well as competent players focus you down with at least 2 jumping abilites as soon as you're spotted. Hard to survive if Zhonya's not finished yet. (Though, "competent" is very relative)

In toplane, it's a bit tricky. If the enemy uses burst, I try to farm up Health, defense and sustain.

However, if the enemy decides to go ham but gets outdueled, I focus on health and damage to reverse pressure.

Fact: The key is building an early counter item and some sustain, if trades don't turn out that deadly or need to be extended.
