TF Blade's setup

When I first saw his runes and stuff I was like wtf is this guy doing. Then I decided to try it, and I gotta admit that what he's doing is pretty smart. From 6 games with his setup I'm on 5:1 score, and that one lost game I was fed, but we throw that game hard.

He have several different builds with same core items, and my favourite is for sure this one: Zhonya's - Gunblade - Liandry's - Rylai's - Spirit - Mercs. This is a pretty clever build combined with his runes.

At full build with runes and lvl 18 he have 1.15 attack speed, which makes Akali feel so smooth. He aslo have 140 armor, 133 magic resist, 3083 HP, 350 AP. Magic pen is 23 flat, and since adc's have little to no MR these days, they die really fast. With this build you are able to kill squishy target fast, and on the other hand you can aslo shred tanks.

Also there is survivability with Zhonya's, healing from Spirit and big health pool. Tenacity from boots, slows from Rylai's. There is 20% cdr, which puts Akali's Q on 3.2 seconds, her E on 2.4 seconds and her R on 1.6 seconds. Utilitywise very nice and clean.

Early laning phase is just wow. I was able to beat Fiora and Irelia pretty hard early, and I was never able to do that. Also after Q+W+AA you can just run next to them and AA like a mad man thanks to extra attack speed. In team fights when you go in, HP pool, Spirit and extra tenacity allows you to do 2 rotations before you Zhonya's, back off or use your W. Also teleport, I was able to pick up 4-5 kills thanks to teleport during the game.

From 6 games where I was trying this, I played against Cho, Irelia, Fiora, Malphite, Riven, Jarvan. I was able to dominate the lane, take tower first and snowball my team with roams or lane swaps.

I gotta say at first I was like, this dude is trolling, he is just very good player, and runes have nothing to do with that. But when I tried it, felt really good. And I would recommend this anytime. It's very good overall. Good early, very strong mid game, and nice late game.
