Miss Fortune, The Bounty Hunter

          Miss Fortune is probably my second favorite carry. She has this habit of flirting with the summoner (You) quite a bit. Her ult has a lot of killing power, especially in a teamfight with everyone else's health getting low. She has a passive AP damage bonus, but for some reason she still can't be ap carried. I think her ap scaling got nerfed. Anyways, the build starts out with the doran's blade in the beginning. Then the vampiric scepter, Berserker's Greaves, The Bloodthirster, Zeal, Phantom Dancer, Blade of the Ruined King, Phage, Infinity Edge, Frozen Mallet. If you keep almost getting kills but they get away, you may want to rush Frozen Mallet. It has a slowing passive that helps in a chase. Miss Fortune does a lot of damage late game, but is very squishy. Never try to clean up more than 2 kills if you are the only one left, even if they have low health. As always, GL and HF.

Karthus

          I tried out Karthus today, and he is pretty good. He doesn't really have much killing power if you are against someone with better range, but his ult really helps the whole team. Now start with Crystalline flask and 3 pots for lane sustain. Buy Sorcerer's shoes, Hextech Revolver, and Tear of the Goddess next. If you want you don't have to buy the Hextech Revolver, as you will be selling it later. I like it because of the spell vamp however. Karthus's Q is like a basic attack, too, so you will be healing a lot from that. Then buy Archangle's Staff, Zhonya's Hourglass, Rabadon's Deathcap, Rylai's Crystal Scepter, and Deathfire Grasp. Like I said, he doesn't have too much killing power until his build is pretty far along, so you are going to have to stay alive the whole time. If you die you will lose the edge that you need later in the game.

Maokai, the... Uh... Tree guy maybe?

          Sorry about the title, I don't know his tagline. Anyways, Maokai is a Tank/AP bruiser that can go top lane or mid. He can also jungle. This build however is not for jungling! You can start by grabbing a crystalline flask and 3 pots. Buy in this order, it is the best. Mercury's Treads, Randuin's Omen, Spirit Visage, Warmog's Armor, Frozen Heart, Banshee's veil. If they are punishing you with AP you can rush Banshee's Veil, but other than that, this is a good order. I will TRY to start doing jungle builds, but I need to practice jungling for a while first.

AP Tank Leona

          This build is going to be for an AP tank Leona. Leona is a tank with AP scaling for her abilities. Her scaling is actually really good, and she also has 2 stuns to go with it. If you combine AP/defensive items with one really good defensive item, you can have a lot of damage output and still be in the middle of a teamfight soaking up damage. The build can be bought in any order you see fit, but I buy in this order: Mercury Treads, Zhonya's Hourglass, Iceborn Gauntlet, Athene's Unholy Grail, Rylai's Crystal Scepter, Randuin's Omen. I like it in this order because I get my armor on first, and usually I am going up against bruisers on Top.

Veigar, The Tiny Master of Evil

         This is going to be a short post, but this is my build for Veigar. Veigar is a mid mage, with a lot of damage output. The only problem is that you can see his main ability coming a mile away. To counter this, throw out your E stun and then use your dark matter and baleful strike to do a TON of damage. The build is as followed. Buy Crystalline Flask and 3 pots instead of Boots of Speed and pots. Then get Athene's Grail, Chain Vest, Abyssal Scepter, Sorcerer's Shoes, Deathfire Grasp, Rabadon's Deathcap, and Zhonya's hourglass. When you are deep into a game with extra money, sell your boots for a Void Staff. That is all for Veigar's build. I tried this and had around 700 AP.

Lifesteal Build Re-vamped

         So a few months ago I tried out a lifesteal build for Katarina, and it worked really well. The only problem is that they nerfed Katarina's AD scaling, so she is underpowered unless you use AP now. This lifesteal build is for Tryndamere, a melee AD carry. I would get, IN THIS ORDER, Berserker's Greaves, Ravenous Hydra, The Bloodthirster, Phantom Dancer, Blade of the Ruined King, and Randuin's omen. You could switch it out for a second Bloodthirster if you have enough attack speed but want more lifesteal and damage. The Randuin's Omen is for people who like having more resistance to burst characters, but if they don't have any, just switch it for one of the 3 exchangeable items. You will have less armor and health, but you will deal WAY more damage. If you get really far into the game and have a TON of unusable gold, sell your Greaves for a second Bloodthirster. You will do even more damage, and the passive stacks.

This build can be used for any melee AD carry. I made sure.

Kha' Zix, the Voidreaver

          Kha'zix is an AD bruiser that can go mid, top, bot, AND jungle. This makes him very versatile. Kha'zix's abilities are a claw attack for Q, a ranged skill shot for W, A jump attack for E, and a stealthed movement speed bonus in which he does extra damage (+ even more bonus damage to isolated targets). His abilities use mostly AD scaling and have a unique way of leveling up. Every point he puts into his ultimate, he can evolve 1 ability. If he chooses to evolve claws, his Q ups damage dealt to isolated targets. If he chooses to evolve spike racks, his W shoots in 3 lines instead of 1, and heals him if he is within the explosion radius. If he chooses to evolve wings, his E makes him jump much farther and does more damage. If he chooses to evolve camoflauge, his ult makes him stay stealthed for longer and he can use it a 3rd time. There are only 3 ults, so you cannot evolve all of them. I would recommend evolving spike racks 1st every time, while the other 2 are left up to your best judgement.
          For a nice bruiser build I would recommend using the Ninja Tabi or Mercury Treads (Depending on whether the enemies are AD or AP heavy), Bloodthirster, Ravenous Hydra, Atma Impaler, Mercurial Scimitar, and a Sunfire Cape. You can trade out the Atma Impaler or the Mercurial Scimitar for an Infinity Edge if the enemy is AP or AD heavy. On Thursday I would like to try out and publish an ADC build for Kha'zix. I will tell you if it worked or not. For now, here are some pictures of Kha'zix.
