Rammus, The Greatest Tank Ever

          Rammus is a tank with a really unique passive. It lets him convert a percentage of his armor into attack damage, so you want to focus on building armor. This of course depends on how the enemy team is built. If the AP toons are fed and doing a lot of damage, build magic resist and health. Otherwise, build Ninja Tabi, Thornmail, Sunfire Cape, Warmog's Armor, Spirit Visage, and Guardian Angel. Like I said, if you get into trouble against ap, rush Spirit Visage and Guardian Angel. Use this build to absolutely demolish anyone attacking you.

Darius! MASTER OF KS!

          Darius is a top lane bruiser, and he is notorious for kill stealing and also being insanely overpowered. Building bruisers is very easy, but you have to do it according to the enemy team. With Darius, Ravenous Hydra is a must have. If you don't have enough lifesteal, you could get a Bloodthirster. You could also get an Infinity Edge for when you want to be able to crit. Since Darius is a bruiser, You are generally going to want to get 2 defensive items. I would get 1 armor/health item (Randuin's Omen), and if there is more than 1 ap character on the enemy team, get spirit visage as well. Find out who is dealing the most damage to decide on what boots to get.

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.
