In the "Item Justification" section you put the image of Cristalys where should be the Armlet.
Overall, good guide, +1.

The guide itself looks nice, but it's pretty outdated: without a you won't have enough regen to farm with your if an aggressive mid laner (, , ...) zones you out; the costs too much for what it gives since you aren't an AGI Hero and don't benefit from the bonus AGI.

Thanks for the feedback. I will update this guide asap. Most probably after I reach home

EDIT: I edited the item build. The word section would be edited later since I can't do it on my phone
