This guide gives you everything you need to win any game. Assuming you know how to move in the game you'll be able to power through anything. Here are just a few notes to keep in mind:

1. Maelstorm and Crystalis should be built based on need. IF the enemy is pushing hard you'll want more power first. If you need crowd control, go with Maelstorm.

2. Always follow #1 with Mask of Madness. If you completed Maelstorm first, follow with MOM, and finish with whatever you didn't build first.

3. Fight till the end. With this build you can single-handedly win the game so don't give up.

All situational items are based on game progression, and have notes below to tell you what to do in any situation. DO NOT GIVE UP! If you lose all of your out towers, or you even have a player disconnect DO NOT GIVE UP! Just keep your wits about you, and be prepared to push when you wipe the other team out entirely.

Additional note; yes you're starting out with very little, but you'll be happy in the end. You'll need speed first to last hit and deny. Doing that will give you enough gold to follow up with boots. Just make sure not to push too hard.
