This is a valid point, and one I failed to note. Attack speed builds are for taking down the squishies- the dps, the carries, and NOT the tanks. Whisper + bloodrazor (40% armor pen + 4% hp/shot) will help against tanks, but the AD build will be more useful against these characters. I choose not to go this route because my kills come from the easy ones. The tanks will come down during the main engages, which I plan on being there for because I choose teleport and boots of mobility. This happens to work for me, and I suggest it as a strategy especially for new twitches. Good contribution here.

i suppose this looks good on paper, but i do not find it to be true myself. midgame is usually where i shine.

i could use a little enlightenment on what you mean here, do you suggest going for infinity earlier than i suggested? it's a weapon i would LOVE to have ASAP, but i find a quick zeal or sotd is easier to pop in and out of the shop with and thus spend more time feeding with superior weapons- rather than waddling around with a long sword and thousands more gold to go at level 11. however, i can not disagree that such a build will rip ALL champs up at that stage. perhaps my build is just suited more to late-game ganks than yours.
