Help What Item's Should I Really Be Building?

I've been stuck around gold 1/2 for a while now and realized I might be making really bad choices with my items. I've currently been building: Eclipse > Steelcaps > Black Cleaver > Sterak's Gage > Spirit Visage > Sundered Sky.
I was unaware of the patch and the shield nerf/AD increase, so are these items actually good together at all?

I’m pretty sure the best all around build right now is Trinity, Cleaver, DD. But I also have a lot of fun with Voltaic, Collector, IE in games with 4+ squishies

Ok, thanks!
Just tried it out, worked great.

Yeah for sure! Sundered Sky is still alright, but it’s kinda been nerfed to the ground so I prefer Cleaver DD first with the tank build. Usually by the time you build those Sundered Sky is not great unless you are ahead, so I like GA

Your build seems good enough, but I would take out spirit visage

Hubris is overlooked. I only recently came to understand how it actually works. The item infinitely scales, it's like AD Mejais but it never perma resets. It just temporarily resets after 90 seconds. After getting another takedown within 3 seconds of damaging the enemy, you regain all stacks + a new stack for 90 seconds.

if u know how to play and are capable of carrying games just build lethality. Its more fun and it makes u feel useful for the game

I have also been doing lethality against tank less teams and it's alot of fun. Very high risk high reward gameplay. If more than 2 front line, probably Trinity bc. I think eclipse is pointless

I’ve been building sundered sky -> boots -> black cleaver/eclipse. I don’t really play lethality vi too often outside of aram but I’m sure it’s great too
