Hello, I decided to make a small little build as I want people to be able to play as this character and have fun, but at the same time be OP. Hope you enjoy the 3 builds shown for you.
This is a combination of various Loki builds I've found to be good even after the upcoming nerf on Loki. Keep in mind most of these builds are for mid or late game, early game is a rough start since gold will be a problem, but for getting runaway kills early game this build is good aswell. These builds excel in crits and dmg output which I wanted to do so you can be the Trickster Loki you've always wanted to be. These builds are extraordinary in every game mode but might take slower or faster starts depending on how you play in the beginning. I'm hoping you already know how Loki's playstyle is and what he does, plus his combos.

I don't like masamune or soul eater on him (personal preference). Also, take another look at your skill leveling order.
Masamune is not worth on Loki.
His optimal function in S5 was being able to backline enemy squishies and 100-0 them, or split push/hard push lanes in Conq.
In S6, I see Masa being a possible item for him, at some point in the build. Since he can't 100-0 anymore, he's gotta wait for enemies to be lower in health before attempting a straight up kill. That means, if he did his normal thing (waiting in the shadows), there's more time where he'll be sitting and doing nothing to wait for that opportunity. That helps out the team 0%.
Thus, perhaps he'll need to take more risks by using up his
I'll give them a chance to respond to the following:
GoodNight: crits really aren't suggested for Loki. Yes, it can function pretty well if you have time to basic attack consecutively, especially from behind, getting the
1 / .5 / .5 / .5 / 1.5x
That is his attack progression.
With this build, you're looking to do most of your damage with basic attack crits. See all those 0.5 values in the middle (3 of them)? Those are attack multipliers. Whatever base damage you have, you're going to cut that in half. Crits? The bonus damage gets cut in half too, so they're way weaker than on a god that has progression of 1 or higher (e.g. hunters, who have a straight progression of 1, for example).
Further to this, S6, coming in a week or two, is further nerfing his progression. That first 1 is turning into 0.75. So even your first attack attempt, IF it crits, will also have a reduced multiplier.
You might have good success here and there, but this is not a suggested build, and you'll never see higher level players building like this. I get the concept, it's just not a great one. I will give you that at least you have some pen included in the build, which is saying a lot compared to a lot of troll Loki builds.
To prove my meme point, here's a video by that SoloDoubleJackass guy that proves it:
Anyway, I've downvoted your guide. If you remove all crit and AS items, I'll revise my vote.
