Hey Cartridge,

What mode is this for? You've picked what is typically a jungler's starter, which means if you're playing in ADC (where he typically is played), you're potentially getting a bit less out of it than if you chose a standard ADC starter.

Other thoughts:
  • Unless you're in a longer mode like Conquest, I don't know that I feel Stormseeker is a worthwhile pickup. Not saying it can't be, but I think there are some items that might be better to pick up.

  • Getting Silverbranch Bow as 2nd main item is probably not optimal. You only get the passive function once you've gone past the max 2.5 AS, which will take a while since Cern also doesn't have his own passive AS steroid. I would delay this item until a bit later. It IS nice as it has good base AS and some pen, but still would suggest delaying.

  • Qin's Sais is fine, and while it makes sense in your current setup, I think you'd be better served by getting The Executioner in Silver's place, and then getting Qin's in its current place.

  • Speaking of, you don't have any lifesteal. That's fine if you're using Spring stance regularly, or if you're playing a teamfight mode, but you might still want it (Devo's or Asi probably) as Conq ADC.

  • Dominance doesn't provide pen function for the Qin's passive. It's great for crit builds. You might drop this one.

  • Hydra's Lament is an interesting choice and could be functional but is definitely not a standard choice for a normal basic attack build. I'm fine with you going with this as a non-AS item...again, at a certain point, if the game goes on long enough, you might cap out Silverbranch due to Storm stacks, so less AS is not bad here.
In any case, I typically don't like Stormseeker though it may just be me. I'd get Exe over Dom for a Qin's build, and I'd delay Silver until you're actually at a point where you'll overcap. And depending on game mode, I'd consider adding lifesteal.
