Tips with Leblanc building? (BOTH Morell and Athene's?)

So I have been maining Leblanc for about a month now and throughout this time period I have had problems with her cooldown and mana costs being overwhelmingly high.

To tackle this issue I usually rush an item 3174 first, then directly after purchase a item 3165 because her cooldowns are reduced to around 6 seconds for each spell, and I very very rarely run out of mana (or even low on mana).

However, when I do this I give up her bursty damage and I suddenly feel more like a support getting +10 assists but hardly any real kills.

After building this for so long I feel like it is good for my cooldowns and mana regen, but its killing the assassin aspect of her.

I ask this to you out there (hoping there are very many Leblanc Mains out there!), what do I build that would be most efficient in mana and cooldown reduction while keeping her strong and scary!

Full Build Currently: item 3174 item 3165 item 3089 item 3020 item 3285 item 3135 or item 3157

I wouldn't say I'm a LeBlanc main, but I do player her a bit. Anyways, you should first prioritize on that Morellonomicon. Next of course pick up your boots: Sorcerer's shoes. So far your build is good. However, I advise, instead of Athene's you should get Abyssal Scepter. It gives quite a bit of ability power and some magic resist to deal with the enemy's APCs at the end. Next, based on personal preference or how good you're doing, go for the Rabadon's Deathcap or the Void Staff. They are both pretty good, and your final two options, like you have there, are Luden's and Zhonya's. I'll just make a list of every item I find strong on Leblanc:

Core Items - MUST HAVE item 3165 item 3020

Situational Items - Pick 4 you Like item 3001 item 3089 item 3174 item 3285 item 3135 item 3116 item 3157

Remember to Pick Up!!! item 2044 item 2043 item 2139

Ok, never get an athenes on leblanc, whether or against AD or AP, always get morellos first. Heres the build order for leblanc that I go, that provides maximum burst and utility from items. item 3165 > item 3285 >item 3157 OR item 3089 depending on their team/your opponent. Then get the item that you didn't get from the zhonyas/rabaddons option. Finish it off with a item 3135 . Make sure to finish your sorcerers in there somewhere too So your final build will be : item 3165 item 3285 item 3089 item 3157 item 3135 item 3020
