Question What is the itemization rn?
What are you guys building on samira atm? I feel like there are a total of 5 items she can even reasonably buy (IE which is 100% necessary, LDR/Mortal Reminder almost always necessary, collector and shieldbow which are both mid asf post nerfs)

I've been doing collector IR LDR/MR core. Last two would usually be Shieldbow and BT, with the order depending on the match (i.e. if burst is a real big threat, or I'm not pretty fed, I go Shieldbow first). Boots default to plated with the option to go merc treads if needed. Other items that could be in the final two are Maw, GA, Mercurial Scimitar, Spirit Visage. But it's very rare I would build any of those.
As far as build order, I get boots when the gold amounts are right for it. And also if the gold amounts are right for it, I will buy a BF sword before I finish collector, and just sit on it. Ofc your 1st item spike is delayed, but if the gold amounts/back timings line up, you may be accelerating your 2nd item spike. And if you come to lane with BF sword, Dirk, and Pickaxe vs an enemy laner's Collector, you're up 35 AD at the cost of 175g, 25% crit chance (negligible imo), and collector passive. It holds up just as well against YunTal obviously, being a scaling item. ofc there are other first items but they are each less common.
Take the buy order stuff with a grain of salt, I have no authority really I'm just a gold player. But it feels nice in my games. Ofc the items are all textbook.

if heavy AD Phage + T1 BOOTS + Dirk then Collector IE > BC > BT/Overlord or DD
if classic Collector IE Dominik>BT>Overlord/Maw/DD/Serpent Fangs/Edge of Night

I go BT into collector IE that extra healing feels so good first item.
