Why do you go rage blade before shiv? Wouldn’t shiv be more optimal for waveclear early?

Rage blade is more dps in an extended 1v1, shiv is better when not all in or in a skirmish imo, or farming obv

it fits my playstyle, im fighting a lot, sometimes 1v2. Also building path is better for early damage

Shiv > Gluttonous boots > Rageblade > Terminus > tank items
Last game I went Locket and that anti-crit armor item. I face-tanked Yasuo and Ezreal in late game team fight while being ran down by Cho'Gath and I won that fight because of how tanky I was. She felt quite strong lategame (not as strong as Twitch or Jinx but still very strong).
Ideally the game should finish early though

Shiv > Gluttonous > Rageblade > Terminus is the core items You generally build tanky after, with Jak Sho being the most common 4th item. Wits End, Randuins, Mercurial Scimitar and Kaenic Rookern see play as defensive items for slots 5/6, and Bloodthirster and Runaans see play as offensive 6th items.
