This is for Duo lane Hunter build.
tested it a few times and seems to work nicely.
this is also my first guide so be gentle, but i appreciate constructive criticism
-Caziuz.
to start off with I recommend using the following items based on attack speed, lifesteal and in general kill quick:
First is...
Qin's Blades due to the attack speed and the 4% extra damage on gods. that extra damage is based on the gods max health which also makes this item good for tank killing even from start of the game.
I choose Asi as the second cos of lifesteal and attack speed and penetration. the early lifesteal might not seem like much, but when killing small adds in the laning phase it will regenrate you slowly, but steady and ofcourse as you do more damage you will get more health.
Heartseeker gives you the little extra movement speed instead of the boots plus power and stacks. "i find boots too expensive for the benefit" if you play other versions
Heartseeker might not be available so you could go for another item that gives movement and attack power.
Heartseeker can stack for more power, but you loose half your stacks upon death so if you die alot this is not a great item to use and
Warrior Tabi might be the choice for you instead.
The Executioner have its uses for penetrating that armor. Armor penetration is needed to keep up a decent amount of damage going through, if you do not get this item you might aswell just poke the tanks with a twig.
Deathbringer is ofcourse a must due to the extra crit, i choose to take it late cos when you have the 4 first items you are able to survive better to earn the cash and get the
Deathbringer quick. The crit is important more at late game than early game and with this item you will start being the beast of love, you do not want to miss this item or the crit plus crit damage it can provide.
Soul Eater will help you eat them souls = Lifesteal and continue killing. This item gives you a little extra health pool and more attack speed aswell as the lifesteal. Futhermore it also provides an aura for your team, more power and lifesteal for those close to you.
About my active choice i usually go with Blink and Meditation and upgrade them when i get a chance to do it. you will want the Combat Blink so you can escape most instantly and while in combat.
The Purification Beads are very useful against Gods like
Ares to escape those chains. Meditation is always good for that extra mana you can pull out of it plus a lifesaving heal at times.
so i would go with Meditation no matter what and then switch between Purification Beads and Blink as needed.
I selected to skill up the Heart Bomb first due to the extra damage it can pull off even in early game plus stun if your maxed on your basic skill "hit enemies 10 times" should that happen the get a 1 sec stun, can be crucial to finish off that God in a fight for you or a teammate. You will want to pop it at the start of a combat to interrupt him/her during the fight.
Share The Love. is maxed second and is also my second skill choice, the little hearts gives you health "yes really" and it also returns mana to you if an ally picks one up so in general its a win/win situation for you and your team.
Flutter. one of the best escape or pursute skills in the game, it is the third choice while leveling up from level 1, it is however also last to be maxed, you only need 1 point in it to move very fast, but it also grants you attack speed for 6 seconds after use, if you feel comfortable using that over the hearts i will not stop you, attack speed s always useful.
Fields Of Love. a massive area is covered when using this skill, people caught inside it will be stunned for 2.5 seconds when it goes pop, until then they move 35% slower, a really strong ultimate and useful for not only attack but also defense and to save your team members from being slaughtered. It will be good to use this skill in major combat situations, when people are clustered up, or to catch offguard people not aware of your presence.
Pros.
Strong survivability in 1vs1.
able to solo titan late game.
able to dodge most sneaks.
Strong late game.
Cons.
You are squishie as hell. "be aware of Loki and other jumpers, flyers and the likes"
If you play this without any skill knowledge of Cupid you might die alot in the beginning.
Weak startup so play carefully.

cos they are not faster than you, Flutter makes up for that and you kill them faster than they can run anyways, you have 2 stuns used correctly aswell, plus maybe your combat blink... and if one escapes out of 20 so be it... heartseeker makes up for the speed, your not slower as such... test it and see for yourself.

As I've said before,
To add one more thing: having one crit item is just a no-no. A combination of

BTW I tested the build. I almost always do. Also, you don't get 2 stuns, you get one stun, before your passive empties.
Build
Since this appears to be a build-only guide, and you don't seem to have put any gameplay, I'll judge on the build.
Firstly,
You lack mobility items. Your only crit item is
And the thing is, you don't give adequate reasons for picking the items, either. For example, why not replace
i will be testing out
Regarding your item build:
The lack of any version of Tabi is what confuses me, as all ADCs should have a Tabi; mainly
That's all I have to say! It's best if you re-do the guide, and put some more time/effort into it.
