PROS
Great wave clear with Decoy Insane burst damage Can create paranoia easily Incredibly easy to learn |
|
|
|
CONS
If he falls behind, he won't be coming back for a while Great players can counter him easily Not competitively viable CC ends him |
|
| Behind You! |
|
Decoy | Aimed Strike |
|
Vanish
Loki's damage will come from this ability which can add on 220 to his regular attack and slow. Abuse this when you can and always try to get a sneaky back stab with it.
Assassinate Assassinate, how fun you are to use. You basically get a free hit in from using this and can half health most squishies if used on them. Don't bother using this on tanks unless you've got a good amount of pen to your name.
| Warrior Tabi |
Need I say why? Alright then. These boots are practically the only ones you should get for Loki as he needs the extra power.
|
| Jotunn's Wrath | Simple enough, power and pen and some CDR which is quite handy. Also a good chunk of Mana to help you along the way. |
|
|
Now you're probably wondering why get this early on? Reason being is that by the time you're getting this, most people will have some defence bar ADC and Mid for obvious reasons. This will help you combat against the tanks and solo lane. |
|
|
Speaking of more power comes along this beauty which allows you to deal 30% more damage for each ability you use for 1 AA. Now with this and  Behind You! that's 50% more damage...Which is a lot! Also, CDR....'Nuff said.

With the new and improved bloodforge. This rewards Loki for what he does good at, killing. A healthy shield plus movement speed allows you to get a kill and survive the aftermath. And the lifesteal is a rather nice addition. |
|
|
Whether they've got a healer or not, this is a rather handy pick up. The pen is nice and the power is sublime and not the mention the anti-healing can really stop lifesteal and health pots. |
| Stone Cutting Sword | This nifty thing grants more movement and defence stealing. Allowing you to safely stick to more targets without having to take too much damage. |
|
|
The item most people get when playing Solo lane with Loki. Mana and Power are nice and the MP5 is just a bonus. Perfect pick up. I'd recommend picking this up after boots if you wish to use it.
|
| Masamune | Now considering this trickster doesn't have the biggest health pool, this'll allow you to shred tanks that dare decide to build health. More power for the difference in health is great and the movement speed allows you to stick like glue. |
|
|
If you're looking for a pure defence item I can only really recommend this. Not much else works for Loki and this is a relatively strong pick up, 20 magic and physical protection and giving you a max of 60 protection below half health and 60 power above half health.

TIP #1: Towers? What are those?
As Loki, towers are nothing compare to you. You can annihilate them with a single wave and safely get out if need be. Split push whenever you have nothing to do as you can get away with it most times.
TIP #2: Cleanup Crew, coming through!
You're an assassin, not a warrior. Never initiate and always act as cleanup crew. Get the stragglers or the ones that have half health and are at the back of the group. Don't waste your ult though if you know you're Vanish + Aimed Strike will kill them.
TIP #3: Paranoid much?
Don't be predictable with your combos, most people will predict and use Purification and Sanctuary to counter you. Simply use Vanish and act as if you're walking towards them, you can get them to waste abilities or even relics which is awesome.
Playing Loki is rather easy, but mastering him can take a good while. Play like a trickster and bait people's relics and you may just get rewarded with a nice juicy back.
As always, my name is Sodsboy and Happy Hunting.

P.S After the last update I have build bloodforge in ranked too with my build, well it works well, yet I think it's for some hunters like Ah Muzen Cab to survive.

I am not sure, I found that item very entertaining since, I used to build SCS as the last item, replacing it with Bloodforge and using Brawler's instead of Hydra's wasn't a bad idea in general. Yet I prefer to not use it.

You will trade few power for that passive, but you may have some mana issues during the game I guess.

That doesn't make sense.

That's what I tell you, you lose a lot of Pen/Power, and in order to fill it up you need to leave one pen item as it is, that's why you need to replace Hydra's, yet it's very playable without that much pen, I like the idea of buying

I think of it as more of a snowball item, if your snowballing, go ahead and pick it up, if not, then dont.

@gibzy They're recommendations, take them as you will but that's what I suggest.
Speaking of which,
You should not use your decoy to get damage on a god, he can just leave the radius, However, using it to distract the minions while you ult and assassinate a target is a good option.
Your also lacking reasons as to why you chose your items.
And also, You don't mention how to play with him in teamfights.
