um..... It's different in cases where there is no jungler and mid is AD, so I don't know what circumstances you're playing with but from my experience with AD carry/Support Bot, a mobile AP mid, a top with teleport, and a jungler if they pink the brush and you don't pink to remove it, then you can't go past river anymore because anytime you could get raped from the brush without vision. Whoever has more wards wins bot lane, unless jungler are incompetent or if there is a gold gap more than 1k gold. You can't be aggressive anymore + the fact that they can be = free lose lane.

EDIT: also the fact that the person with first hit wins encounters if there is no overwhelming advantage, so you can lose a lot of encounters by having to facecheck even if jungle does not gank bot.
EDIT2: I would recommend buying boots or pink wards if you get a kill early, because basic boots increases your speed by like 20%, and if you move faster you can escape from ganks easier allowing you to be more aggressive and zone harder, and pink wards deny vision, so while you may not actually have "real" pressure, there is a fake pressure from the simple possibility that the jungler could be the brush, for example, if the enemy does not have CV and you know that they have not warded one of the brushes, they cannot get even close to EXP range until they ward the brush again, and then in that case you can just kill it again with your pink.
Overall my point is, buying philo for faster shurelias is useless at 4 minutes because you won't even need shurelias until like 20 minutes and the gold gain from philo is negligible. The only time I would buy gp5 items is when there is absolutely no kill potential (games with soraka in them ) or when waves are constantly pushed to our tower and we have absolutely no pressure, and are completely focused on farming.

Testing Jungle Shen at the moment on PBE. I just haphazardly threw together some masteries and used an AD Quint/Mark Armor Seal MR Glyph page. He barely dropped below full health, even against buff camps. Didn't have to use any of my potions on my Boots + 3 pots opening.

So I decided to go crazy and bought health per level seals/quints and went back with a build based almost entirely on maxing health. Started with a Ruby Crystal for laughs. It worked, stupidly well. His clear speed isn't the best but he was really pretty safe and secure all the way through.

Don't ever build revolver on Ahri. She doesn't die because of sustain, she dies because of large burst and single target stuns. Your passive sustains you well enough already, there's almost no point to getting WotA over rod/rylais/deathcap early and mid-late you want your abyssal/void staff more than you want spell vamp. I've been shitting ALL OVER Ahris that open hextech at any point during lane phase in norms. I don't know if it's because I'm a boss Ahri or because their builds are terrible, but I'm pretty sure the revolver items are bad on her. Honestly she's a great champion for laning because if you understand some of the more advanced concepts it's very simple to gain a 2-4 level advantage over someone mid. I feel like I really understand the game better after playing her ~5 times just because something clicked about how to force someone out of lane at crucial points and snowball it into a massive advantage.
