Build pathing

Hello fellow Zeri enjoyers!

I recently picked back up Zeri again and have a blast with it. Picked her back up because I was noticing I was just trying to meta slave and didn't enjoy it and it wasn't working since I dropped back to gold 1 and even 2. So I now I just kinda play for fun again. (15W/5L with Zeri last 20 games, and plat 3 again! =D)

But now I want to actually try to improve on the champ, and where I see a lot of tips in this subs which helps tremendously, I have a question of build paths (Perhaps question for adc as a whole). I'm mostly rushing: Stormrazor > Fiendhunter > I.E > Runaans > Optional (Where I notice I mostly build LDR). But when should I differ from this core build? I try to sometimes build LDR first instead of I.E if the enemy team has a lot of tanks, but it seems I lack damage that way.

So a couple of questions:
-When do you differ from core builds (Should you even differ from these)?
-If you play against heavy mage teams, do you itemize for it, can you build a defensive MR items or is that troll?
-Do you guys run other (maybe whole core) items, against different teams?
- Against heavy tanks, is it worth it to switch I.E for LDR, and do you guys build I.E than after runaans in that situation?

edit and FYI: I only build the Lifesteal boots, do I need to change that up in certain situations?
