I am kind of over how spell vamp isnt even available. But yet lifesteal is so available to basically every ad champion. "But ap gives higher burst" Have you ever been one shot by an ad champion? I know i have,
ModWulf Helhammer1 votesAD has lifesteal and some minimal specific defensive items (that also offer offensive stats)
AP has about 6 different items that gives tankiness and defense while also bolstering offensive power.
Succubús GF1 votesSo Hexdrinker, Maw? QSS, how many items offer mr? And how many give you bonus stats as well? How many AD items offer lifesteal? How many items have spellvamp. Ill give you a hint, it was just one, but they removed it

Whoo one whole extra item for AP champs.
Anyway, apples and oranges. Most AP champs are all about burst. You do your rotation, and if things aren't dead you're then a punching bag for 5-10 seconds until you can do more damage. AD does constant, consistent damage from auto attacks (in addition to their skills).
That's not to say I think lifesteal is that overpowered. It's really only broken on a few champions at the moment such as Graves and Kog'Maw.
majulito1 votesyou forgot deaths dance. allows you to vamp off physical spells while turning some of the damage you take into a dot so you can try to heal before it kills you.
FallenAngel161 votesits possible to go full AP with 1 defensive item (warmogs) and your warmogs passive functions as lifesteal once you stop being hit and you get out of trouble
warmogs, rylais, rod of ages, liandrys, void staff, boots (sell later for ludens or zzrot)
bang. huge AP damage with tons of health and a garen passive on your mage of choice
add in 30% CDR blues/quints if you want CDR.
Succubús GF2 votesBut that hinders damage, it hinders it by a lot
