Half finished zeal items
League of Legends Match History
Why do all the pro ad carrys right now build a zeal and then build 1 or 2 items? I have no idea why and I'm very curious at why and if i can apply it in my own play.
Pls help

Because generally you want parts of a complete item unless you absolutely have to rush something for it/you to be effective. Damage Component, Zeal, Finished Damage Item (with maybe a Life Steal item in there somewhere if you don't go Thirster and like having it) is much more effective than rushing either a Damage Item or a completed Zeal item. Early game you need both damage and attack speed to be effective, but you don't need high amounts of either right away since HP is relatively low at this stage. Focusing too hard on one, but neglecting the other, makes doing your job much more difficult.
For instance, it doesn't matter how hard you hit when you can only hit someone once or twice just as it doesn't matter how fast you can hit when your attacks do no damage. Balancing both for the early game transition into mid game will give you more success.
you have to build a zeal item. complete first. before IE as a crit adc build. ie is useless without any other crit or attack speed.
