ADC now have the exactly same build path.

Since AD caster have to build for mana suitain (exept for who havent crit at his Q after all), they now have to build up crit as well: core , 2/4 ( ), (this is items that ADC non caster will build, but ADC caster build it too cause it the only way to get crit chance to get cooldown and infinitive mana for )
or for life steal . And even AD NOT caster have to build too because it the only item give you AD and can fill the last 20% crit chance + 30% cooldown.

The point is no matter what your build is, you have to follow this build path, and the cost of each item in this build path are same, and their stats are seem equally.

So, since it ERA of ADC, instead of ONLY one possile build path, why dont you give ADC more real choice, instead of CRIT + CRIT + CIRT + CRIT + LIFESTEAl + NO_ARMOR_PEN (RIP ARMOR PEN 2015)

if someone on the enemy team builds a good bit of armor the adc better build armor pen or they're gonna have a bad time

Or you can let someone else deal with them. Like every adc does.

that is wrong. The ADC is there to shred tanks. If you are not building LW items as a non-Kog non-Vayne ADC, you can't do your job.

It is their job.

Doesn't mean they're willing to do it when they can take out squishies in 2 autos instead.

the positioning of squishies is either that they are backline and you will never get to auto them or that they're assassins and you've already opened up the shop window.

A good adc that can get attacks off on squishies without getting rekt by the frontline will rek the enemy team very quickly.

It doesn't happen at mine either.

I just miss the old days of kog'maw, deleting tanks and squishies from out of nowhere.

First two items will almost always be static. Rarely will a marksmen deviate from what is their strongest first and second items. The "different" build paths will generally go like this:

Build non IE first item-> when will they get IE? second/third/fourth item etc. which life steal item will they build? when, if at all, will they build last whisper?

The strenghts of some items are so extreme that you absolutely must have it in your final build in 99% of situations (infinity Edge). Other items masquerade as choice (Statikk vs Phantom Dancer) (these items will still favor certain champs naturally and you'll want one over the other on them. Other items feel gimped but still totally necessary against certain enemies (botrk and health stackers)
