Good news everyone! Riot added lifesteal to about 50 ad items for season six!

Not all AD champions will benefit very much from life steal. For instance, Zed does very little AA damage, so why buy lifesteal?

I agree Zed can resist without life steal, but why an ADC would buy item 3031 before item 3072 when he/she can barely resist?

ADC's don't really need lifesteal first. Your job is to do lots of damage. The extra damage is more valuable than the potential lifesteal. IF you get jumped on, then as an adc you're probably dead anyway with or without lifesteal.

They could have Warlord's or a healing Support or have trust that their support can heal them or shield them. There is a ton of reasons why actually.

What good is healing for 20% of my damage when I don't do any damage?

The Fiora I fought 2 games ago is probably asking the same question.

She rushed Trinity while being 1/5 before ACTUALLY buying sustain.

AND I WAS RUMBLE, She didn't even buy MR to shrug me off!

I sure hope my Caitlyn or Ashe aren't rushing Lifesteal before their IE and Zeal items. Along with boots. And under some circumstances they may needs armor pen as well before lifesteal.

I sure hope my Darius isn't rushing lifesteal before a Black Cleaver.

Sure hope my Zed isn't rushing Lifesteal before his armor pen AD items.

Sure hope my Garen isn't rushing Lifestea...

You know what:

item 3071 before lifesteal: Darius Illaoi Garen JarvanIV Riven (Unless she snowballs) Pantheon Sion

item 3031 or item 3508 AND item 3086 before lifesteal: Vayne (Unless rushing item 3153 ) Tristana Sivir Jinx Caitlyn Draven Ashe Tryndamere Yasuo

item 3142 before lifesteal: Lucian Jhin Zed

item 3057 item before lifesteal: Ezreal Ekko Irelia Poppy Skarner Vi

Just to name a few you would be stupid to rush lifesteal on. Before their essential items.

Usually never. But he said AD champions.

I rarely get lifesteal (outside of dorans) as adc. I main adc varus and I always get static shiv > IE > Boots. If the game gets longer then that I get Rapid Fire, the last couple items depend on what I need that game Dominicks, QSS, Essence Reaver, Maw, BT, and rarely GA because most of the time if i die late game its because my team is dead and GA won't actually help.

For all the downvoting guys : I'm not saying every AD champion should get life steal as first item, I'm saying that when enemy deals a lot of damage and/or has tanks it's better to get life steal so yoo resist more in a teamfight or 1v1 or ganks.

An ADC absolutely needs IE, Zeal items, Boots. Before anything else. And if the enemy rushes armor will also need armor pen before lifesteal. And if the enemy Talon keeps one shotting them they will need GA before Lifesteal. That is IE, Zeal item, Boots, Pen and possibly even a defensive item before lifesteal. Many ADCs have 2% lifesteal plus Doran's Blade, and some still even have Warlords. Sustain early game is achieved through good play, even just a vampiric scepter by 25-30 minutes is more than enough in most cases.
