Make More ADC Items

ADC is a fun role, but the builds are ridiculously static (no pun intended). Literally, if you're not Lucian, Kog'maw, Twitch, Ezreal, or Vayne, you just rush Infinity Edge, then get your Berserker Greaves, then you get your Statikk Shiv, then if you're behind you get LW, and if you're ahead you get BT, then you get LW or BT depending on the one you purchased last, then you get GA, and when you lose your GA passive you get Mercurial Scemitar.

If you're Kog'maw or Ezreal, you get your Sheen, you get Triforce, you get Berserker Greaves, you get Inf Edge, and the rest of your build follows the previous build minus Statikk Shiv.

If you're Twitch or Vayne, you rush BotRK, get Berserker Greaves, Statikk Shiv, LW, BT, GA.

Lastly, there's Lucian, the only slightly diverse ADC. You can rush either Triforce, Infinity Edge, or BotRK, and you can build those as well as Statikk Shiv, Youmuu's, Last Whisper, Bloodthirster, Berserker Greaves, Ionian Boots of Lucidity, Mercurial Scemitar, and Guardian Angel.

Here's an example of champions without static builds: Riven, Gnar, Fiora, Master Yi, Any Tank, etc.

You get my drift. So can we have some more ADC items?

Phantom dancer gives a lot more damage late game than statikks. You also didnt mention niche picks like essence reaver or black cleaver. Plus there is a banshee veils, which are amazing. Blue ez is also still viable, but with some different variations floating around. I dont play corki, but i have heard rageblade is beast on him. I can name more, but they get more debatable.

There is some limit on adc itemization, because by definition adcs are auto attack dps, and on a vanilla adc ie,pd,lw, and bortk would be pretty much the most dps you could get from strait autos.

Statikk is more burst damage. Phantom Dancer is more constant damage. I've played ADC enough to prefer bursting half of a squishy's health in 1 hit than to lose a brawl all because I didn't have that half health burst crit.
