Why cant I buy items as adc

They used too, but it turns out giving the class that has the fastest wave clear the best wave clear tool was a bad idea.

Eliminates the ADC's weakness for "being squishy despite being the high damage dealer".

Two reasons:

2. Used to have the AoE effect for both melee & ranged long ago, was removed cz it's just too toxic af to play against, especially when it was mostly used on

Because Sterak's and Hydra are melee only items? They're designed only for melee champions and in the case of Sterak's would be incredibly broken on marksmen (as it was in the past).

The tiaman is melee's waveclear item. ADC's can get Runaan's if they need more waveclear, if they even need it. Most ADCs have effective waveclear in their kit. Sterak's turned certain ADCs into unstoppable Monsters, that is why they turned it melee only
