I have the same build every game for 90% of adc's

Most ADC champs have the same or almost the same item path of item 3031 item 3087 item 3006 item 3072 item 3035 item 3026. With a few other options likeitem 3078 item 3153 item 3046 or item 3139 .

Their is almost no diversity in those builds. Now let's look at the main items one by one.

item 3031 :This item is a must by on any ADC. It gives massive ad, decent crit chance, and an amazing passive. Not to mention the fact that it builds off of very good itemsitem 1038 item 1037 item 1018 . Their is no reason for any ADC not to buy this item. So 1/6 of an ADC item build has no room for diversity.

item 3087: this item is worth 4k gold but it is only 2.5k. It gives massive attack speed, crit chance, move speed, and even some burst/wave clear. 80% of adc's get this item, the ones that don't get item 3046 . Their goes 2/6 of the ADC item build.

item 3006 : This is the only boot option for adc's. I think a new pair of boots for adc's is necessary. Perhaps some boots that give ad? Their goes 1/2 of the build.

item 3072 : this item gives amazing damage and lifesteal as well as a sheild. I dont think an item that gives so much offensive capabilities should give so much survivability. 4/6 items gone.

item 3035 Needs no explanation.

The only item that ever changes is the last item.

I believe ADC need more item diversity, their are 50ish ad items and only 10 are used.

item 3047 is great for winning trades. Some get item 3512 for tankiness and tower pressure.

For one...

Getting item 3047 is actually harmful. Since your lowering your own damage by not getting, well damage items.

Second... item 3512 the stats on it are horrible for cost efficiency. Meaning sure you have an expensive item used for tower seiging that gives minor defensive stats. Meanwhile the enemy AD carry has finished their item 3031 and do miles more damage then you.

Attack damage scales into late game. ADC's do need to build mostly glass cannon, but you can win early trades by building a little defense. Win trades, deny cs and get farmed, and snowball.

I mean, item 3006 are nice, but sometimes early game defense can be better. Hell, you can just buy a cloth armor if you don't want ninja tabi and you'll still be good.

But good point on the portal. I've seen it on people when they snowball, but I suppose it's only really good for junglers and top laners.
