why dont bruisers build adc builds

i mean if they build the adc build (deaths dance/bloodthirster as a defense items) they are way tankier than ones that have deadmans and other bruiser items. i just had a game lifesteal outtanks a bruiser playstyle yet somehow does damage so im like im gonna ask this question. why not build like a adc to be a tank and does damage.

because picking bruiser is trolling

Full ADC build on a bruiser will fall of late game hard.

why do adcs become tankier than bruisers late game though? if i wanted tanky results i can buy their items and get it?

ADCs are nowhere near as tanky as bruisers late game. Usually bruisers will go about half and half in damage and defense. There's certainly room for a lifesteal item there. But lifesteal alone won't let you frontline, you need health and resistances from somewhere else.

srry i just had a vayne basically drain tank me as darius even though i had bramble vest on her (i bought deadmans 1st.) thats why i think adcs are too tanky currently. thats why i think "why not build adc if they can tank harder than me."

The strength of bruisers/juggernauts is that their damage is high enough to kill squishies, but they are tanky enough to survive a similar amount of damage. Building full damage kind of removes half of this

Because range. Cait can easily go a whole fight without getting hit. Udyr would have a much harder time doing the same thing.

what about deaths dance and bloodthirster that somehow makes adcs tanky as heck im pretty sure udyr can bush rush them 1 by 1 insta gibbing due to his charged by (6 stacks passive) tiger stance/bear shred.

Just build that way and you ll find it suboptimal

Unless you count Graves as a bruiser
