Why won't ADCs buy last whisper against tank comps?

Seems pretty simple to me. If the enemy team has a huge front line and the only people you can safely attack are the tanks why not buy an anti-tank item?

i made a post about last whisper a few hours ago, you cant rush it cause its a waste, and it only works vs tanks while havin a weak build path and tanks start to get very tanks after the 25th min, better to just get another crit item into a BT which works vs everything...

cleaver also works vs everything and helps ur team, gives you CDR sticking power and HP, why bother with LW?

Fact is: A dead adc can't do damage. Thresh hooks the enemy tank: ENGAGE Khazix Fiora jump into the brawl: LETS FIGHT Jinx left alone with the enemy master yi, and zed: PLS JUST KILL ME

teamfight lost: Thresh Khazix Fiora : REPORT JINX FOR INTENTIONAL FEED!

the last whisper is a good item, but as adc the MOST IMPORTANT thing is to survive as long as possible. That's why in soloqueue I almost always prioritze any of these item 3026 item 3140 item 3156 item 3053 item 3022 over the last whisper

Last whisper isn't really that good anymore since the change and is hard to fit into builds against most SoloQ team comps.

I would definitely build it close to last against three tanks.

It use to shred tanks, now it's just another item.

Would you rather do slightly more damage to tanks before you die or survive the massive amount of engage?

They save it for later as it doesn't provide enough damage on its own (they want more damage first so they can fight other people).
