I don't know if my opponents are just really bad but I tend to win by rushing last whisper on adcs. tested this out on jinx when i was facing against a malphite support and i've stuck with it ever since assuming im not playing Corki or Ez. It just gives so much boosted damage on abilities and autos towards champions and doesnt have a random gimmick like crit, more damage on objectives, and helps farm easier. Plus you only need 2.3k to finish the item it's actually one the most cheapest items to finish giving you an advantage over you're lane opponent who went bf sword + something or cutlass or 1 + 1/2 trinity component. It's just great cause your damage never falls off mid game and may dissuade the enemy from buying armor so you can continue your build with stronger ad items.

BF sword alone provides more straight damage than a completed Last Whisper, and since LW is % armor pen its less valuable the less armor your target has. Early game against non-tank rushing enemies, its effect will be negligible and youre far better off going the standard BF>Infinity Edge start on typical adcs.

if your team is all ad rushing it is perfectly viable, i even get that item 3071 as next item as it would give wayy more damage for you and your team than anything else you can buy, trading vs adc is probably big no no for rest of the game.

really think about it.. all the objectives have armor (towers, dragons, camps/minions) why not get that early armor penetration and press objectives and mitigate defensive itemization early and get bonus damage on all your skills. crit doesn't help with towers and is unreliable in fights and farming, raw ad doesn't give as much damage potential, plus you get a whole completed item advantage early. Alot of adcs get Trinity force simply for the damage boost with abilities.
