replacing ignite
But ADCs don't take ignite.
And the jungle items are a horrible waste of time to build in bot lane.
Well the big thing here is which enchantment upgrade you want and whether it's worth the item slot, for supports it can be but an adc might want something stronger in the slot. However the 2 options to best suit an adc would be devourer(adds 50% AS and a stacking on hit magic damage) or Warrior(45 AD, 10% cdr, and 10 armor pen). Given that ADCs tend to chase and duel quite often Skirmisher's might be a better option over Stalker's since it allows them 6 secs to deal extra true damage to the target, grant vision, and reduce the target's damage to them by 20%.
Also note that you gain NO STATS from either till you get the enchantment, so the verdict comes down to whether the chosen smite effect is worth 750 gold and the ignite/heal you would have otherwise. The only way I can see it work would be if you built a brutalizer(for the Warrior enchant) as your first item and then build the weapon since at least the brutalizer gives you useful stats so you don't fall behind having a nearly useless summoner.
If you go Skirmisher's the slot would basically be taking up the role of the last whisper, albeit not quite as good unless you smite the target allowing you the extra true damage. Of course you could also build the last whisper for good effect if facing a heavy armor team as the 2 would stack. It can also take the place of a Youmuu's in builds that use it, at which point it's still iffy as youmuu's has a shorter cooldown than Smite and better stats.
Now if you should be crazy enough you could build all 3 on a champ and have a huge 35%+30 armor pen, I don't know if it would be worth the amount of DPS a regular build would provide though.
Anyway just my brainstorm on the topic. (Final note, this on a AD mid would be great though, Yasuo would wreck face with these)
Not having a defensive summoner spell means you're just begging to lose the game.
Heal/Barrier lets you have a chance to survive someone trying to kill you late game but even without considering that, you're facing an enemy who effectively has hundreds more health than you do. You've just given up lane for an item that gives you mediocre mid game stats and have also sacrificed your entire late game safety.
Instead of gimping your ADC into near uselessness just pick a jungler who can solo dragon level 2-3 and snowball the game that way.
It allows an infinite stacking with the jungle item giving a 40+ per kill/assist and monster kill buff
good item for it also allows more dragon kills
