So.. Botrk is not good on ADC apparently?
Like I build it to counter tanks because normal damage doesn't tend to phase them.. But apparently, diamond players think that is stupid? Am I missing something?

When I ADC, I like to build BotRK against front line teams that can dive me easily. When I discover my team can't peel, I tend to rush it quicker. The active has saved my life more than once.
Maybe in Diamond, peel happens as it should and thus makes my reason obsolete.
Botrk on some ADC only, not all.
why not build both O.o ?
BotRK is good any time the other team has multiple hp stackers or you are playing a marksman that synergizes well with it. Yeah it feels awk to build it on Caitlyn for example, but sometimes it is what the game calls for. I don't think I could ever make it on Graves, but who knows.
whoever told you this is foolish....when i play someone like a hyper carry mainly twitch jinx and kalista. you can delete their front line especially when you cant reach their back line
Some ADCs it's just a normal part of their buy process...Vayne and Twitch for instance almost always buy it. The rest...depends on the make up of the team. For instance last night Sneaky built BotRK third on Tristana after IE, Shiv because he needed a way to get through their tank heavy team. You build it based upon the enemy team.
If they only have 1 tank...you really wouldn't build it on other ADCs...it really depends on the enemy team. Don't be swayed by what some Diamond players say...they obviously don't know everything.
BoRK isn't that good because it doesn't scale as much as crit and doesn't give as much survivability. The extra 55 AD on BT is another 137 damage per IE crit, which is the equivalent to the average damage (4% max HP) of BoRK to a 3000 HP champ and the max HP hit on a 1700 HP squishy.
However, BT also gives a giant's belt worth of HP (1000 gold) over its base damage and sustain stats.
