NO.

I don't see it justifiable to ever buy a Thornmail on a marksman your delaying a potiental Bloodthirster doing so.
who's going to be the dps that takes down the objectives like dragon or towers if you buy Thornmail

more so the enemies do not have to focus you they can focus your support.

The ADC role is all about positioning. if you are taking damage, you are doing it wrong. therefore Defensive items should be a mute point on ADCs.

No way. You're an ADC. You should be getting dps items.

If the whole enemy team goes AFK except the ADC, then you can consider thornmail :P

As a late game item, if the enemy team has a fed ADC PLUS a Master Yi and/or a Tryndamere, I say maybe.

Other than that, no.

pls no

Wouldn't even be good late game against a full AD team, you don't have the health to support the passive. Randuin's would be better.

How about you give us a good reason why a thornmail rush would be good as an ADC?
Thanks for the Signature MissMaw!
