Randuins is better in every regard though. The active helps peel people off you when they jump on you, the health combined with the armor gives more effective health than thornmail, and the passive is just icing in case anyone is trying to kite you.

GA, BV and Scimitar all beat Omen imo. Let your team peel for you and get one of those to protect you against the real nasty stuff.

Overall yes, but not vs a full ad team. Randuins is godlike vs someone like irelia.

How about you give us a good reason why a thornmail rush would be good as an ADC?
Thornmail so the other ADC can't do any damage and the damage he does he gets back so you always win a fight
I play top and bot a lot and i think i'm now a pretty good support and tank.
Thornmail rush on ADC to shut down the enemy is a bad idea because:
1. It deals magical damage, ADC's are supposed to deal physical damage
2. It requires the enemy to attack you in order to deal damage, meaning that the enemy ADC can survive battles easier by simply running away,
3. It will not help with farming (really important as ADC)
4. It will not reduce the damage done by magic damage nor it brings back the damage done by spells. So basically, the enemy can poke you to death easily.
So no, thornmail rush is not an option :P
