ad quints or life steal quints

[quote=Satella]There's also the fact that 6% lifesteal is going to be a substantial fraction of your total lifesteal lategame (since even a bloodthirster is only 18% lifesteal), whereas 6AD is basically nothing since one AD item is more than 10x the AD of three AD quints.[/quote]

[quote=grrg]I always feel like I have to start doran's blade with ad quints. Since I don't already have the lifesteal.[/quote]

[quote=Luther3000]You should be starting Doran's in any case, Doran's + lifesteal quints is super beast.[/quote]

[quote=Wayne3100]As mentioned before, you can use AD on more champions. Not really sure why you wouldn't have them, one of the first quints I ever bought I think. For AD carries, LS is really good in combination with a Doran's start and - possibly - 19/0/11 masteries (3% extra from utility). AD Quints are still perfectly viable on ADCs too though.[/quote]

[quote=BMCO]AD quints tend to be more universally helpful if you're going to put the IP into it. Lifesteal tends to only work in certain situations with certain mastery/build order. For example some ADCs go lifesteal quints but only under certain scenarios. AD quints are useful in every role, even in support for some reason. Cheers, C[/quote]

[quote=rudyards]AD Quints are standard and usually a good place to start. Right now, Lifesteal Quints are really common, especially when combo'ed with a Doran's Blade start.[/quote]
