I am a Bronze III player from the Latin servers, I joined in 2011. I am still a novice, though.

What do you think of this specific item on a typical ADC build, replacing Bloodthirster?

On a few champs but not ashe. Blade of the Ruined King definitely replaces BT now.

Why not? Ashe tend to use a lot of mana in teamfights. And some mana recovery would be nice.

Slot efficiency. It only gives 50 ad which is very little. ADC's first priority = autoattack damage and as it only gives little damage compared to blade, ie, bt etc it's not a good item.

Best off trying to use less mana, and get what you need through runes and masteries, its just not a powerful enough item for a slot for her. Youd be surprised how with focus on only using spells that are needed youll use half as much mana let her autoattack do the work.

I'm actually gonna re-open this for discussion since it got buffed.

What about it on mana heavy ADCs now? It's the same AD as BT and other BF Sword items.

Does it fit anywhere on any ADC now? What about non-ADCs?

I tried it on Ashe specifically and although I was fed like a truck it felt lackluster. The problem is ADCs that used to rush BT were overall hit by the nerf to that item, so another that does the same thing but sacrifices lifesteal for mana...don't think it's worth it. The only real cool stat is the CDR, and the ADCs that 100% love CDR go down to pretty much graves and lucian.

Its good for adcs that get more damage by spamming abilities... Caitlin, mf, corki,ezreal... Ashe doesnt really need to spam her spells for damage, usually just the vision ability mid fight, a arrow spray, a ult, and then slow arrows to finish.. Thats plenty in her base pool of mana 95% of the time, i wouldnt want to lose 8% life steal just to get one pr two more arrow volleys in personally...

No.

Caitlyn doesn't get that much out of spamming her skills outside of lane phase, it's a lot more certain to poke with autos until the enemies are at their tower, MF is the same thing and corki is about bursting more than poking, not to mention his R skill doesn't cost that much.
