Well, as I said in the beginning, raw on  helps allies a lot more than it helps himself.

I agree with you assessment on , but not on your alternative. There is a gigantic flaw in your reasoning: does not have. vs. . In terms of items,  is the one that matches  needs the best in the laning phase.

This is a valid comparison because it is not one based on the second item you complete, but the first item you complete. The fact that you don't even complete with an item is already a death sentence for your  build. In all honesty, your build is just a Bruiser build the entirety of early game.

There is absolutely no trace of the healing theme you are going for as the first completed item, for every single champion in the game, is the only item people have in the laning phase. People simply level up too quickly to get anything more than one fully completed item in the early game.
