You need to have in mind first that you need smite for this.

Having smite on top lane is not a big deal, you can manage with it, but what about bot lane. If people would put smite on adc that would require to drop one spell, either flash or heal which people run now. Since most of the community is very closeminded aka follow the META blindly I can't imagine this catching up in bronze, silver or gold. But platinum and diamond are a whole lot different story.

Another problem with this item is its fuel. You need champion kills or monster kills. That means pillaging one of the jungles and getting a ridicilous kill score in order to make this item to work. We are talking about 15 kills or assists. It is very rare to see an adc have that score before quite some time into the game and pillaging your own jungle will make your jungler really mad, pillaging enemy jungle will put you at risk of getting killed in enemy jungle.

So yes, this item is cool and has some really good power attached to it but the risk for obtaining it is high, not to mention the difficulties of getting stacks.
