"often in the middle of the enemy team."

Doesn't sound like you or your team are playing with GA's passive in mind. Don't treat it like an added bonus, play with the idea that you get a +1 UP and die where your team can defend you afterwards.

It's still one of, if not *the* best defensive item choice for ADCs, expecially against AP Mages. There's nothing more disatisfying for a mage than having to wait for GA to be consumed before using their full combo.
