75 AD. THAT'S why people buy it.

75 AD is more than The Bloodthirster's base of 70 AD. In addition, it grants innate sustain, AoE lifesteal sustain, a highly damaging active, and actual teamfight presence for single target assassins.

Perhaps, instead of calling people retards (and proving yourself one in the process), you could try, I dunno, looking up stats? Ravenous Hydra isn't just 600 gold for lifestealing on the proc: It's 600g for 25 AD and 2% lifesteal over its base components. THAT'S why it's good: Because it takes an already good item and makes it INSANE.
