She lacks the sustain of other ADCs? Other ADCs don't have any sustain. The base regen and item build is more or less the same, so I'm not sure how the difference is in that. Her burst comes from her skill rotation and AD-scaling, so crit has little to do with it. You typically build 2-3 purely AD items first.
