He said melee ADC and he's right. I'm sure those items do great DPS on paper but a melee ADC can't rely as much on lifesteal to keep him up. Ghostblade does the work of all those items to a lesser degree, so it frees up a spot for a defensive item. You also don't need static movespeed, that's for kiting. The burst and pathing from Ghostblade's active is far more useful.

The CDR serves a different purpose than it does for AD casters. It's there to improve mechanisms to keep the target in range and improve built in survivability.
