She has no AD which is why she needs AD to do damage... I agree that BoRK is good for her, but it's been my experience that if you rush for it, you do not enough damage mid game.

Think about it this way: at level 12: 36+46 damage = 82 damage

Blood thirster gives you 100 more damage.

100/82 = 1 item giving you 122% more damage

BotRK gives you 30 damage and 40% attack speed

32/82 = 39% more damage

40/90 = 44% more damage = 83% more damage

Now you have to ask yourself: is the BoTRK active and passive worth ~40% more DPS? For me, the answer is clearly no - because the role of an ADC is to take towers. Also, you get more lifesteal from BT and that helps me a lot because their tanky will try to jump over my entire team to hit me. I will be need to 1v1 at some point, and sustain is better for me.

But I get people looking down on me for not building BotRK. It's ok - I'll go something ridiculous like 6-0 anyways. Though then they think "It's not fair" and farm to oblivion (because obviously the only reason I'm doing better is because I have better farm, and not because of skill). Then they suicide and we lose the game anyways, because, oops we forget it's a team game, and we're suppose to protect the carry. Not protect the epeen.
