Swiftness boots decrease the effectiveness of slows, Merc Treads decrease the effectiveness of cc, and there are numerous items, summoner spells, and abilities which give you gap closers, slows, and movement speed buffs. Can't catch an adc? Get Swiftness boots, Randuin's, Frozen Heart, and Thornmail (which leaves room for two potential magic resist items). If you don't need MR, throw in a Trinity Force, Blade of the Ruined King, or Frozen Mallet to stick to them better and deal more damage (especially against a dueslist like Vayne, make yourself a threat, not just a tank).

"Consume and adapt."
