So you essentially found out that the regular ADC build is the most efficient on an ADC. It's pretty sad, but I AD Carries builds are set in stone like that because no matter who you are, you still need the highest DPS possible, and there usually is one combination of items which brings you that. Unless you're Kalista. :P

I have to say tho, I've had some success (in ranked games, too) with a mid lane Lucian build which consisted of Manamune > Ionian Booots > Black Cleaver > Last Whisper > Bloodthirster or BotRK. If you do not sit on your Tear and upgrade it asap, you can usually get your Muramana stacked at around 25 mins into the game, and it hurts a lot with Lucian's passive. Black Cleaver is there for CDR and it works SO WELL with Lucian's ulti. Due to its passive, you'll stack it up in a moment (you can usually full stack two enemies in a single tf) and since it gives you movements speed on physical damage dealt, you get a nice boost of MS while ulting which stacks with your W boost if you applied it before.
