@OP: Frozen heart and Thornmail passives are also useless against spells, they only offer a bit more armor. Randuin's has HP to compensate for less armor, which also makes it combo better with mres items. The AS and MS slows on Randuin's are also a lot more potent than Frozen heart's passive (not to mention FH has no MS slow). Thornmail only works if the enemy AD carry is stupid enough to focus a tank first, which is simply not going to happen in higher elo play. Besides that, the MS slow alone is very powerful.

To say AD carries rely on spells is simply not true anyway. Even Graves, Ez and Corki (the 3 ADs that come to my mind when it comes to ADs using spells) still rely on auto attacks for a large portion of their damage.

Other than that, HoG is a really great help in gathering the gold you need for Randuin's and can potentially speed up your build a lot more than Thornmail or FH ever will.

Randuin's active is arguably one of the strongest in the entire game.
