This item is really lack luster right now. I wouldn't say its weak in general or a bad item, its passive gives extra range and bonus damage on the enhanced attack after all, but compared to statikk it will lose almost every time. Stattik offers the same stats and has the same price as RFC, but its passive is way better for crit ADC's. It offers waveclear, spread damage in teamfights and has a synergy with critical strikes, making it overshadow RFC.

The problem, I guess, is the purpose of these items. What offers RFC? It gives you a long ranged auto attack, so it's good for poke and siege situations. What offers Statikk? It gives you insane waveclear, AoE damage and a strong burst if it crits, so it's good in siege situations, in 1 v 1 and (if someone says inside of the minion wave) random poke. Statikk is much more efficient in much more situations and it's good for much more champions. Not many ADC's have good waveclear as they are (Sivir, Tristana and Jinx being an exception) and Statikk is offering just that (just as Runaan's, but this items needs other syngergies aswell). RFC only offers more range and this may be good for every ADC but often it's not that usefull.
