I didn't really mean to say "it sucks", but it is situational and for many champs not "OP" in any sense. It's good, but definitely not a must buy on many champs (they can do perfectly fine without Runaan's).

As for clearing minion waves, many AD carries will have little to no issues doing that by the time you can afford this item (you can't buy it as a first item on most champs), so yeah I think there are better choices if you want to clear waves fast. I also don't see how faster wave clearing leads to more gold, if you clear waves faster than they spawn (which isn't hard) it only depends on how many minions you last hit, not really how fast you do that...

Also, as AD carry you won't have an easy time focusing the middle of a team as their tank/offtank will be in your face to force you out of that position and/or kill you. On some champs it might combo with certain items, but if you're only hitting 1-2 people you really aren't gaining much.

If I had to name some champs that benefit a lot I'd probably say Teemo, Kog and Twitch (and maybe Corki and Varus, but too a lesser extend). But for most others I think there are better options, the faster stack generation might sound nice, but if you can't pull it off in team fights you spend 2700 gold on an item that only gives you 70% AS (which is bad). For anyone who has no passive or anything scaling with this item innately it definitely isn't worth getting though.
