1. The less AD is definetely a loss, i won't dispute that, but seriously you have enough AD late game already, and BotRK is not exactly an early game item. Just supplement the new build with maybe another high AD item earlier on, like maybe build BC, then BotRK, then instead of going for magic resist or armor go for a BT or something.

2.  Basically the new BotRK changes make him more powerful against any and all champions, instead of just the AD carry. You see, with these changes, he has more opportunity to attack the enemy champion, allowing him to actually proc his passive before dying or running away. In addition think about this: ult-qew(with an autoattack in here) and a finisher or earlier on with BotRK. This will deal your q's dmg, e's dmg, ult's base dmg, and 25% of their hp minimum(if you get an autoattack off)(this is level 3 of his passive) all multiplied by 1.5. so now he does 37.5% of the enemy's health guaranteed.

3. The now OP lifesteal will keep him alive. 30% of AD? that's definetely a buff from the 10% lifesteal. Now a 400 AD lategame zed can heal 120 hp per hit, plus any other lifesteal sources.

In sum, the active, if used properly will help his game incredibly against any and all champs. The attack speed and % health buffs will increase overall dmg with ult, passive, and 1vs1. The AD is not to be worried about, merely sacrificing a bit of extra dmg is no big deal, especially with zed's massive attack pool end game, and that is really where he shines, that and mid game against carries.

Now Zed can "strike from the shadows" to destroy any opponent, instead of just AD carries.
