Tiamat is very effective in AD for money. And honestly I'd say this depends on team comp, if they simply had to run in to melee one guy, they will be unable to create gaps and Tiamat on rat will be supereffective.
Really have no idea why you guys need to be sarcastic. Tiamat Twitch was somewhat viable, the same way Tiamat Fiora was. It's niche and gimmick, but it can work in a PUB game, and you guys aren't all playing ranked 5s.
I also find it hard to believe that you haven't been misinformed about the viability of something in your entire league playing period. Unless you itemize perfectly every game, I really don't see the need to be smartasses.

Funny, I was doing some maths on this just yesterday.
Long Sword, +10 AD: 42 gold per AD.
Pickaxe, +25 AD: 39 gold per AD.
B.F. Sword, +45 AD: 37 gold per AD.
Bloodthirster, +60-100 AD: 50-30 gold per AD.
Tiamat, +50 AD: 41 gold per AD.
Bloodthirster raw values are shown, if you discount Vampiric Scepter and a proportional amount of the recipe cost you get 38-23 gold per AD.
Tiamat raw values are shown, if you discount Faerie Charm, Rejuvenation Bead and a proportional amount of the recipe you get 31 gold per AD.
It's still pretty eh and I'd say the other stats it gives aren't that good. Take this as you will.
Because Tiamat is bad. :c
m8 I rush BT>PD every game my build is perfect.
derp derp. As mentioned before Tiamat is not really a good item on a carry since the effect radius is too small for it to be good and shit like hp/5 is pretty much redundant for an ad carry. Just a niche item for "fun"-builds for pub games.
Tiamats radius is very small to start with. AD carry builds also arn´t flexible at all. There really isn´t any item you´d sacrifice for tiamat. You can´t build it early because you´ll lose lane, and you´ll melt people so fast without it anyways you won´t need it.
Twitch is actually really strong, like someone mentioned earlier Aphromoo plays him a lot with great results. Saw him destroy CLG with twitch even after Doublelift went 4-0 on vayne.
Oh Elise solo top, so much fun, so devastating. Then late game comes and you feel as if you're a burden to the team really.
