Anyone else wish there was a better item for ability AD/AD casters?

Title.

item 3143 is nice but next patch it'll be nerfed so that it does better against critical strike...oh, right, the thing that AD casters usually don't do. item 3075 doesn't block/return damage from AD abilities, meaning people like Riven/Zed/etc. can chunk tanks without fear of retaliation. item 3047 only blocks basic attack damage. item 3110 lowers attack speed...again, pointless against an AD caster outside of being a huge armor dump.

I could go on but you get the picture. It feels like many of the armor items we still have were from a time when AD casters were practically unheard of. This would be fine...except AD itemization has evolved to also cater to these AD Casters/Ability AD.

item 3071 procs on ALL physical damage. item 3035 has always worked with all physical damage. item 3158 help champions that couldn't get CDR easily without runes/masteries (Although the other item, armor pen boots, would have been beneficial to AD casters as well) item 2140 heals based on physical damage dealt, not just a flat AD increase.

Do I have a solution? No, I'm a goldie scrub. I still wish there was a better "Go-to" item if I'm a tank who has to deal with Zed, Riven, Lee Sin, etc.

Are you really complaining about AD casters, when they don't even have items designed for them? They are using items made for carries/tanks, RiotRepertoir said it himself. And it's not like they have batshit crazy item 3157 that AP's have. Also you can get more AP, more magic pen, and enemies can get less MR compared to AD. AD casters are really op. Confirmed.
