AD scaling shields should never exist.

there is 1 shield that scales with AD to any extent that is even useable. Riven and its complete horseshit.

She has more mobility than LeeSin and gets to have even more survivability with having her shield scale with her primary stat.

She should have an AP scaling shield.

lol why ap ? she dont build ap in any way/form

it is done the way it is so it encourages her to stack ad to make it useful . unlike other champs who just get a shield that scales per level for no reason...

ok lets give LeeSin an AD scaling shield because he doesnt build AP at all. But oh no. we cant give the boards most hated champion something equal to Riven

i thought the most hated was cait

but by having her shield scale with bonus AD forces a fighet/melee carry champ to be just that... a carry instead of a juggernaut or tank who can have damage while building tank items

we saw a lot of that and no one cared for it

Reason why leesin doesnt have AD scaling on his shield

2 part ability

feeds into his passive

gives him sustain which is another form of defense

Stops him from double dipping into his gold as he is an early game type champion and his ability to do that would bust him

reasons why Riven has AD scaling on shield

Gives her incentives to play her the way she was made to be played

directly punishes for building anything without AD by not allowing her to scale

feeds into her passive which also feeds from AD allowing her to double dip into her gold making tank options unvaiable for her ( or at least in most cases sub optimal, if riven if effectually abusing a Tank Item before core times or situational buys thats a tell tail sign something is REALLY busted )

You'd have to buff riven pretty heavily to compensate, and I really don't think we want to do that.
