Marksmen that rush Attack Speed over Flat Damage

For the sake of clarity, I'm defining "rushing" simply as the process of getting your first item. From there yeah you can count champions whose paths diverge after going for attack speed first or whatever.

Those that come to mind immediately are Ashe, Twitch , and Vayne. Ashe and Twitch I see building Runans first a lot, and Vayne is just Vayne... her passive just screams it.

If you count Teemo as a Marksman then I guess Nashors Tooth rush counts.

Kindred despite their passive changing since release I'm guessing still counts assuming bloodrazor is their go to jungle item enchantment.

Is there anyone I'm missing?

Oh and of course Kalista , totally not because the first post reminded me of someone obvious that I missed.

Only kog and kallista rush pure attack speed items. This is more risky due to ardent change. Kog can go guinsso is fed, wits end vs heavy Ap threats, but should be back too bortk rush.

Everyone else should build an ad sub item first.

Bf sword, berserker greaves, finish IE for is the new standard.

Bf sword, zeal boots, boots , finish zeal item was the old standard.

It's also subjective per game. Marksmans now also struggle to put off lifesteal now that Ardent is pure damage.

Just here to point out Vayne's W is what screams it, not her passive.
