Why are there no AD + Armor Items?

Ability power champions have item 3001 Abyssal scepter versus mages, that also grants them decent number of AP, Nice cooldown reduction, a lot of magic resist, and also magic penetration AS AURA, so any teammate with magic dmg spell can do more dmg because of the aura that reduces the magic resistance. ( changed to +10% Magic dmg taken to enemies at pbe ) item 3157 They have Zhonya with great amount of Ap, Decent armor and aggain some nice cooldown reduction. Also has a great passive, that can be used in many ways. They also have TONS of items for HP + Ability Power item 3136 item 3030 item 3152 item 3116 item 3027 What the ,,AD'' Champions have for hp and dmg is Trinity and Black cleaver, and if you buy both u lose 1 passive, so it wont be in use to buy them, while you can see a lot of people buyng zhonya + abyssal scepter + Crystal + Morello + Rabadon / Echo / Void staff / in ONLY 1 BUILD. ALSO THE NEW ASSASSIN UPDATE IS GOING OUT SOON, thats update to some ad items, but still we have no items. I like the new item Edge of the Night , that gives 60 ad + 35 Mag res + lethality, Out of combat ms and active for move speed, but still, it gives mag res, while we still have 0 items for AD/Armor..

Because every ADC and Bruiser would have to get them, which would make all matchups redundant and make the item ubiquitous. item 3001 is only really beneficial if you can make use of its aura. item 3157 is only purchased on champs who it is core, against champs the active it is particularly needed for on or to lane against AD mids.(and they dont even do that last one really, tbqh)

if they had this a fed adc would be pointless, the other arry just builds th item and gets damage plus amour, not too mention the burisers and assassins wold also abuse this

I for one agree with this, but I think it should be intended for marksman items like runaans or rapidfire, because melee bruisers already get a shit ton of AD from items like steracks Gage and Titanic Hydra, so I think adc's need early game defense stats JUST to counter the shit loads of early game damage tanks get from base and items.
