Okay imaging this. 
just dived into the enemy 
and are both in each other's faces. instead of using their guns to shoot though they both start whacking each other with their guns. It doesn't change the damage or the attack speed, just an added animation to watch.
I been playing 
and it amuses me too much seeing him slap people with his hand mirror when they are closer to him. Would like to see that kind of stuff more often.
I am torn. Because A) WE REALLY NEED THIS B) WE REALLY NEED RIOT TO WORK ON OTHER STUFF MORE THAN THIS
wait wait, I love this actually. Imagine Lux in melee range just whooping them with her wand I fucking love it!
I feel like only a few ADC would actually suit this
Like twitch is crazy enough so can easily see him just swinging the crossbow around
Kalista could just use the spears as a spear
But Jhin, I'm not so sure about
Incoming counterplay for ADCs vs Yasuo’s “windwall and stand on top of it” play.
has a scythe but never uses it.
I don't wanna know what vel koz would do in melee combat...
Like the dirty guerilla warfare champ we all hate, he would probably jab his blowdart in people`s faces and blow on it.
Or just pull his darts out and stab them directly...
one of twitchs abiltys way back then was he had a bat and would whack u for %hp dmg but was scrapped really early on
I mean...have you seen Draven in the Awaken video? The dude's using his axes as swords rather than throwing them 24/7.
This is already present in HotS. Raynor uses his gun, but when he gets melee he uses his bayonet.
I'm imagining Draven using his axes in melee form and then just to be a goofball he throws them up in the air afterwards anyway
Jhin would be amazing.
I love this idea. I'd zoom the hell out of him to watch everything.
Butt, Jhin usually dies in melee range. I'm not sure if this would work. The only time I get him close to enemies is when they towerdive me.
I could see 
literally just barrel rolling on people.
Thresh does this too, but that's only because rakan and thresh don't shoot bullets, they are actually animated to swing their hook/wing that distance. So if an enemy is up close they need a different animation or it would look like they're sitll swinging their hook/wing at max range.
For normal bullet shooting ADC's it looks fine at all ranges so no need for extras.
I can just imagine jinx just grabbing out one her many belts and proceed to whip them to death and for her rocket form hits them with grenades
It would mess with clarity way too much.
That's the main reason they removed Gangplank's basic attack where he crits with the gun.
As for why Rakan has it when it's especially important that people know he doesn't count as melee and so can't use relic shield despite his entire playstyle being that of a melee character, I couldn't tell ya.
Maybe it would've been extra work to make him melee but still work with Xayah's W.
Tbh, I think Draven should do this in melee Range (like he does in the Awaken video) and retain his Q axes active automatically instead of having them bounce and recatching them. His playstyle is already to get in your face, while ranged it makes sense to bounce and recatch them, in melee it's just silly, but it's just an idea for a potential mini-rework that makes sense visually, idk if it would be too broken.
Also make it so that ranged only items, like 
don't activate whn this happens. That way, you can afford to make ADCs a little stronger at range, while leaving them with a clear in-built counter.
funny that you took twitch because (idk if this got fixed yet) if j4 ults twitch and twitch activates his ult, he cant hit j4 if neither moves cause twitchs ult is coded as skillshot rather than an autoattack
Stabbing their shins with his blowpipe
theres a problem with your idea but i like it even though it adds a major weakness to ranged units cant be used if in melee mode. otherwise it should be classified as melee 125-175 vs say ranged. it wouldnt make sense for a melee attack to do hurricane bolts.
Mhmm maybe 
could finally use his dagger
Kayle's got one.
Oh, Xayah totally would just use her feathers as daggers. I NEED THIS.
“Ever been stabbed by a feather?”
I imagine Quinn would have a dagger on her somewhere anyway.
