Forgotten Her...ahm *gulp* Champions: AD-Supports

As the title says...this thread is for all the brave people that dare to acknowledge J4, LeeSin, Ashe and even Urgot are great supports! That being said...they don´t get too much support from the game as it is right now (even though in at least some of their profils they are rated as support).

So what about we remake Zekes Herold into a default supportitem for AD-Supports (with the same patterns as ToA, Frostfang and FotM)? It could provide a little hp and healthsustain (maybe on hit lifesteal like FF...so you have to push in order to sustain as a trade of) on top of the gp5 and bring back a bit of appreciation to those somewhat neglected Champions(or Champion/role combinations) - and would bring back Zekes out of it´s very narrow niche into another (a little broader) narrow niche I´d guess.

(got the idea from an EU discussion: http://forums.euw.leagueoflegends.com/board/showthread.php?t=1701236)

Yea urgot works well as a supp, poppy does as well. Though when I "support" lee It's just basically a ad version or a nidalee "supp"

With the changes to making supports utility scale with their AP(or maybe it's just with their ability scaling?) I don't really see this being too viable. Plus, it's honestly a good idea to have AD/AP in the lane otherwise if they build armor you won't be dealing much damage at all. Imagine them building a thornmail. Because a lot of AD champs focus their AD for AAs while their abilities still scale with AP(or both).
