AD GP5 item missing

At the moment there are: AP - Spellthief's Edge (365g) Tank - Relic Shield (365g) General - Ancient Coin (365g)

However, there is also Avarice Blade (800g) for AD champs. This is a littttle too expensive to buy right at level 1 for a support AD champ. I suggest either reworking Avarice Blade into a 365g equivalent if not just make a new item to build into it instead of Brawler's Gloves (400g). This way, should anyone want to go AD support for whatever reason they may have, it's more viable. Honestly, making a new item to build into Avarice Blade shouldn't be nearly as difficult as making a new 2800g item. In addition, crit on the gp5 item instead of attack damage is unappealing. Please change this.

Edit: "I don't think one of those exists." Exactly. That's my point. Wouldn't it be interesting to see someone do it? Why not make an item that can allow people to do just that?

Edit2: Also posted this on /r/leagueoflegends with same name.

I'm in agreement here. If nothing else, I'd like to know Riot's explanation. There may well be a good reason why encouraging AD supports is a bad idea. Having dabbled with Aatrox and Urgot in the role, however, I enjoy the possibility. Sure, I get by with other items on both of them but having a dedicated AD support item would add some welcomed variety.

I think crit gets to have GP5 for everyone because it is so unreliable.

I think Riot is making sure people do not go Meta Breaking Kill Lanes (Jarvan + Pantheon) by not providing items that support that kind of setup. Supports are Supports. Fighters are Fighters. Let's not mix roles.

You know what happens when you make an item that AD based champions can get at level 1 that gives them more gold? The AD Carry picks it up and moves into mid game quicker than they did before. This idea could very well bring back the "protect Doublelift (protect the ADC)" strategy that was rampant in season 3.
