AD Ranged Casters?

I have been trying to figure this out and I come to the conclusion that there are no TRUE AD casters (think of it as a mage that scales with AD but doesn't have a good auto attack). I understand the argument could be made that there is no point in an AD caster's abilities if they can just AA someone to death just as quickly as a Sivir or a Vayne, but assassins like Zed and Talon who scale with AD rarely ever AA someone to death because their kits allow them to burst you down and get out quickly still build AD. Anyway I want to know if I'm overlooking obvious AD "mages" that are already in the game but aren't populate because of one reason or another.

PS I'm not sure if this should go in Concepts and Creations or not

Jayce. He's not going to auto anyone to death, and a nontrivial amount of his damage comes when he's at range. Of course, he's melee half the time.

Varus. He can build ADC, but he can also build AD / Lethality / CDR and go purely for his Qs. That was pretty much how he was played for most of 2016 (and as a midlaner, at that.)
