Is an ADC with ammunition possible to exist in league ( other than Jhin etc )

so i played a game of heroes of the storm some time ago ( that blizzard MOBA if you don't know ) and there is are several champions that have like to reload like Jhin but not like his "less shots -> more dmg per shot" but "many shots -> much less dmg per shot" so i was thinking if there is a possibility that we see that kind of champion in the future in league too but i don't think so.

HOTS does't have items ( that's why i find it boring ) so if a certain character has let's say a minigun like Jinx has, It has not 250 AD and 2,0 AS but 25 AD and 20 AS but that can't be possible in league that way, you would need to add a passive that deactivates on-hit effects like item 3153 item 1043 item 3085 item 3124 and AD must be split upon the attacks to match the DPS in general so it's pretty hard to develop such a champion just by the way he auto attacks.

Jhin and Graves are hard to balance around that, but you doesn't need to think about having to much "stack adding stuff" because they attacks slower than normal marksman so said if a champion could hit you 30 times within 3 sec dealing 50 dmg per hit for example that would make it a hard time balancing in terms how it interacts with thing like Braum passive like Lucian stacks that up waaay faster than Jhin does.

So it would be pretty hard to design that properly and there is no real sense why you would want that design in terms how half the ADC items are build around on-hit effects you'd need to disable for that certain champion.

what do you guys think ?

I think its a bad idea to compare graves and jhin at this point. Jhin is in my opinion one of the best designed champions bringing his own unique style of adc in to the rift, while graves is kind of an assassin and the cap of the bullets just prevents him form doing that high burst dmg the whole time. But i don't think riot will release another champion with bullets any time soon, because every new champion needs be unique with a kind of skillset that no other champ has (riot logic).

I actually think it would be cool to have another champion like that. I am actually in the midst of creating a champion concept for an ADC that buys different bullets types at the store and gets about x shots before they have to refill in the same way that Jhin does.

I think you already mentioned all problems (on hit interactions being the most prominent), but coming from a different side, what exactly would that kind of mechanic add to the champion ?

If you look at it a certain way Xayah basically loads rounds of special ammo every time she casts an ability...
