AD based support champion

ive been wanting this for awile now, especially after last seasons, rampant morgana meta. A dedicated support champion that deals physical damage with their abilities. CALM DOWN im not talking that the abilities scale with AD, just that they do physical damage. perhaps scale off of an abstract stat, like HP, or resistance. and considering the current meta maybe it could be a tanky CC based kit. im just really bored with every support being AP. it doesnt allow for much decision making in picks. basically you just decide if you need a Tanky cc champ or a pokey utility champ.

Taric
physical damage scales with armor (only the heal and ult scale with ap) but his main damage (w) scales with armor and his ult gives him and allies bonus AD

Firat The Benevolence

Innate - Furious Warrior

Gains 5/8/10 AD Per Allied Champion Nearby. When a nearby allied champion is injured (below 40% health,) Firat gains double the stats gained and gains 10%/15%/20% attack speed.

Q - Give And Take - Cooldown: 10 seconds from shield breaking.

Firat shields target ally for 50/70/80/100/120 (+.25 Bonus AD) for 10 seconds. Firat may end the shield at any time. If he does Firat gains the shield instead. The duration is reset.

Attacking an enemy champion or tower will recharge the shield by 10/13/17/21/25, up to its maximum strength.

W - Service and Servitude - Cooldown: 10 seconds

First cast - Firat creates a smoke screen that acts as brush for 5 seconds.

Second Cast - Firat gains 10%/12%/15%/20%/25% Movement Speed.

Third Cast - Firat gains 5%/8%/10%/13%/15% additional MR and armor.

E - Cross Strike - Cooldown: 5 Seconds

Firat does an additional 20/35/60/75/90 (+.5 Bonus AD) damage on his next autoattack.

If Firat has a shield, he heals himself and nearby allied champions for half the damage done.

If Firat has his shield on an ally, cross strike stuns the target for .5 seconds.

R - Balance - Cooldown 90/80/70

Passive: Firat has a 15%/25%/35% chance to block small projectiles that either target him or move through him, and an additional 50% chance when a projectile is blocked to deflect it back at the enemy who launched it. This effect cannot occur when this skill is on cooldown.

Active: Firat throws his sword, at a target enemy champion. If it hits, it deals 100/150/200 (+.25 AD) to the target. The sword remains embedded in the enemy for ten seconds, revealing the target. If an ally pulls the sword from the enemy, the ally is healed for 20% of the damage done.

If an ally was cured of being injured during this effect, the cooldown is reset.

Honestly I see no problem with a support champion using AD. I think Alistar should scale with AD and health rather than AP, as it would make more sense thematically. Nothing says a support can't use AD but can use AP. Right now the only time I've seen an AD support is Jarvan and Lee Sin, and those are rare off-meta picks.

Thresh is often done AD though he still deals a lot of magic damage that way.

Ashe and Gangplank are AD supports, if only secondary. Ashe was even rather popular for a time.

Warwick is only missing the support tag (but again he is doing magic damage)
