Ranged item for melees

Been thinking about this a lot lately. How come there is no item (that is melee exclusive like tiamat items) who's active is to grant ranged auto attacks for X seconds (maybe even change the attack speed to a fixed value like 1.5?) Just a thought :D

EDIT: a lot of people misunderstand my concept and thats my fault cuz i didnt add a few stuff i forgot about

  1. Does not carry on-hit effects from either other items or abilities (Udyr E, Zed passive, etc)
  2. It is an ACTIVE, which means it has a long cooldown, and a certain time for it to work
  3. Animation wise: idk, but im guessing some sort of runaans type projectile. the auto animation is still the same but it is extended

For the Rioters who may see this: Was this concept ever an option in the dev circle?

Because it would be stupidly broken?

Another reason why is probably because most melee champions do not have a ranged auto attack animation. For example, what would it look like for Darius to have a 500 range auto attack?

That said, Rapidfire Cannon can be purchased on melee champions, but the bonus range on the empowered auto attack is rather small.

No thanks I don't wanna be point-click stunned by Udyr or point clicked hard poke from Ekko passive or Got Stacked by Darius for free
