The scaling buff to Judgement isn't really noticeable early on. If you built AD before, there's no reason not to now. It's mostly a mid-game buff since you need 50 AD to match your damage previously, with a slight bonus due to crits applying only to bonus damage. Because of this, if you want to counter balance their change, then you go for AD runes for better early damage and slightly worse mid-late game damage. Or you can embrace the change and you'll do slightly less early but noticeably more mid-late.

Note: By better early damage, I mean something like level 1~3 maybe upwards of 5. After which armor pen will probably do more for your cause than straight attack damage runes.
