The ADC vs bruiser idea has been around long ago, but never ever become popular; while the AP top is actually a thing in S3. Why? Because most AP top has great mobility, can be build tanky, or have some form of innate tankiness. Their damage finally might not exceed the mid laner (not always true, look at Ryze), but respectable, and they still have some tank-ability, good cc or AoE damage or superior utility to be useful in team fight.

ADC, meanwhile can rarely build tanky (or they will deal shitty damage vs anything with just Sunfire). Their early game is extremely vulnerable to all in, tower dive. Some actually work fine (Most common: Urgot, Vayne & Quinn). The question is why bother using them? They are much easier to shut down, their poke is just about the same as an AP top, and they require a team effort to be useful late game.

The only ADC top that I find "good" is Urgot, for the reason that he pretty much sucks in other lane.
