Pre-rework Trist had no AD scalings, only AP ones and she was a premier hypercarry, while post rework she lost that lategame power, while gaining an AD scaling spell. ADC power, especially lategame is defined by their range and synergy with crit and attack speed, so Kog having a single AD scaling bears no significance. Sure ADC with multiple AD scaling spells have a stronger laning phase/midgame (Lucian, Graves, Corki, etc) but with no steroids or crit synergy the spell damage will fall off. Kog has 3 absurdly potent steroids, massive spell range with his ult and a full damage kit. He's likely the strongest pure damage carry in the game and he's one of the few champions where's he has one of the best lategames, either in AD (extreme DPS and tankbusting power)  or AP (massive poke and burst power).
