Because the AS bonus is pretty much a non-factor until late game and even at this point TF bonus AS is pretty bad compared to all the other AS steroids.

Don't tell me stacked deck dmg is great for harass because it's pretty much cait passive without cait range.

Stacked deck can't crit, convert everything to magic dmg and it's doesn't really scale off ad. It's not bonus dmg on your next attack, it's your ad + the bonus dmg converted into magic dmg to replace your attack.

Talking about magic dmg, all is ability do magic dmg and scale of AP. You can't compare TF to tristana, she as better range, an insanly better AS steroid and her dmg ability have effect that make them usefull all game. On the other hand it's pretty useless to Q late game with AD TF since your AA will deal more dmg.

You can still ult in ppl face with stun card as AD TF, but that's pretty much all you'll be doing because you lack long rang harass that AP TF has.

You can still push lane as AD TF but minions waves will take longer to clear and you won't take down turret any faster than AP TF. In fact you won't be able to burst turret like AP TF does with lich bane.

The only advantage to AD TF is that you get more mana from your blue card. But you could get AD runes early on AP TF, it ain't bad if you can AA your opponent.

So to answer your question : Of course you can still play AD TF, but there's no reason to.

TL; DR;

all magic dmg, no ad ratio (w isn't bonus dmg), no crit on W, E is non-factor early, E is barely kind of nice late game, AP TF does everything better with more range.

You can play AD TF just like I can play AP Warwick, it's fun for 1 game but any decent player will destroy you.
