JuStTeX, you're insane.

Let's take Garen as an example. His main source of damage is his E, the famed spin. It's physical damage that scales on 110% of your AD, so the Brutalizer is already a serious enabler for Garen, between the pen, AD, and CDR. The spin doesn't proc on-hit effects, so it uses spellvamp (not an easy stat to get for an AD champion with no AP scaling at all); furthermore, a short range means that Garen has to survive in the opponent's face for the duration. Suddenly, you are spinning for an incredible amount of damage per second and healing off of it, too.

No, it isn't exceptional on any one of those stats, and your typical ADC relies on autoattacks for the bulk of his/her damage, but it's still very much useful for short-range AD casters like Garen who are already rather intimidating on maps like the Twisted Treeline.
