People weren't "bagging" on it because a pro doesn't do it. They were criticizing it because, for the most part, this is such a subpar way to play the champion. There are plenty of other champions that can fill the role you're looking to fill far better. Yes, you could totally play him AD. But you could also play fiddlesticks AD. Or ADC Annie. They work, right? I've seen people win games! They got kills! Yes, it can work. Anything can. The question isn't "Does this work the one time I did it?" The question is "does this work reliably, or can I better use this champion differently?" AD thresh is bad because you're basically taking a champion with no significant AD scaling and piling on attack speed and on-hit effects. Its doofy, but not effective.
