And here is some quick current tank item feedback

item 3742 Favorite favorite item <3

item 3075 Mixed feelings. I can definitely see a shift in power with this item.

item 3068 Decent all around item.

item 3110 This is a good item however i find it more of a support tank item idk why i just never feeeel the urge to buy this item.

item 3025 Another good item .. but it doesn't feel thematically correct ? i never build this item since the passive doesn't satisfy my play style and it does not give you any HP. Feels meh to me.

item 3512 2nd favorite, there is ALOT of shit you can do with this item, very underrated item. Theres a lot of hidden stuff you can pull off with the active that doesn't involve the vodlings.. ill leave that to you guys to figure out what i mean ;)

item 3143 Oh i forgot about this item. I wish it was more of a hard CRIT counter like you take 20% less damage from critical strikes but compensate and lower the base stats and active.

item 3075 should just copy blademail tbh, it'll never be in a good state when it's just passive damage.

item 3110 should probably have an active too, maybe not though

Personally, I think a lot of Tanks need more reliance on their spells for waveclear, rather than items like Sunfire. While it can certainly help with wave clear on tanks that lack strong AoE, (like Shen) It also invites those Bruiser builds by the likes of Ekko or Fizz, since a defensive item still gives them enough wave clear to function. But a Tank like Sion, can Wave clear with his Q, and he can maintain his ability usage with Frozen Heart, because it serves as a caster tank item.

The main problem I see with Frozen Heart, is that you only have one CDR item building into it. making it something to be desired until you finish it. And since ICB now has 20% CDR, people build that over Frozen Heart.

Personally for me, I feel like Thornmail should serve as a capstone item for Armor. Now it kinda does this, by applying 25% of Bonus Armor to the return damage, but it should double down on it's position as a capstone item.
