Remove Tenacity from all items and add it deep into the defensive mastery tree

And have it scale up throughout the game to give the equivalent of Mercs or something by like level 9-10. Remove swifties and apply their slow reduction passive on mercs.

Thoughts?

The only champions building Mercs are champions who'd spec pretty heavy into the defensive tree anyway, aside from a few melee fighters like Jax, Irelia (let's be honest, does she need it), and so on. Idk, it's just a thought. It's like I said, tenacity as an item tying into MR usually makes sense but at this point, I find myself purchasing Mercs for the tenacity and not the MR, and it feels underwhelming given how rampant CC is in this game while wanting to still survive late game ADC DPS (tabis are really nice for this).

Dear god no. With all the CC in the game, it'd be terrible. The only way I'd even remotely condone it is to give it 30%/40%/50% tenacity in the tree.

Well it's not that I want tenacity weak, I actually would prefer tenacity to be more of a tank/fighter feature.

The pros are that defensive fighters and tanks greatly benefit from it. It would still be quite a bit of tenacity, equivalent to let's say running tenacity in the defensive tree + Mercs. The reason I say this is because in almost all situations, I'd rather keep ninja Tabi for the the reduced damage you take from auto attacks (that shit is super significant). But with CC being as regularly available as it is, taking Tabi is almost always something I end up selling for Mercs later in the game, which kind of sucks.

The cons are some offensive fighters who run heavy into the offensive tree take a nerf because of this since they'd have to spec really far into the defensive tree.

Honestly, it's just a proposal. The thing is tenacity is a necessity at this point but even when you get it (spending money on mercs unless you're one of the few champs who can benefit from zephyr), it still feels greatly underwhelming.
