Can we have a mana+MR item?

We have Frozen Heart and Iceborn Gauntlet, but no MR variants.

Edit: Since I wasn't clear, I literally just mean those two same items but with the Armor swapped for MR.

Since someone pointed it out, I also think there should be AD versions of Chalice/Athene's for mana-heavy AD solo laners that get magic champs picked against them.

Yeah, I mean literally just the same items as those two but with MR instead of armor.

Oh yeah, I'm sure what this game needs is yet another Tank item. Why not add Sheen to the recipe so it can do burst damage too? After all, that's what a Tank is all about nowadays.

Can we have a mana+MR item?

For everyone that isn't Ryze there's no significant difference between itemizing for MP/5 to have enough mana to cast things or itemizing for mana to have enough mana to cast things.

If Mana pools were so low you'd run OoM from casting 1 skill, or if you had no base MP/5 those 2 stats would have very different strengths and reasons to itemize for: but currently you have enough mana in bases to QWERQWER before running OoM and base MP/5 is high enough to throw out 1 Q every 30 seconds/minion wave to CS+harass+wave clear near indefinitely, making it extremely unlikely you'll be able to stay out in the field long enough to see any difference 1 way or the other concerning mana or MP/5 before you wind up loosing enough HP you need to B.

There's really no reason to have an MR+Mana item when item 3028 item 3174 already exist to fullfill the exact same purpose.

I would think that it would also matter for Singed players, and in all reality, having a larger mana pool affects item 3003 and item 3004 , so it's not unreasonable to think that there are champions/builds that would prefer a defensive MR item with flat mana.

I wouldn't mind a MR variant of Frozen Heart, as long as its base stats are a bit weaker with a lower price. It'd make it easier to resist Blitzcrank at Bot Lane, and the shared Passive would make it a nice counter to AP Hypercarry builds like with Tristana — at least at Early/Mid Game. Same decrease of stats with the MR Iceborn Gauntlet, because being able to reduce damage from Mages and then punish them (and close teammates) with lower Movement Speed (as well as the insane Mana increase) would pretty much make it a Staple for Mid Laners.
