Attack speed tank items?

I was playing Aatrox earlier and was trying a few builds (tanky/bruiser) and found myself wondering why there aren't any tank/AS items, like steraks gage but with attack speed instead of AD. A few champions would probably benifit from attack speed tanks itemsAatrox Gnar Irelia Jax Olaf Shyvana Trundle Udyr Volibear Warwick. It would also be good during the rune rework in the future since some of the champs that run attack speed runes may not have room for an attack speed item in their build.

Do you even comprehend what a terrible idea that would be? Not only would it throw champions like Malphite and Darius into hypercarry territory, you can bet champions like Vayne and Kalista would abuse the item(s) right into the geound just like they did Sterak's gage, Ninja tabi and Dorans shield. We tanks cant have nice things.

Because tanks aren't meant to build attack speed and auto their enemies to death. Those champions you listed are all Juggernauts or some other tanky, high damage classes.
