The future of Magic Resistance for tanks?

GigglesO··2 votes·393 views

With the upcoming nerfs to magic resistance items for tanks, I was wondering what everyone thoughts were? The way I see it, actual tanks already pretty much only have two "real choices" item 3065 item 3102, and with those items getting nerfed in both slot efficiency and hard stats it just seems like the tanks of the tanks will have a harder time with MR paths against extreme nuke.

This also inadvertently nerfs Galio and champions that don't use item 3001 /item 3156 item 3139 and item 3060 .

Well, the thing about those two is that SV is a catchall and BV is good vs initiations, but both pretty much equally good everywhere. You're also forgetting Locket which is great vs aoe.

Now if you look at the armor options: SF gives offense Randuin's is amazing vs ADC DMP is good for bruisers FH gives great armor multiplication and tank stats but fails to give anything vs non-physical TM needs tons of armor and really only works vs ADC IBG needs armor to be amazing is basically a shift of Randuin's to being more niche

It doesn't matter how fed the enemy is, what kind of playstyle they have, what comp they have, or basically anything; if they have magic damage, you build SV or BV. That's it. That's why there are few MR options. Adding more would be redundant. That's why SV and BV are getting gutted in certain ways to help differentiate them.
