"Assassins only have 3 lethality options"

Lethality Items Lethality items are core for a pretty big group of AD assassins and fighters, but with only Duskblade and Ghostblade commonly used, choices feel limited. We want to make Edge of Night a more attractive option and add a fourth choice to the lineup:

  • Duskblade is mostly the same.
  • Ghostblade is also mostly the same.
  • Edge of Night's spellshield now works like Banshee's Veil, which is a more straightforward effect that avoids the learning curve of an active item while also allowing for clearer counterplay opportunities for opponents.
  • Sanguine Blade is a new Lethality item that enables split pushing. Its unique passive grants a huge attack speed buff when no allies are nearby.
  • We’re also exploring a few other potential lethality item options that you may see on PBE.

Meanwhile, item 3001 item 3065 item 3194 and no mention of better/more MR options for tanks.

Having another option would be nice but to say that the MR items are bad is really dumb. A tank rushing a spirit visage against a mage basically invalidates the mage's existence. If a tank is in a game that warrants building all 3, they can get those with a warmog's and become unkillable. I think Riot is hesitant to add another MR/health option for that very reason. A tank can already become practically immortal against mages while still having an open slot.

Seriously, my best bet against casters is pretty much health at this point.

The point is that there are literally only those regardless of your opinions on effectiveness of the items. item 3512 item 3193 also give a nice chunk of Magic resist. Do you have to like them? Who cares they at least exist.

I mean it would be nice actually it would be great to have more mr items since they are actually pretty bad.

I was playing poppy vs cho and there was also a cass. It felt awful since all the mr items don't help ad champions amd they all suck as a first time.

Look at sunfire it give damage to help with trading but also hp and some armor but it's not a tanky as other items that is what tanks want for a first item since they need damage more not to be tanky.

Even for ap tanks they're not good. item 3001 this is the only one that can be built every game on every tank. The rest can't item 3065 o your champion has no healing so the passive doesn't do anything, item 3194 none of the enemies can proc it welp it doesn't do anything then.

They all give the same fucking stat line too low mr for high hp.
