There isn't a single tank cooldown + mana + MR item

For tanks who need cooldown and mana (like Sion) vs an AD top: item 3025 for offense item 3110 for defense

For those same tanks vs an AP top: crickets

Can we please get something to fill this gap? First item for mana-reliant tanks vs AP top lane is miserable. I mean, Iceborn Gauntlet literally doubles Sion's mana at level 6. The mana is really important. Tank abilities are not cheap.

That item would break mid lane tbh.

It'd be frostborne meta all over again.

Why are you needing it? The presence of a gap doesn't necessitate the gap being filled. Sion has very cheap mana costs tbh. The shield is the only thing remotely expensive (and deservingly so).

Consider this, most tanks deal AP damage and most (all?) have mana. So if they rushed this they would be able to spam and take much less damage from the opposing tank. All without giving anything up. Basically it makes a much faster wet noodle fight. If one has no kill pressure and can't force the opponent out of mana it results in a stale, non-interactive lane.

AND just like that Galio is Broken.

Pretty sure Ryze would love more items that build mana... This is something to think about as in it could backfire in a bad way.

He has plenty to choose from already. Tanks have 0 to choose from.

In fact, ryze top is a bad offender. What do tanks do vs him? Sit back and use harsh language, most likely.

Those runes do not look very good!
