in the upcoming diver or tank class update, will magic resist items be looked at?

resumed··2 votes·583 views

currently the only magic resist options for tanks is item 3065 and item 3102, which is much more useful for a squishy trying not to get caught out than a tank in a prolongued fight and the armor options? tonnes item 3742 item 3110 item 3025 item 3068 item 3143 item 3075

the only way for a tank to get more magic resist is if tanks star building support items and items with no health component like item 3190 item 3512

we still need a pure magic resist item like there are pure armor, health, ap, and ad items there are so many item combinations that are could be utilized and there is so much room to grow with tank itemization

Spirit visage gives health, healing, magic resist and cdr, everything a tank in a prolonged fight needs in a defensive item

that doesnt mean we only need one good mr tank item

a cassiopeia is still going to melt you if your build looks like thisitem 3065 item 3143 item 3068 item 3111 item 3742 item 3512

If it's a vanguard update I expect a heavy update of defensive itemization.

ye that's the thing

divers still use defensive items all the time vi, hecarim, nocturne etc build item 3143 and item 3742 all the time

so it's not out of this world to expect some defensive item changes that tanks could use

True, but I think a diver update would focus more on offensive itemization than it would defensive itemization compared to a vanguard update.

yes, probably new items with a mix of offense and defense, something like item 1057 + item 3052 or item 3191 + item 1026 would all be great

Problem is divers leech off defensive items created for true tanks

gotta remember hp counters most mages too, so making too many hp+mr items will make them pretty useless

Yeah, but ever since the removed Force of Nature, Galio got a nerf. Bring back high HP MR items and make Galio a god again!

It's mostly because AD champs damage is unavoidable since their main source of damage is from autos, mages have to land abilities

Not to mention many AD champs have armor shred build into their kits such as Vayne or Yasuo, not to mention item 3036
