New Tank Tenacity/CDR Item?

Silents429·3/15/2015, 2:23:35 AM·1 votes·797 views

I am hoping others can help expand on this, or point out my flawed thinking, but I feel like we need a new tank item with tenacity, CDR, and HP.

I am not good at calculating gold efficiency, but we are lacking in tenacity items, and no tenacity item for tanks exist apart from item 3111 but people prefer item 3009 item 3047 over that, and honestly the latter 2 are far more useful for tanks in most cases.

And obviously with the new tank item removing tenacity and CDR, It only feels right.

So. I will keep this basic. How about an item with this.

350HP 35% Tenacity 10% CDR

Again, Not good with gold efficiency or balance in general, Just wanted to get a foundation going.

I know we have the problem of bruisers taking tank items and them becoming rather strong with the item, So I figure we keep the HP bonus low enough to where a tank can see some use (With the jungle item giving bonus HP) but not to high where a bruiser would take it over a item 3143 .

What do you all think?

How about...

Piltover Percentilator

Builds out of Kindlegem (850g) + Crystalline Bracer (600g) + 1050g = 2500g total

500 Health 25% Base health regen 10% Cooldown reduction

UNIQUE Passive: Tenacity: The duration of stuns, slows, taunts, fears, silences, blinds and immobilizes are reduced by 35%. UNIQUE Passive: Percentilator: Damage taken based on a percentage of health is reduced by 10%.

It's rare that item 3009 are taken on a true tank over item 3111 item 3047, and the boot choice usually comes down to "who's fed first?" between enemy AP and AD carries.

Not gonna quote anybody since you're both wrong in a lot of ways.

  1. The simplest definition for a tank is whether you pick them for damage or CC, and Hec is picked more for damage.

  2. Merc Treads are shit on all tanks and the situation to build them on any tank is basically nonexistant since every team takes an ADC.

  3. We don't need a tenacity tank item since bruisers would abuse it more thank tanks.

Going to bed so don't expect a response for around 9 hours if you quote me
