@Riot, why not make tank item(s) with SCALING armor...?

Because they want tank stats to be reactive, not something you either have to rush (if you mean scaling like RoA), or something that's worthless before some arbitrary point in the game (if you mean the item scales off your level or game time)

I heard that tanks on PBE right now are getting slaughtered with the reduced health and barely any real increase in armor stats on the changed randuin's etc.

They could change one of the existing items like Randuin's or thornmail or whatever, and make it scale based off %hp or per level or something, that way tanks can still have a late game while making them more vulnerable early/mid.

Not sure what they're judging on pbe without the addition of the armor pen stats they were talking about. Any testing on pbe looking at defensive changes are pointless without the context of those changes.

Tank meta. Never Forget. Never Forgive. Never Again.

I would rather be in a meta where I get one shot every 5 seconds instead of the fucking wet noodle fight of S5 and S6

They could do something like what they did with lethality, but they are already toning down the %Reduction of Black Cleaver and Last Whisper (Plus its upgrades), so they might want to let that settle a bit
