After Omen changes the game seems to be lacking a good all around defensive armor + health item

Ohmwrecker currently does not have a good reason to be bought in bascially any situation.

Perhaps make Ohmwreaker do something like reduce the next physical damage from a champion by 35% (25 second cooldown) Cooldown is reduced by 1.5 seconds when dealing single target damage to enemies .5 seconds for AoE abilities.

Remove the turret debuff active. It is not often useful with how the game is these days where mid to late game tanks take 20+ turret shots and are still above half health.

Keep the build path as is or at most add another ruby crystal to it, up the health to 450 and up the total cost to 3000 if a ruby crystal is added.

Give this item a reason to be bought.

What's wrong with Deadmans Plate? It gives plenty of health and armor.

I am talking purely defensive focused and not limited to countering auto attackers.

Deadmans and Sunfire both have clearly offensives power to them.

I want a item that I can feel confident building against a full AD team. Omen is good against crit and Frozen heart is good for attack speed but there is nothing to contend with casters.

The armor item you build against AD casters is Thornmail. It's very cheap and gives you a huge amount of physical damage reduction for its cost. Its passive is irrelevant, the item is designed through stats and cost to negate large amounts of burst.

I think that's mostly the point. Riot doesn't want a good general defense item. That's why they focused sunfire into being a waveclear item and why they made Randuins focus more on crit countering.

Then make Ohmwrecker into the Anti AD caster item

Implying real AD casters do shit late game nowadays.

Fairly sure that Riven still hurts late game

Sure she does. But it's definitely not fair to list off someone who builds all lifesteal and no lethality as an AD caster when she basically has no cooldowns she has to play around, unlike actual AD casters.

Countering AD casters is...building armor and health. AD casters already are pretty weak against tanks. And if you had an item like the ohmwrecker you suggested, it would most certainly used by adcs (or any squishy really) to counter assassins. It would go down exactly like release steraks gage. If the situation arises where you want to counter a mostly ad team, you'll likely go randuins or thornmail anyway to counter the biggest threat: the adc.
