I know that you can build 
on tanks and that it offers stats that are great (AP, health, mana. More of an AP bruiser item honestly). But I wish we had a tank item that would get stronger has the game progresses in the same way. Giving us more armor and MR the more time goes by.
Just a thought.

TTK Dreadnought5 votesi was thinking the other day about a cinderhulk for resists. I left it as total armor/mr so that you get value off it immediately similar to how cinderhulk includes it's own health.
like 300 Health +15% Armor +15% Magic Resist
note: i have no clue what would build into it since cinderhulk is only made from bami cinder and a jungler item unless i trade the health for flat resists like this
40 Armor
40 Magic Resist
+15% Bonus Armor
+15% Bonus Magic Resist
+ 
+520gold
oSEXYPLATYPUSo2 votesmaybe have the 3 basic core items be 
and then you build into 
into the final item giving 400 hp 40 armor and 40 mr + 15% bonus hp +15% bonus armor +15% bonus mr
oSEXYPLATYPUSo2 votesso you have the cost of 800 for and 720 for and 1000 for for a cost of 2520 and say plus 680 for a total cost of 3200 making it a real commitment of gold to get item and by having to upgrade into 3 tiers champs who abuse "tank items" wouldnt be cost effective for them.
NineTailedMystic2 votesBy doing this, you would basically necessitate this item for Tanks.

How do you kill something with (1.) 1725 bonus hp, 132 ar, 125 mr or (2.) 1380hp, 181 ar, and 161 mr. That is super tanky and would make malphite, rammus and gaio incredibly strong.

New: 
Make total cost appropriate for its recipe
Active is same as old RG but it's MS boost/slow has armor/MR scaling and caps out at a reasonable spot. This way bruisers can't abuse it and it's an additional mana/hp item for tanks that give them better team wide initiation if needed.
Irelia Bot3 votesYou ask for what Warmogs was in season 2.
Started off wit ha decent amount of health but you would get more from minion and champion kills and it maxed at like something like 1350 health.
Big Lincoln1 votesi don't really know what that'd accomplish
usually when you want defensive stats, you want them ASAP, not to get the full gold value over time. there'd have to be a better passive to reward your gold sink than just some extra MR and armor; by the time it would finish, your enemies would probably have enough penetration to nullify it.
UberAffe1 votesUnless is its passive was just some amount of overall damage reduction.

Not sure what scaling items really offer. Looking at RoA and Arch angle staff, they don't really offer better stats than other items when fully stacked, so it's not a late game item. however, they are usually early game purchases, and have a comparitively lower cost.
So scaling items as such would likely offer a mid game power spike. Is that a powercurve a Tank will want? would it be oppressive if tanks had such a power curve?

"arch angel"
"don't really offer better stats"
Not taking into account rabba passive, archangel easily gives the most ap an item you can ever get on any mana champion.
Anu3isII7 votesAnd a powerful active too. That shield is a huge deal when you fight Assassins/Burst Mages.
Big Lincoln2 votesRoA mostly offers a myriad of stats at the same time that all appeal to mages and fit their natural power curve, while also being very gold efficient late game.
Tank itemization is suited to having a strong mid game and being terrible early/late and also being gold inefficient, I don't think Riot would want an item that completely shifts that dynamic

The reward is an expensive tank item that can actually scale on par with expensive carry items so that tanks can invest even if only a little bit in a late game as well.

It's not like anyone is buying it... Many ADCs completely skip LW (and then complain that they do no dmg to champions with armor) and if they get it, they prefer the other upgrade route.

The Yetii Rider1 votesThere's only two items in the game that give both armor and MR. Neither of them also give health.
It's too much slot efficiency.
