Why are there only two AP Defensive Items?

Don't get me wrong.

But there are only two viable AP Defensive Items in the game.

item 3065 anditem 3194

These are the only two items you can buy if you face like three mages in the game. (If you're a tank or a bruiser)

I kinda wish there would be more, but when I try and look up for armor items, I find...

item 3068 (which is top tier atm)

item 3075item 3742 item 3143 item 3025 item 3110

Don't come at me with these items, since they're dead and not in meta right now.

item 3512 item 3056 item 3193

(FoN means Force of Nature, it had 90 MR)

I think the 3 MR tank items are actually stronger than the armor items due to their passives. If you think they are bad, just look at the image I linked in the other post. You can't tell me that MR items are bad when I am able to mitigate 233k damage in 34 minutes. That is 144 damage per second that I didn't take. I'm not saying more variety of items is a bad thing because sometimes the 3 passives are too situational to be made use of, but to say that they need a buff is a lie.

Yup. Terrible and lacking MR Items + Voidstaff existing invalidates Tanks. Yes they can become unkillable...against AD Champs, since they have very good and cheap Items. MR Items are more expensive AND worse, since most of the budget gets eaten, hillarious enough, by the HP Regen provided.

item 3193 actually is a pretty decent tank item if you can build hp with it....

Even without the active, youre looking at** 80 mr and 80 armor.**..

Thats a item 3075 + item 3065 and item 3111 in terms of resistances on a single item alone.

A good strategy to use gargoyle is to build item 3083 with it so that you can walk up, use the active to survive whatever burst is gonna come to you, then regen it all back while the fight continues without you for a bit.
