Do you guys think Armor and Magic Resist need a change or rework?

Honestly as a person who enjoys tanks and bruisers I really feel like resistances are hardly helping, especially MR for some reason. Whenever a mage gets fed I find myself having to stack two MR items just because the first one hardly helped. I'd like to know others opinions on this as well.

No. Resistances are fine as is. It's like people think they should be invulnerable to damage after building a single defensive item

I have built cloth armor! I shall stroll into this battle with all 5 enemy champions, kill one of them, then walk away like the skilled badass I am.

So because a someones builds one damage items means they get to shred through the single tank item that I bought? How is that even alright?

At least buff them to be 100% gold efficient before passives.

MR alone isnt going to save you from a fed ap champ. if it is a typical mage they are more burst then dps so HP is key with MR .

as a tank if you can survive their entire burst rotation then you did your job.

most mages cant kill tanks unless stupid ahead or have dps in their kits.

Listen, I'm not saying it should make you god but it should def do what its was intended to do. Reducing damage. But with how magic pen staying the same and void staff still being over tuned. Also most defensive items I'm referring have HP and MR incorporated into them. Even then I thought it was common sense.

They suck something fierce. Most of the time it buys you just long enough to not be able to use one more skill. Tanks need to be CC machines that absorb tremendous damage while dealing almost none. Riot gave them too much damage, so it needs to be reduced before armor and mr can be relevant.

No, there needs to be less true damage, armor pen and magic pen in the game.

I can agree with this actually. I'm more curious why they didn't rework magic pen as they did with Armor pen. Perhaps there was some specific reason I just don't remember.

Remove Void Staff and Last whisper+upgrades.

Adjust armor/MR accordingly.

Removing 30%+ of someone's gold value is never going to be balanced.


There is no universe where both deathcap and void staff can be bought mutually and not be overbearing, even with significant MR.

Same with IE + LW upgrades.


On top of that, the fact that % pen champion passives stack with LW/VS is utterly ridiculous.

No. %pen needs to be tuned the fuck down.
