An AP + Armor item ideas.

Since people have been complaining a lot about AP +armor items not being there for mages. I thought I might as well get to creating a concept for one that people can decide is good or not.

Hextech Power Armor is meant to be an anti ADC armor that scales with the AP you gain, so it will become your core Armor item if you have to deal with a lot of sustained physical damage. The Armor scaling they get from the AP they have will help to make it a good single defensive item to have against sustained and crit based damage dealers.

Hextech Power Armor:

Cost: 2800 g

Build Path: item 3082+ item 1052 +item 1026

40 Armor 70 Ability power.

UNIQUE : -10% critical damage. UNIQUE - Cold Steel: When hit by basic attacks, reduces the attacker's attack speed by 15% for 1 second. UNIQUE - Mage Armor Generator: Grant 8% of your Total AP as armor.

Malicious bladebreaker is more akin toitem 3053 and item 3156, meant to be the ultimate FUCK YOU to assassins that think they can have it easy against mages as it's the only item that grants a physical shield and a large on at that to halt burst.

Malicious bladebreaker:

Cost: 3200

Build Path: item 3191 +item 1026

80 AP 60 Armor

UNIQUE - Lifeline: When you fall below 30% Health, you gain a 200+120 AP physical shield for 5 seconds UNIQUE - Blade Breaker(Triggered by Lifeline): Reduces physical damage done to the user by 15% for 5 seconds

Both these items in theory should make life easier for mages, both for squishy ones that need that one item to survive and for battle mages that want to really feel tanky.

but I hope you mages in the mid lane like these suggestions, peace.

I want it be more for battle mages rather than Mages in general giving more survivanility to ranged midlaner is imo not the right way.

Having an effect:

Last champ that you damaged does 12% less damage to you(similar to phantom dancer).

Being a battle mage is already quite a risk for being a squishy who needs to basically go on you to do damage.

Battle mages honestly need more movement burst akin to what fighters and juggernauts get with TF and BC.

Both the suggested items are cool, the passives are too strong together. Power armor should either have the -10% crit OR Mage Armor Generator, and Bladebreaker should not have Lifeline. Instead give the physical shield to a different item so it's not so slot efficient. Imagine buying these two items with zhonyas and a randuins in their current suggested state? Lol. Zed what Zed.

Well I think the crit defense should be removed but the Break breaker should have a lingering effect just like other lifeline items since Maw's lifeline secondary is meant to power through to get a kill at low HP and possibly sustain one up until they can leave combat while sterak's is meant to keep one active throughout getting focused.

If the first one ever became an actual item I would just quit mid lane
