We need more Magic Damage Tank items

Possibly something like "your magic damage spells do bonus damage based on your maximum health" really only giving you a significant boost at like 1000+ bonus health to stop bruisers from abusing it

Possibly reworking Abyssal Scepter, or making a new tank version of it, to give AP+MR+Health plus that passive.

I can only imagine how silly this would be on someone like Mordekaiser

Well when a champ is poorly designed they tend to abuse everything even remotely fun

While I half agree with you, I feel it important to point out that if you're playing a dedicated tank, you shouldn't be worried about your damage output. And if you're playing a fighter, there are actually plenty of options for that.

Why would I pick something like Nautilus when he has no damage mid or late game compared to Bruisers? I can pick Jarvan, Lee, Rek, Vi with 4 tank items + one damage item + boots and be just as tanky and as useful in teamfights as Naut while being better at pushing, ganking, dueling and sieging.

Magic damage brusiers have no real way to scale or really be relevant. So they have CC and natural tankiness, why does it matter when they cant do anything else or even provide damage? Sure they will never outdamage a fighter, but even supports can outdamage some of the tank junglers and tops.

There's two kinds of tank in this game, invincble CC bots like Naut and Ali and more damage based tanks with slightly less CC or durability like Sej or Amumu. The second kind of tank would love an item like this, as well as some HP based fighters like Shen and Voli.

Luckily, I prefer playing the second type.

I think a solid way to approach an item like this would be to have it apply a DOT effect, as a fighter can't have it proc more often through a weird Wits End/HP stack build. I'd look at building it a little like this

Atma's Impaler

item 3024 + item 1057 + item 1029 + 700 gold (2800 total)

50 Armour 50 MR 10% CDR Unique passive> Dealing damage to an enemy causes them to take 6% of your bonus HP as magic damage over 3 seconds, 1.5x effect against targets afflicted by CC. Does not proc off of Liandry's Torment damage. Total stat value=2317 gold, 82.75% gold efficent.

This item becomes incredibly effective on a champ with stacked HP offering them the passive and a huge E/HP increase. As a rush it is highly inefficient however due to its bonus HP scaling and lack of HP to power itself with.
