So why is there not an armor and AD item?

Weathered··2 votes·293 views

We have AP and armor, AP and mr, AD and mr, but no AD and armor. Not sure why, and it leaves more damage centered bruisers a lack of choice for item builds other than building a full defense armor item later in builds. Maybe an item similar to Maw could be added? Thoughts?

Because every bruiser would build it, and they already have enough super strong items.

well and AP have the right to build AP/AD AP/MR items. I mean if you build it too its pretty OP if you're facing an another AP champ in lane. why don't ad champs have the right to do that.

And AD champs have the right to build AD/MR items, so I'm not sure why that was put in there. And their items are actually a lot better for it.

And the AP/MR items aren't that good...at all. Hence why they're rarely built. Wouldn't be worth it to have a shitty stat AD/Armor item.

Wich one among item 3157 item 3001 item 3174 is "rarely built"?

Athene is a classic first buy in AP vs AP lane, for those that cannot use RoA well.

I'm not sure what else you could ask for as a bruiser? Nor did I say, "too strong", so I'm not sure why you're mentioning that.

Isn't that more of an armor/AP item since it does magic damage lol?

AD and health items tend to fill the void.

This. If you want just a bit of tankyness in an offensive item, HP are good. If you really want armor, make a full defense item. If you don't want to make a full defense item at all, go for lifesteal, not tankyness.

There are AP/Resistance items because APCarries need them. ADC just build lifesteal, and AD bruisers can effectively use full defense items.
