Why not make Tough Skin an inverted Fresh Blood?

Block 10+1 per level damage from champion basic attacks every six seconds.

That or let it block Minion damage so it is at least good for something.

Yes, more or less. At level 18 you would block 28 damage (post armor reduction) from a basic attack with a 6 second cooldown. It would be an exact mirror of Fresh Blood.

That's an understandable reason to be confused.

It's -2 damage after armor.

If your opponent has 70ish AD and you have 35ish armor, it reduces your 52ish modded damage taken to 50ish which results in about a 4-5 bonus armor against your opponent.

It looks tiny, but it honestly is about as useful as the other two. The siegemaster isn't useful unless you're pushed under your tower. Explorer isn't very useful unless you're roaming or can contest brush control. If your matchup doesn't involve at least one of those two scenarios, Tough Skin is honestly pretty decent early on for its position in the tree.

Its the fact that riot wants damage to be the primary stat on every champion.

You don't understand how broken it would be to ignore minion damage in lane, it would actually be ridiculous. You think top lane bullies are bad now, imagine teemo walking up to you and poisoning the fuck outta you and not having minions be able to touch him
