Dead Man's Plate Concept

I really feel like the Dead Man's Plate item that is in the new game mode Black Market Brawlers would be an awesome incorporation into the Rift. It benefits a lot of tanks and slow moving champions that have a hard time getting into a team fight if they are far away (like Naut).

Obviously it would need some tweaking to be the "perfect" new item since it would bring a whole new aspect to the game (I.e making tanks a larger threat in the game).

I was thinking that we could have this item concept into the game (Yes, I know Mobility Boots allow slow moving champs get to places quicker, but it doesn't help much in the middle of a team fight and are unreliable in chases since they lose movement speed based on taking damage in any form).

Anyways, if you can think of anything better or wanna express your opinion, go ahead. Peace!

I've actually worked out how to solve that problem. Since it isn't a percentage of movement speed, it is a flat rate, so if we keep that flat rate and change the movespeed based on Hec's scaling, then, at some point, it would become balanced out at some point. It would only take some time for Riot to buff/nerf accordingly, but I think they can handle it!

EDIT: Since Hec's passive is based off of perectage of his bonus movement speed, if it is at a flat rate, then there is less of a problem, BUT the 60 movement speed at 100 stack is a bit much so maybe 45 - 50 is a reasonable number AND if we remove the other passive then it should be a more balanced item. Sorry if it was wordy!!

I'm not actually sure whether it was designed as a damage item for tanks, or a tank item for fighters.

Though I would guess the former, since the damage from dead mans plate doesn't scale with damage items.

They just absolutely have to incorporate this into the Rift. item 3742 It's just so awesome how it pairs up quite well with tanks. Hecarim for instance.
