another thread had me thinking, why don't we have a Mana regen+ Armor item? It would be the perfect counter to insta kill Zeds and Talons so they don't invalidate your immobile squishy mage who is forced to buy a zhonyas first while going OOM because they can't buy any mana regen above an idol (unless your opponent is an idiot who gave you a kill).
What do you think?
After you get Zhonyas just start working towards Morello's or something. Although it would be nice if we had an armor and mana regen item.
Having mana problems when laning against Zed and Talon?
Get a second Doran's Ring or a Tear of the Goddess.
Ive also thought about such an Item, like maybe built out of Glacial Shroud and Idol or something like that. This is an issue I saw all the time with the Seekers Rush.
I'm not necessarily against this idea, but.
-> 
-> 
[for AP increase, tie to ADC in fights] OR 
on certain champs like 
it can work.
Maybe not a mid-tier item, but it definitely would be really good on a completed item.
Something with a build along the lines of Armguard + Idol and has AP, Armor, Mana regen, and CDR would definitely be good against those kinds of champions.
Armor + mana is something we already have on a mid-tier item with Glacial Shroud, so I don't think we should crowd that out with a mid-tier mana regen + armor item.
This needs more discussion! We need a blue involved.
Zed and talon mains need to upvote this btw. If mage mains receive this, you can stop being nerfed.
Watchers' Vambrace
Seeker's Armguard (1200) + Forbidden Idol (600) + Amplifying Tome (435) + 565 = 2800
+60 Ability Power (1305) +45 Armor (900) +100% Base Mana Regen (720) +10% Cooldown Reduction (317)
Unique Passive: Whenever you take Physical Damage from an enemy champion, you regain Mana equal to 4 + 1% of your Missing Health (halved against basic attacks). This effect cannot occur more than ? times every ? seconds.
Stat Value: 3242 Stat/Gold Efficiency: ~116% (Athene's: 117% Stat/Gold Efficiency)
That passive's numbers probably aren't ideal. I just thought it up on a whim to give the item a passive.
I do like the concept though. Though the passive is a tad awkward, you're kinda getting rewarded for getting hit. I dunno what word to say for that...rewarded or compensated?
Either way, ideas are always welcome. :)
Bump
I'm in for it.It would really help immobile mages out and reduce the dominance of AD assassins.
it would give more diversity to some items
could be built from 
+
