Since riot can't make ap bruiser items for some reason, here's a few random ideas

Cost: X

Stinger + fiendish Codex + Aether wisp

At 6 stacks, Gain 20% Tenacity and 30% Magic Pen. Stacks of Vilemaw's Wrath fall off after being out of combat for (X) seconds.

item 4004 Purgatory Wraithblade(Melee Only): Cost: X

Oblivion Orb + Amp tome + Giants Belt

item 3084 Cuirass of the Ancients(Melee Only) Cost X

Kindlegem + Haunting Guise

HP + 400 Ap + 40 10% Cooldown Reduction

Unique active: Store all damage dealt to champions for 3 seconds. After this effect wears off, gain a shield equal to X amount of damage dealt. If this shield isn't broken within 3 seconds, the remaining shield will be converted into health.

These are just some random ideas off the top of my head... I know you can do something better riot. How long do we have to wait to get proper ap bruiser itemization? We were promised them in s10 preseason. Sylas Singed Mordekaiser Rumble Nunu Chogath Diana

First of all... Melee only??? Half of the APs with Bruiser-like playstyles are Ranged! AurelionSol Elise Heimerdinger Kennen Morgana Swain Vladimir

Second: While item #2 is somewhat interesting it collides to much with both item 1401 and item 3165. You'd either have to make both of its effects "Unique" which would make it a very, very niche Item or you don't and get into extremely dangerous terrain with 48 Flat Magic Pen item 3020 item 3165 AKA true dmg to everyone at 3 Items and/or Insane HP Values with item 1401 item 3083.

But the real issues are Item #1 and #3 ,#1 is insanely overdesigned and overloaded. item 3078 is nothing but a joke, compared to this one!
,#3 is just broken, absolutely broken... This shield would go into the thousands on Amumu Fizz Diana making them absolutely unkillable, espcially when paired up with item 3157!


We don't need such overdesigned items to have viable AP-Bruisers. item 3027 already exists, item 3170 is just one map away. All that's left would be AP version of item 3053 a versions that offers some CDR/AS wich I'd link with its passive.
