Bring Back F-O-N Force of Nature

RIOT please bring back F-O-N or at least add a passive movement speed to one of the health regen items. For me, the League has sucked a bit without Force of Nature. Tanks and Support roles aren't as fun full build without that F-O-N on board :-(

lol... Yeah, he would get a buff, but the other guys (tanks and supports) would get a huge benefit with the added regen and movement. F-O-N was a must have before they dropped it and replaced it with two other items.

During the season change that FoN was removed, boots got a 3rd upgrade option added. Now you can 12% with Furor over the 8% of FoN, 20 with Alacrity, or 200% with Homeguard.

It's also worth mentioning the %MS that item 3078 item 3046 grant saw a substantial nerf in that transitional phase: being reduced from 12% to 8%, and 12% to 5%, respectively.

If FoN stayed through that transition: it would likely only have ~4% MS

FoN was pretty OP though.

you just bought that 1 item and became immune to magical burst for the better part of a game. For just about anyone that has a QWER burst that scales with AP: they need ~450 AP to deal double damage, which is a pretty substantial amount of AP, even with a party hat.

Even counting doubling your EHP vs. magic damage off of level 18 bases, 1 point of MR is worth 3 points of AP in terms of stopping power, making FoN's massive 75 worth the equivalent of 225 AP. Deathcap only offers 156 by itself (and cost about 30% more than FoN), and FoN offered substantial benefits outside of MR like %max HP regeneration and MS.

item 3065's current state has largely filled the void FoN's removal left, offering a solid MR item with respectable regen, just not an OP MR item.

Agreed... but I am looking to fill the void left that the removal of FoN brought. I would go two FoNs in order to sell my boots for MS, which let me go all tank in my items late game; i.e. FoN+ item 3110 + item 3068 + item 3075 + FoN +item 3143 or item 3078 made almost any tank late game too OP. I just miss being able to sell the boots and replace it with two FoNs instead of having to buy a different Offensive item with a passive MS to make up for the dump truck in the lane. I just wish one of the Tank/Support MR had a passive MS. I know there are some like this item 3023 that do, but it is not viable late game to me for a tank.

Thank you for the reply though, your feedback brought some comfort but one can only hope Riot adds something like that back into the package of items :-( How I miss Force of Nature "◾ Force of Nature item.png Force of Nature was the only item to provide movement speed, magic resistance, and health regeneration. " :-(
