Can we get a REAL Magic Resist item?

I want a real MR item. Think Thornmail or Frozen Heart but for magic resist. I'm tired of having sub-optimal itemization for magic damage on tanks and having people like LB or Ahri be able to beat me up so easily because I can't build MR to effectively deal with their harass. It would strengthen the tank role as well, and even if it is super powerful for tanks, look and you will find items that are borderline OP on almost any other role. Zhonya's, Infinity Edge, Mikael's (in the right hands), and both of the % penetration items. Why can't we have a strong tank item against MR as well?

This is a difficult thing to do because magic resist MUST be weaker than armor, or mages become worthless. Plus, any tank item that has high magic resist can be abused by bruisers and fighters.

I'd like something that hearkens back to Force of Nature too, but that item was abusive when rushed.

I voted yes, but I wouldn't hold my breath for something like this.

item 3180 comes to mind. Also, obligatory RIP S2 Force of Nature and S3 Runic Bulwark.

Random crazy idea:

What if Abyssal got its build changed to item 1057 +?

That would make for a pretty solid dedicated Tank item that would be pretty iffy on the likes of Vi, Jman, and Irelia. They wouldn't be that interested in the MR shred aura. However, it would be GREAT on the various utility Tanks with their pretty magic damage.

How about an item that is similar to Mercurial Blade, in the sense that it's active is only up for a very short period of time, and it REFLECTS the next spell cast against it?

Rendering the user taking no damage, while reflecting the damage back to the one who cast it.

Active shield is up for 1.0 - 1.5 seconds? Who knows?

I don't know how much better an MR item could possibly get than item 3102 .

item 3180 and item 3112 come to mind

I wish an edited version of either were in Summoner's Rift

There was an item called Force of Nature, people bought it, mages then healed their opponents when they attacked. (Obviously it wasn't THAT bad, but it did hard null out a fair amount of the cast back then.)
