Anyone wish there were more attack speed+tanky stat(s) of some kind items?

only items that have attack speed and a tanky stat of some kind (hp/armor/mr) atm for summoner's right are :

  • Trinity Force
  • Wit's End

Don't you all wish there were more of these items? like an item that has attack speed and hp but none of the damage-focused stats/passives, these items would focus on being tanky but having the attack speed to proc champion abilities of some kind such as: Aatrox W (old) Braum passive ice stun Darius Bleed stacks Tahm kench fishy stacks

It'd also work with champions like these too possibly as a 3/4/5th Item(maybe in synergy with trinity as well:

Xin Zhao Volibear Vi Trundle Pantheon Nocturne Kayn(Darkin) Jax Jarvin Graves Garen Mundo Camille

Building offensive items shouldn't give you defense.

Likewise, building defensive items shouldn't give you offense.

garen doesnt want attack speed. hed rather avoid it. its not horrible, since he can use it like 50% of the time during a fight, but its not worth aiming for.

you would never buy an item on garen because it has attack speed. its more that if you want an item for a different reason, and it happens to have attack speed, you put up with it.

item 3046 item 3078 item 3095

the only exception was the original ghostblade, because it had a very high, windowed attack speed active that you would hit between spin cooldowns. so you were always guaranteed to get 100% value out of the stat.

The issue is that I play Taric and Shen and I'd rush them every game without fail.

No. No i dont. It sounds fun to play with for the champion, but honestly Jax, Camille and Yi are problematic enough as it is.

Inspired from an old item called: Ionic Spark

Build item 1043Recurve Bow + item 1028Ruby Crystal + 2xitem 1042Dagger + 100 Gold = 2100 Gold in total Stats +50% attack speed +250 health Passive Unique: Every fourth autoattack unleashes a chain lightning, dealing 125 magic damage to up to 4 targets. Targets cannot be hit twice by the same lightning. (400 bounce range)

I think Riot is afraid to release good armor options for AD champs because both top laners and bot laners would rush it whenever they are against another AD, which is "usually"

But that thinking was based on a meta where you were always against other ADs and there was no Conqueror rune so maybe it's time for AD/Armor and AS/Armor items to be added to the game. It would also help those crit ADCs carve out a niche because they naturally build anti-armor in their core build with the new IE.
