We need more tenacity Riot

With the removal of zephyr in this preseason we only have 3 ways of getting tenacity: -item 3111 ; -item 2138 ; -Swiftness mastery in resolve tree.

This is not enough, because sometimes the last two options are only good on tanks or juggernauts and there will be games when we need to buy item 3047 because we are facing an heavy AD team, or we are playing a mage and need shoes to penetrate the enemy's MR, in this 2 situations buying treads is not the optimal choice, leaving us with little to no tenacity (not to mention that treads' tenacity got nerfed).

I believe that 1 tenacity item (at least) should be created (or item 3170 can be added to the shop in the rift) to give us a suficient amount of counterbuilding to heavy CC teams regardless of class played.

I'm aware that another tenacity item can be abused by Irelia, giving her pseudo-CC immunity (right now irelia can reach a maximum of 91% tenacity, which reduces Nasus wither (longest CC in the game) to a miserable 0,43s, she can only reach this with cleanse, but another tenacity item would allow her to do this without cleanse. But the solution is quite simple, imho (nerf her passive or rework her, let's be honest, she kinda needs one)

actually you have only one way :item 3111 +item 2138 . gives you +40 tenacity. But if you complain about the lack of items, i agree with you,we don't have many choices

Yes, I'm asking for more tenacity items. We only have treads as an item and elixir of iron, and the elixir is only good on tanks (and is temporary).

You forgot the swiftness mastery it gives up to 15% tenacity and slow resist if you invest 5 points into it (it's tier 5 in the resolve tree, so only tanks will effectively use it)

Riot self decides what stats are good for the sport, and limits or removes bad ones. they know how to balance the game. If you disagree you just arnt playing the sport right. This aint no game. ESPORT!

item 3170 this item would be great and can be easily balanced by making the 35% tenacity melee only and giving a reduced 15-20% tenacity for ranged

Indeed.
