Idea for a Support/Tank Item

Nin10do0014·Jan 29, 2015·1 votes·416 views

I just thought it would be interesting to have a Support-ish item that works similar to Aegis of the Legion or Locket of the Iron Solari. While we have an item that grants bonus Magic Resist for teammates, I think it would be a nice luxury to have an item that grants bonus Armor as well. This is just an idea, and I am not saying this is needed in the game. I call this item the Vanguard Cape.

Vanguard Cape +400 HP +25 Armor +10% CDR +50% Health Regen

Unique Aura: Vanguard Nearby allies within 1100 Range gain +25 Armor and +75% Base Health Regen

Unique Active: Heals nearby allies within 600 Range for 50+ 10*(Your level)

Cost: → + → + →

+ + + 450 Gold = Vanguard Cape (2900 Gold)

Let me know what you think of this item. Again, I just think this would be interesting as an item. I am not saying it's needed.

I think Riot removed the only armor aura item on purpose. I don't remember their reasoning though.

This item+ Taric =No one on your team needs to buy armor ever.

Seems kinda good. It's like locket v2, except probably better since a heal is probably more useful than a shield since the shields wear off and then were partially wasted.

Other problem is, I think it'd make tanks just completely non-existent. They're already pretty bad, so why make them worse?

With both this, locket, and Mikael's, your allies would get: +25 armor +20 mr +150% HP5 +100 + 20*(Your Level) in extra HP and shields And you can get yet another heal from the Mikael's. And if you can put up your own shields like Janna, your carry is going to be surviving a very long time.

If you don't see why they'd be so bad after this item came around, consider this. This item is a combo with Ardent Censor in order to give your whole team more attack speed. Ardent Censor isn't used much as of right now, but with this item, it would. You can double this up with locket in order to get 2 attack speed buffs for your whole team. And another from your Mikael's. As in, you'd really make your team a lot stronger and at the same time, so much tankier that there'd be no reason to even have a tank on your team. And Janna would be a Goddess.

Auras as a whole are pretty bad for the game. They feel bad on you personally but massively increase your team's power.

A team with both Vanguard Cape and Locket would have massive amounts of free defensive stats. Then just slap them on someone with really bad damage like Braum and all of a sudden your team is invincible.
