Why is an offense item also defensive?

Glîtchy··3 votes·495 views

I'm not talking about the likes of item 3053 or item 3748

I'I talking about item 3046

This item is pretty defensive as it suppresses incoming damage by 12%, so if you get item 3047 it becomes 22% suppression, Ik I might sound like some wood division Riven who got beat, but I'm honestly curious as to why such an offensive item is also defensive. Note that it also keeps minions from blocking your path and adds 30% Atk speed, and 20% or 30% crit rate

I was merely asking why an offense item is also highly defensive

Percentage negation is highly defensive.

ACTUALLY, the item is not defensive because it has a defensive stat on it. IT is a duelists item and not defensive as tanks might buy. It is a very offensive item, far more so than the items you listed, buddy ;)

Riot does whatever they want with items. For an example, item 3078 is literally a mix of a little of everything.

zomg and if you do item 3047 item 3046 item 3812 you have 52% of your incoming damage either blocked or set as a bleed that you can heal from!!!

OP OP OP, definitely nothing counters this!!!!

dont forget about item 3151 item 3157 item 3071 item 3116 too many items give a generous amount of health while allowing to do so much damage

It used to be that liandries and rylais had 80AP and were "low tier build specific" items. Then the nerfening happened, and AP as a whole lost 300 or so.
