The tank item to fix it all!!!

Altricad··2 votes·326 views

Right now, pure tanks are having a problem with their defensive options and the problem surrounding it is.

item 3035 item 3135 item 3071

Now, I'm not saying these items are bad for game health, but recently the AD&AP buff granted by dragon allows people to build flat penetration and crush tanks like they were made of paper.

But the reason that tank items are getting buffed is because, these broken champions can buy 1 defensive item and abuse it. Looking at you Irelia

So, how about this? We give an tank item a passive that GRANTS BONUS ARMOR AND/OR MAGIC RESIST from items OTHER than itself.

The reason being, not itself is to force the person to build at least 2 tank items for it to have a real effect. And if the tank gets 4 items, then the effectiveness shines through

I think the best item to give the passive to item 3056 , currently tanks are supposed to be the ones diving turrets and engaging for the team ( Not you Zed ) and the item on it's own seems lackluster for fighters to rush. If an Irelia rushes a ohmwrecker she gets much less benefit than say a item 3143

The thing is, how much? 25%? 40%?

I'll leave that to the community

Have you ever seen a pure tank naut fight a full tank sion?

I don't wanna see it happen again. Each of them deal 25 damage per hit and have a health pool of 4k+ with 240~ armor. just dont bring up tanks.

have you thought of what they would be like if you gave them extra armor / mr?

it would be as stupid as it was witthout the extra armour

2 guys whos main priority is to be a menace in teamfights tried to solo themselves

its just like support would clear the jungle, totaly not their job and they totaly cant do it

Play Garen if you want lots of armor and magic resist. Tanks have good, maybe not great but good, items. Majority of Tanks, except the ones that can, cannot perform super initiations or super peels, looking at Alistar Maokai and Braum . If a Tank cannot do either of those, they need some super niche to get by, like DrMundo . That is the problem. Each Tank needs their own way of doing some super CC to initiate or peel or they will just be a bullet sponge.

Been a long time since I last saw an irelia only buy 1 defensive item. Now if you mean one offensive item then i can understand that.

That said I feel that locket or FH would be better candidates as tanks builds them a lot already and all the stats they have,especially the aura, are things tanks want.
