There is a Tear of Goddess Item for AD/AP Why not for health?

-Built out of TOG and Giants Belt -Cost around 2500 -Could stack mana by tanking damage -Once full charge could have a unique active such as a heal or movement speed bonus Let me know what you guys think.

If it gave health from max mana then sure.

It has a number of potent HP items that tanks love though: Warmog's, Randuin's, Righteous Glory, Spirit Visage and Banshee's Veil all give 400+ health and a ton of other useful tank stuff to boot.

None of those items provide sufficient HP to to function as a soft-counter to %Pen. You need way, way more HP to hit that sweet spot, 2400 HP per 100 resist, in fact. Getting 200 resist is easy. Getting 4800 HP is nearly impossible.

And that still makes Ryze/Singed hilariously overpowered.

Are you suggesting Ryze grab this thing AND AA Staff? You know how long that would take to charge both, right?

Singed and Ryze both have non-existent pick-rates right now and woeful win rates, they could use a leg up.

There isn't an anti-%health damage item yet. This is possible by raising a champion's maximum health with a shield for example. So for example a tank item with Tear that has 25 MR and 25 armor and transforms into a 30 MR and 30 armor item with +10% maximum health as a shield as active could work.

I wouldn't be adverse to a support tear item that lets you give your own mana to your own teammate, actually.

Singed will have a field day with this.

I like the concept, but I think Catalyst the Protector is more in line with a "tank/mana-regen" item. How about we get some version of Odyn's Veil on the rift? item 3180

Riot mentioned an item like this at one point, considered it, but has said nothing more on it. Guessing until they can think of a way to implement it without making a few champs ridiculous then they won't touch it.
