I'm not saying buff MR items, this is not what this thread is about. But we do need more MR items, more choices, more diversity. Currently there is only 3 MR items for tanks that give both HP and MR, and even then, they are situational and you can't buy them on every tank. item 3001 Can't buy on tanks that don't use mana. item 3065 Not as good on tanks that don't focus much on healing. item 3194 Passive wasted if enemy team doesn't have a lot of DOT/Spammable abilities.

But even if you get a tank that can utilize all three of those items, you can't do a full MR tank build against an AP heavy team because there are only three items to get. In ARAM you can't build full tank against an all AP team comp because you're stuck half-way with no more MR-HP items left to buy. [Again, given you can utilize all three of these items in the first place.]

To add to that 90% of the time you're forced to build item 3211 first against an AP heavy team. Why? because 2/3 defensive MR items build off of it and it's the only good mid-MR tank item in their build path. Like where is the diversity when it comes to MR itemization? What happened to having choices?

EDIT: To compare look at how many items have both Armor and HP: item 3187 item 3742 item 3109 item 3056 item 3143item 3800 item 3068item 3075

That's 8-3, almost triple that of MR-HP items.

I actually would love to have force of nature back and revert Warmog back to stacking.
