They'll add Hydra and Gage as new AD bruiser/tank items, can we get something alike but with AP ? they could be built from and/or .

Would open new option for AP tank/bruisers and make things more interesting.

No, their itemization is already good to begin with. They can easily get 500+ AP and still get tanky as shit.

The new AD items are so that AD bruisers can CATCH UP to AP in itemization, and it still isn't enough.

item 3027 item 3116 item 3151 item 3001 item 3068 item 3157 item 3025 item 3091 item 3050 item 3078

i only cherry picked some of the items that grant ap/magic damage and defense at the same time. not even counting dedicated defensive items.

and then there are still some that i missed.

why in the world would ap bruisers not have enough items? please try to list all the ad/defense items that exist compared to that.

item 3050 is a support item, not bruiser

item 3078 item 3068 are used by AD tanks/bruisers as well, like item 3725

item 3139 item 3074 item 3022 item 3156 ** (TITANIC HYDRA)** - (STERAK's GAGE) lifesteal item 3153 item 3508 item 3072 item 3071 tenacity item 3172

Only a specific few bruisers tend to build item 3078 . At the very least, it's not an item that most can prioritize.

Same goes for item 3139 and item 3022 . Very situational items that can put you behind if you prioritize them. item 3156 is generally not bought until later in the game, since most just get item 3155 for the passive and leave it for more important items. It's much better built on fighters. For bruisers, item 3065 is generally better in most cases.

item 3072 item 3508 Not bruiser items. All damage and no defense, which is a no go as a bruiser. No bruiser wants a BF Sword, as they need items fast.

item 3153 Assassins and ADCs make better use of this item. It stopped being a bruiser-oriented item when Riot decided to give it attack speed. In my arrogant opinion, it's a cancerous item that needs to be either reworked or removed from the game.

item 3172 Very situational item that not every bruiser can use, nor wants over more important items. Crappy build-path that can put you behind for what it offers.

item 3071 item 3074 Decent items among a plethora of bad and non-existent ones.

As for item 3068 , most bruisers only build this because they have to, not because it's a particularly good item. If there were better options for armor + damage you would rarely see this built on them.
