The Perfect Tank Item

ItsmyStory··1 votes·1,297 views

So I have read through a few discussion about the perfect tank item because at the moment there is nothing that perfectly completes a 5 item tank. I believe that from lack of great MR items, but regardless tanks need a item that can be the late game god tier item. I also understand that the item can't be to perfect that it makes bruiser and fighter to strong that they don't need other items to tank.

The Idea I have is to make a tank item which functions like item 3089 the item would give X MR for every XX amount of MR you have. So maybe the item would give 25 MR for every 100 MR you have or something like that, or maybe it does that for Armor or even both MR and Armor but for less each like for every 100 MR you get 15 MR and every 100 Armor you get 10 Armor. The item could be build like item 1031 item 3067 item 1033 or something like that and cost around 3k give or take. The item wouldn't give that great of base stats but would give that great passive which could be good later in a game as a third or fourth item as a tank.

This is just my idea, the numbers would need to be worked on but I think it could work. I feel it would be more fun for tanks to have item diversity. Thanks for taking the time to read.

This would be an amazing tank item, thus it will never, ever be made.

After Righteous Glory I believe that Riot trying to bring tanks back into the meta in some form so maybe this is a way. Tanks don't need to much to be good again.

Runic Bulwark was pretty good, it would be nice to have those.

I have to agree Runic Bulwark was great. The problem with that was it work to well on anyone, non tanks could use it to become tanky and still build damage. I understand why they got rid of it, but I left a void it item build for tanks, at 4 items you can have nothing really worth buying as a tank.

Force of Nature. Never forget

On a serious note, Righteous Glory is a pretty legit item for the tanks who use mana. its basically a shurellias(sp?) and a randuins combined with the active and gives you 100% base regen

It have a great effect but I lacks armor/mr the health alone is not always what you need but at least Riot is trying to give tanks more options. I feel if Righteous Glory didn't cost so much or didn't get mana it would be better because mana is need in the early game and you wouldn't rush a righteous glory. But I do like the item. Never forget Force of Nature, that was the perfect item.

Yeah I dont rush it. I just build the catalyst early and let it sit there til my 3rd or maybe even fourth item.

I prefer Tank item that function like Atma... grants bonus Armor/MR based on Health... so the calculation are easier... (at least for me)

But the item idea that grants another bonus for Armor/MR is great... especially MR since they are rare...

Arma doesn't work for all tank but I understand what you mean, the goal of the item is not to be super strong but powerful later in the game. With more tank being turned into pure tank, like Sejuani . This item could work well with them.

Good idea.

Better idea: item 3211 + item 3024 = item X. Item X + item 3067.
