Can we have a tank item that matters?

Seriously. None of the tank items come even close to mattering.

Oh you finally got that sunfire cape? Good thing it only has 1900 gold worth of stats after we shred you into the dirt.

Oh? You got a thornmail? That’s cute. All the champions this is suppose to counter don’t give a shit about it.

You finally got that adaptive helm after slogging through lane. Too bad I have my void staff.

Warmogs? Joke of an item. Sitting on raw hp sucks.

When nobody realizes that steraks is actually one of the best tank items in the game due to the fact that its basically a 75% bonus health increase against burst that doesn't get subject to %max health damage or missing health damage.

ya Steraks is a God send, pretty much always a third item and sometimes even a second for me on Ornn

We probably being downvoted because "bUt StErAks HaS dAmAgE itS a BrUiSeR iTeM iT cAnT bE bEtTeR tHaN a TaNk ItEm."

At least that is probably what they are thinking

Allow me to use the reasoning that got it taken from ranged champions. Ahhehehehem

“It’S nOt A tAnK iTeM, iT’s A bRuIsEr ItEm!”

But for real. Why do bruisers get better durability items than actual tanks?

It got taken away from ranged champs because it was really busted for almost all of them

usually because a lot of fighters have worse innate defense or no dashes, where tanks usually have something that multiplies defensive value like a shield or a resist boost. like if you look at a couple of my champs they have 0 defense steroid, theyr e just big fat fuckin target dummies and without something like Steraks to bail them out once in a while theyd flop hard. riots got a pretty backwards idea of what tank items should be doing, too

Because riot cant balance their game.

I know its bs but its something we all have to deal with and sometimes abuse.
