What I have discerned from itemization requests in this board

Mages need a new CDR item and tanks need a better tank item that is cost effective to deal with the surplus of true/max health damage

The Mage request can easily be remedied by bringing back the Lost Chapter items from Black Market Brawlers into Summoner's Rift.

As for that Tank item which would counter true/health damage, it's a complicated predicament due to the fact that Juggernauts and even light fighters/duelists can also abuse tank items to become obscenely resilient while doing high damage. It's likely it would end up gimped just like Thornmail Armour. On the other hand, this item could be a godsend to deal with the insane amount of true/health damage champions who are dominating. In either case, it's a bitter pill to swallow.

Mages don't need a new CDR item, they're just spoiled.

Supports need AD aegis too btw. Stacking AD is just too good tbh.

Going to say something blasphemous here, but I think tanks are fine. Honestly, they're just not interesting or healthy for the game in their current state. With games once again averaging much longer, tanks are getting to build their full defense builds that give an auto win if you have three of them, make it to late game, and the enemy team doesn't have Vayne or Fiora. Sorry, but there's nothing interesting about most tanks. No interactions, nothing redeeming. I'm of the opinion that there should be more to deciding the game than having more tanks and surviving to late game. Rammus building 500 armour and 4,000 HP is just lame.

As far as mages go, I again think that they're fine. Some in particular are lacking something here and there, but I'm a little tired of all the complaining that champions that lack a meaningful weakness (such as Lux, Ahri, and LeBlanc) should be benefiting from new items and buffs. The stats on those BMB items look interesting, but I was away for the entirety of BMB and have no idea how thy acted in game, so I can't comment on that.
