Because whenever tank items are strong they just get abused by bruisers and assassins. This is a good lesson for the balance team. If tank champions are doing poorly, buff them directly. NEVER touch their items. They're just get abused by champions they're not intended for. I don't wanna go back to seeing champs like Wukong and Rengar with Randuins every game.

I heard Mao missed out, too.

Not really, not when you consider how large of an issue mana is for Nautilus. He already runs out of mana fairly often, making his W more spammy like they did is quite the detriment to his mana pool. Not to mention that with the shorter duration of the shield and is large nerf to how much damage it shields against, Nautilus is left at larger risks in shorter skirmishes. The shield change is really only beneficial during long team fights, which frankly don't really exist right now.
Elkington VI1 votesThe game is in its most balanced state when everyone benefits from pure defensive itemization.
Champs like Wukong and Rengar shouldn't be able to mindlessly stack offense without being punished for it. Keep in mind they would have to sacrifice burst when building pure defensive items, which means less damage in the game overall.
Some of you say you want less damage in the game, or you don't like getting blown up instantly, but you don't want pure defensive itemization to be good either. Which one is it? Because you have to choose one or the other.
As long as pure defense remains weak, or only accessible to one class of champions, damage creep will remain a problem.
