Instead of balancing tanks around less hp

why not just increase HP cost?

Because HP has this funny little thing that makes it incredibly valuable on anyone who stacks it.

It's equally effective against magic damage and physical damage.

Crazy right?

i don't see the problem

if you invest a lot of money into it then there is a tradeoff

%hp damage is also a thing

The problem is that it leads to people being equally effective against two damage sources without paying extra for it.

And it's not the tanks or juggernauts I'd be worried about. It's the squishies who decided to just stack a nice health item like mallet because of how powerful health became.

funny that you say this, but mallet hp wasn't nerfed

Yeah I know, I know it's also not built a lot because if there was more desire to build it (say, bigger HP builds that can compensate with titanic that greats stronger and better when adding a mallet) it'd be as frustrating as frozen force Yasuo again.

See everyone wants some HP, but it's mainly tanky characters that want resistances. So buffing resistances and nerfing HP actively discourages people outside of intended buyers from grabbing those items.

Riot could just make tanks items works on %HP and increase drastically HP/lvl on tanks.

Except %HP is meant to counter tanks so it'd be a dumb arms race.

That's not the point. Your point was "He could be abused by someone who isn't tank". By making it increased like Cinderhulk those champions wouldn't benefit from it.

Except it covers an intended weakness of the champions that do benefit from it. A weakness they are supposed to overcome through resistances.
