CDR on Armor/HP Items
The new tank item update was great, and the addition of a 3rd magic resist item was long overdue. However, there is a glaring ovesite with it. You need armor items with CDR.
There are 6 major Armor items, Thornmail Frozen heat Iceborn gauntlets Randuins omen Sunfire cape Dead man's plate
However, only 3 of these are usable by all champions. Thornmail is a very specialized item for countering very specific situations and is not used in most games. Frozen heart and iceborn gauntlets are great, and do offer CDR, but with large amounts of mana, and no health, make them nearly unusable by any non-mana tank like Zac, Garen, Shen, Mundo, etc. Additionally, all 3 of these items Don't have health, which is crucial to a tank build and very necessary early, making it a large waste of time to build one of these early game.
So there are only 3 good armor items for the early game, and none of them have CDR. It makes no sense that all 3 MR items have CDR, especially when 2 of them don't even build out of CDR items. Randuins currently builds out of 2 Ruby crystals when for the same cost it could build out of a Kindlegem and then have CDR. Or you could have the other 2 build out of Kindlegem instead of giants belt. It wouldn't be a very large change to add 10% CDR to 1 or 2 of them.
Try building Zac right now against an AD Comp. You might get 10% CDR in the late game with a warmogs. Or new Rammus, thornmail is so integral to his kit that it is a major waste to build frozen heart until your 5th or 6th item because you need health. Meaning you don't get amy CDR until maybe 30+ minutes. And with his new rework, he desperately needs it.
It is an easy fix, and a necessary one.
, all
items , and all
items give at least 10% CDR meaning you can cap without giving up much if you so truly desire.
now builds out of
and gives HP, Armor, and CDR.
(40% CDR)
My Tank vs. AD:
(30% CDR)
is primary still a juggernaut item. there is no issue with tanks using it, but it should be primarily balanced for slow fighters, and they want more health. cdr is already very available to them.
