2 Items to encourage TANK lane pressure.
At present I don't believe there to be enough real itemization to allow Tanks who do not want AP or AD to siege or split push. I'd like to offer up 2 potential items to diversify current gameplay.

The first I'm calling Martyr's Mail for now. Said item would have 1 unique passive and 1 unique active with other stats to be determined later. The Unique Passive would increase the item holder's health regeneration by a % increased by the number of nearby minions. Example: Soraka would have to determine if staying out of the bush to gain increased hp regen near minions would be worthwhile vs the potential to get caught or poked down. The Unique Active would be a toggle that allows the champion to take a % of the damage suffered by nearby minions for them after the item holder's armor and magic resist. Example: Garen popping his damage reduction shield and item active to allow minions to push tower without dying in 2 shots, OR, Galio using "Bulwark" to mitigate the damage for the minions and heal himself.

Bramble Totem. This item would be more straight forward and built out of "Thorn Mail". The **Unique Passive ** would turn "Thorn Mail's" self buff into an aura only affecting nearby minions for a reduced amount. (Maybe 15 or 20% ?). This item's main purpose would be to add some counter play for tanks to harass enemy ad carries from solo farming large minion waves and add an alternative/accompanying item to "Sunfire Cape".
Thoughts?
