Everybody knows an early game sunfire with a champion that can stay glued to you is OP As well as a thornmail vs a fed ADC

I always have problem with these items... they make it extremely harder to tank turrets because their passive makes the turret attack you when a champion attacks you.

Because of this one factor, I'll no longer be using these items, from now on it's

ive been thinking about taking dead mans plate on malphite. but i actually found that item 3751 and item 3068 are pretty good rushes on him, due to the additional waveclear.

the item 3047 item 3143 + reinforced armor a pretty effectiuve combination against adc. its a lot of crit reduction + % damage reduction.

item 3075 is generally trash except as a 6th item for maybe 2 or 3 champions who have armor scaling/massive armor steroids and can get enough to make that stupid passive useful. Rammus Malphite Taric

malphite can get up to 600 armor at full build with the item, which makes it useful against attack speed focused carries.

i find item 3742 to be perfect for any tank it gives mobility and most tanks have a very short supply of that

not really. it depends on the champ. on the top of my head

Amumu Alistar Malphite Rammus Maokai Zac Nautilus Leona

arent short on mobility. long range initiate is usually a core attribute of tanks. even ad champs that could be classified as tanks like

JarvanIV Sion

dont have problems getting into a fight.

Thornmail still has it's place on champions like Rammus and Malphite. But I really think it's a good thing they nerfed thornmail since it's kind of a toxic item. If you buy 1 item and basicly make the enemy ADC kill himself if you hit you then that is pretty damn toxic.

Those items have their uses, They are Just not as good as a general tank item.

item 3068 : Increases Wave clear. But where that's actually Useful is on Bruisers and Duelists who otherwise Lack wave clear. Sunfire is useful of Shen, but not as much on Sion or Maokai.

item 3075 : While a lot less effective as a stand alone Armor item, It's still going to be the Premier Anti, ADC items in the game.

Also your language doesn't make sense. Tanking the Turret Means drawing Aggro. It might be more accurate to say that it's harder to Siege a Turret because these items make you draw aggro. But as a Tank, your not really meant to siege in the first place.
