No point to Armor atm (Symptom of a bigger problem)

What is the point playing tanky champs like Taric if all you EVER do is nerf their items so that assassin and attack-based champions like Rengar will always be more powerful in any situation. Skill is essentially dead Riot, you cannot effectively kite anymore because of the disaster that you have made tank items.

Please stop nerfing items for genuine tanks just because Tanky Bruisers like Riven regularly abuse them. How about actually LIMITING the items to tanks themselves and stop other champions from abusing them. This kind of item control would EASILY sort out the major balance issues in this game. The problem has ALWAYS been that one champion can build ANYTHING they want without restrictions, even if that champion has a toxic design to begin with.

Riot, you are making some champs so unviable that the power gap is massive. Its unfair and it makes this game so boring when you see LeeSin or Ahri or Zed or Shyvana or Thresh 500 times in one day. Your refusal to bind specific items to specific champions IS why this game is so horrifically unbalanced, man up! Take some responsibility and some control to make ALL Champ Classes viable!

Riven hasn't been a bruiser since the all mighty Fratmogs was nerfed...

Well I am using Riven as a loose example of how a non-intentional champ can benefit, like LeeSin and item 2045

Fratmogs?

Way back in the glory days of Bruisers there was an item set called Fratmogs. It, accompanied by the glorious might of Force of Nature, allowed literally any champion to become a Bruiser.

Fratmogs is the combined power of Frozen Mallet, Atma's Impaler, and Warmog's Armor. It had variant names depending on champions like Atmog's Fate for the bruiser version of Twisted Fate. It's popularity died down when Force of Nature was removed, and finally stopped completely when Atma's had it's Health to AD ratio reduced.

Armor items are still strong. They even added a new one and gave Randuins crit reduction.

And made it almost less tanky than Sunfire Cape.
