Idea for a new Brutalizer item

So, brutalizer has always been a great rush item for tanks, especially since it can later be upgraded into a black cleaver which would operate as a sole damage item. However, now that brutalizer no longer builds into black cleaver, I feel like the lategame potential of the item (at least in regards to tanks). Youmuu's is a great item, it's just not really what tanks want.

So instead, I propose the addition of a new item. Or rather the rework of an older item. Atma's Impaler:

It would build out of Brutalizer+ Raptor's Cloak.

Atma's Impaler's new stats:

+25 Attack Damage +45 Armor +100% Health Regeneration Unique+10% Cooldown Reduction Unique+10 armor penetration Unique: Point Runner Unique: You gain Attack Damage equal to 1.5% of your Maximum Health (maybe nerf to 1%)

Since it has a lot more stats than the old version, the overall cost should be pushed up to about 2600-3000 gold. It's definitely more of a late game item. You will probably sit on brutalizer for a while until you have the health to back up the item.

Another idea would be to make Brutalizer build into a Frozen Mallet. I mean no one uses that item.

Current tanks boast around 4K-5K hp with the addition of cinderhulk. having a late game item that gives a tank almost 100 AD is kinda scary. On top of that they get the passive from Raptor's Cloak to make them better turret divers. I would like to see Atma's come back and Brutalizer get another build path. I don't think this is it though.

First of all, Tanks don't usually build damage (with some exception that I will explain later) they want to get as tanky as fast as possible. Good tanks will rely on their CC and base damage for lane harass. Come late game, damage means less when your needed to survive the entire enemy team while you engage.

People already complain about tanks doing too much damage with the introduction of Cinderhulk. Making an Item that looks like Artma's impailer's demented, Overpowers cousin, just sounds problematic.

Their are very few Duelist tanks who are made to duel opponents while being tanky. Namely, Gnar. You build the current Black Cleaver, on him along with a Frozen Mallet gives him over a 1000 health while making him a kiting machine. and a menace to anyone who isn't ranged.
