When tank items are reworked, are they going to do something like "+X% base armor/MR"?

I'm guessing "no", but can I at least ask?

Would it matter if I did? Riot can still see deleted threads.

[slayer-pantheon-popcorn] pretty sure Big Lincoln is joking.

I think they might go the Poppy route actually, where something in their kit enables them to get much more out of the armor/mr than other champions if conditions are met.

And who would this hurt exactly? besides the weird tank mf builds or other crap people play instead of inting that is.

Unlikely, but it wouldn't surprise me to see item effects, active or otherwise, that use % Armor/MR as part of a calculation.

I think something similar is good, but the thing is, tanks have low base resists and high hp, whereas fighters have high base resists and low hp. Some major changes would have to be made (and major changes are going to happen).

Id love something like " -x% damage dealt to champions" on every tank item. ######fk darius kappa

Riot has actually stated that they were interested in that kind of idea but not sure if it would actually work, in part due to possibly shutting down non meta builds. At least they have stated they want tanks to scale better than other champions with tank items so that has to either be in the form of extra damage or utility that scales with defensive stats or what you mentioned.
