400 hp

UNIQUE Passive- True Resolve: After taking true damage heal half of it over the next 3 seconds.

Add what ever bells and whistles to it to really make it a full item however these are the gist. I know true damage is supposed to be an end all be all vs defenses however its pretty dumb when somone plays a tank and tanks dmg like they should only for doing what they are supposed to do being a blatant mistkake just cause... Camille Darius (if he uses his r poorly) Fiora Garen Kayle MasterYi Olaf Pyke (if he uses hie r poorly)RekSai Vayne Velkoz exist and these are just champions with a significant amount already built in. 50% is really high however ignite and grevious wounds are things that would cut 40% taking it down to 30% and then this is also a heal delayed over 3 seconds so a fast team all in would still mean somthing. Point being that if the enemy team proves to have an obscene amount of true damage and one is playing a tank you dont die fast through 200 resistances and have nothing good to do about it other then buying an extra second with item 3065 or item 3083. It would just be a situational item for extreme cases where the healing could potentially amount to 500+ over the course of a tanks fights(as other wise it would be better to just get the fore mentioned high hp items).

Only problematic true damage is Vayne is far as I am concerned. Otherwise... hmmm... let's see what counters true damage... OH. What is that? HEALTH? Health, health counters true damage. Vayne is a problem here because she deals % max hp as true damage, so there is literally no way to counter it, she can kill you in the same amount of shots regardless of what you build.

Champions like Vel'Koz don't need more counters... he already has no mobility, high true damage is his only saving grace that makes him viable.

And 50% healed is way too much either way. That's 65% if you build Visage. Vel'Koz can deal like 2k in true damage if he gets huge(Passive + R), you would heal for 1,300 damage??? As his laser is damage over 2.5 seconds. You would effectively be deleting these champions from the game. Outside Vayne(stupid damage), true damage isn't supposed to be able to get reduced... That's its function. Maybe there could be a champion closer to that though, like the Darkin Armor Ovenaas that Gilgayu made, his passive is a decent counter to true damage while not being too oppressive and still useful against all damage types.

Along the years they added way too much true damage dealers or runes (conqueror). Personally i don't like it, it kinda unbalance the whole roaster

Just a nitpick but if Pyke misses his execution, the damage becomes physical IIRC
