[Item Concept] Life steal item for tanks

I believe if there was a life steal item that was for tanks, the more health you have, the more live steal you get. Yes, I know about the keystone mastery that does that, but I'm talking about an actual item. Of course there would have to be a life steal cap on it, because and and would just be unstoppable.

What I was thinking was that, it would give you flat HP and a unique passive that would give the champion life steal based on % Max HP.

Why not have an item which increases base health regen.

Normalize health regen a bit for tanks so its decently high and now you have an item which can up your base hp regen, it would synergize a ton with hp regen items and masteries.

On its own the item would not be much better then other hp regen items but add two and you get fat hp regen.

For example

Steraks armor Cost 2700 350 hp 35 armor 35 magic resist

Unique passive: Increases base health regen by 100% Taking 400-1800 damage in 5 seconds grants steraks persistance which gives an additional 100% bonus to base health regen, 45 second cooldown.

So say we have a tank with 25 hp regen this would double it to 50 adding an extra 100% from items you would get to 100 hp regen, rather than 75, and 200 hp regen when you take a massive hit.

It would be about as cost efficient as steraks gage. And it scales with your other items and stats similar to steraks gage.

I think there are few tanky champions this item would be overpowered on, and the rest probably wouldn't care about it at all. Renekton, Mundo, etc. would only buy it if it provides better survivability than the myriad of other tank items available, and characters who don't use basic attacks as frequently have better defensive options already.

In short, I think you'd have to overtune it just to make it a viable option, which probably means it's not the greatest item idea.

This belongs in Gameplay

Also its called health regen, tanks do not deal damage hence to why they do not have a life steal item since it is based on damage dealt
