I might come across as a noob here, but i have just found out how to make things like 
or 
a tank item. It's simple enough. Just equip them to 
. his war cry passive making him heal every 3rd attack, the statikk shiv making that third attack come a lot sooner. = health regen = tank. Haven't tried it pvp yet. But i have just had 3 bot games rushing the and it seems to work really well.
you're absolutely adorable!
And then they CC you and it stops you from autoattacking for a split second, then you get 100-0 bursted to death in the blink of an eye.
If what you said was accurate, lifesteal 
would be god tier.
It's a completely legitimate strategy known as "drain-tanking" It is basically when a fighter gains their durability from lifestealing/proccing passive on hit healing through rapid attacks. Usually, drain tanks are relatively squishy stat wise, but have high DPS and rely on in fight self healing to stay alive far longer than a normal fighter would. This also applies to mages who rely heavily on spell vamp to become deceptively durable
and are all commonly considered drain tanks, some more prominently than others ( ) but they can all do it quite well.
A fed ADC also can attain a level of drain tanking through their massive damage output and a lifesteal item, but they generally are less memorable in that role since they don't act as the frontline like most of the drain tanks I listed.
wouldn't 
be a better choice?
If you wanna heal tank as Xin, build AP. You can solo towers once you get enough of that shit.
In my mind their are two kinds of tanks sustain tanks and tanks. The only difference is you kill one if you cc them. I'll let you guess which one.
Either or.
Especially since they let you do what you need to do (be a threat early) and not be a regret later.
heal/sustain is actually not really associated with tanks. A tank is someone who soaks up the damage for the team. Also, by doing this on xin instead of an actual tank item like 
, you will notably be squishier. Think about this for example, if you keep getting cced and poked from a range then when does the sustain matter if you can't even get close enough to hit anyone.
yes well.....let's just say ANYTHING works against bots. 1. they don't teamfight. 2. they don't fight back a lot of the time. So you can't really gauge how well it works unless you take it into PvP(where it will work if you play against other noobs, and you will because you're lvl 12).
by that logic 
is a tank item... but it's not really.
You can't really call it a tank item even in that respect... the term "tank" refers to the ability to receive damage. To enhance this ability, you must increase the maximum capacity for something to receive damage. In this case, you are merely increasing it's self sustaining capabilities which are different from tank.
Nice trolling.
sustain isn't the same as tank. If you are chain cc'd and focused, tank items/abilities allow you to survive when you can't be proccing lifesteal.
That might be a good tip to sustain skirmishes or trades, but once we are talking about teamfights then it's different.
Since in TF, to tank you really need some high raw resistance stats to survive, and as you will get cc'ed your arse off, tanking purely through attack speed bonuses really isn't all that ideal.
But if you already have some major tank builds, with those as side kicks, I think it's quite cool that way.
every form of hard cc and every champ that can 100-0 counters that, so no
Did you know AP makes the healing on War Cry scale? You might want to give 
Xin Zhao a try. :)
This is why AP + Attack Speed Xin Zhao is OP.
presses R
Everything is a tank item now.
