With the new season new things are coming, this time we all need to get use to a very new system: items, it can be weird at the beginning but surely it will be better at the end, new items means new opportunities to do new stuffs, and yes, new items can be broken, however, all of them works in an interesting way and it’s just a matter of testing.
The items are divided by Mythics and Legendaries. You can only have 1 Mythic item in your inventory, because it will also give a passive to all the legendaries, like atk speed, armor pen, magic pen, move speed and so on. This time we will be talking about tank items, of course in some situations maybe they can build another thing and it depends on every time, however the usual items for tanks will be those.
Sunfire Aegis:
Stats:
+15 ability haste
+30 armor
+450 health
+30 magic resistance
Passive:
UNIQUE – IMMOLATE: Taking or dealing damage activates this passive for 3 seconds. Deal 12 − 30 (based on level) (+ 1% bonus health) magic damage every second to enemies within 325 (+100% bonus size) units, increased by 25% against minions and 150% against monsters. Damaging enemy champions or epic monsters with this effect adds a stack for 5 seconds, increasing subsequent Immolate damage by 12%, stacking up to 6 times for a 72% increase.
UNIQUE – FLAMETOUCH: At maximum stacks, your basic attacks explode around you, burning nearby enemies for your current Immolate damage for 3 seconds.
MYTHIC PASSIVE: Empowers other Legendary items with 5 ability haste.
This item is specially good for tanks who want to deal damage, since it is very good for long trades. Suits for every tank (specially Amumu!)
Frostfire Gaunlet:
Stats:
+15 ability haste
+50 armor
+350 health
+25 magic resistance
Passive:
UNIQUE – IMMOLATE: Taking or dealing damage activates this passive for 3 seconds. Deal 12 − 30 (based on level) (+ 1% bonus health) magic damage every second to enemies within 325 (+100% bonus size) units, increased by 25% against minions and 150% against monsters.
UNIQUE – SNOWBIND: Basic attacks create a frost field that slows enemies within by 25% (+ 4% per 1000 maximum health) for 1.5 seconds (4 second cooldown).
MYTHIC PASSIVE: Empowers your other Legendary items with 100 health and 7.5% increased size.
This one is specially good for peeling and against champions who needs to walk, like Udyr, Jax, Tryndamere, Trundle and so on! The slow will probably keeps them away and make harder for them to reach any carry or do something.
Turbo Chemtank
Stats:
+15 ability haste
+25 armor
+350 health
+50 magic resistance
Passive:
UNIQUE – IMMOLATE: Taking or dealing damage activates this passive for 3 seconds. Deal 12 − 30 (based on level) (+ 1% bonus health) magic damage every second to enemies within 325 (+100% bonus size) units, increased by 25% against minions and 150% against monsters.
MYTHIC PASSIVE: Empowers your other Legendary items with 5% tenacity and slow resist.
Active:
UNIQUE – SUPERCHARGED: For 4 seconds, grants 75% bonus movement speed and ghosting when moving towards a turret or visible enemy champion (2000 radius). After the duration or when an enemy champion is within 225 range, you emit a shockwave, slowing enemy champions within 450 range by 40% for 2 seconds (90 second cooldown).
This item is perfect for those tanks who want to engage, yes Sett, we are looking at you, also, it gives you slow and tenacity in your legendary items, which means that you will also be better against CC, overall, even if you need damage, you can build this one if they have too much CC to make them waste more resources on you!
Even with those new items there are players who already know how to use them, many of them are pro players, elo boosters and smurfs, the first two have more knowledge about them, but at least you can buy elo boosting now!
