^^I agree with the OP

^ the problem with that is Fighters or Brawlers will buy those items as well and abuse them. It's kind of like an adc saying "imma buy a BT and have no defenses! Makes me deal more damage, but hey! I'm an adc, and I should be playing back anyways!" Where as a fighter would sacrifice  their tankiness to try and deal more damage by buying this item.

If you add armor/mr/health, it's a easy decision for the fighter to just get it and have a hayday.

I've always wanted to see "role specific" items. like a BT for carries that has a bit of reduced damage and ls in exchange for some defense would be legit. But we'll probably never see that.
