Get rid of the crit reduction and give it move speed instead.

I know juggernauts are supposed to be immobile, but melee champions will never build randuins over dead mans plate when they have no other source of move speed.

The only reason Dead Mans Plate is so popular is because every other class gets multiple move speed items other than tanks.

Assassins have duskblade and ghostblade Mages have ludens echo and lich bane ADCs have statikk shiv, runnans, phantom dancer, and trinity force Tanks have dead mans plate

Riot please... melee champions buy dead mans plate and swift boots because there are literally no other speed options. Sure, champions like Olaf or Darius can build ninja tabi and randuins and take a lot less damage... but they will still die to poke eventually because they will never catch champions like Ezreal or Lucian without some move speed items to help them.

After all, why do we all buy boots? We could all just buy much stronger defensive items instead... but we don't. Instead we keep buying the cheap boots because anyone who doesn't will just be kited to death and poked down eventually which can get incredibly frustrating.

That is why dead mans plate is popular. When you have ranged poke casters running around with 10% bonus move speed from ludens echo... the only chance you have at catching them before they poke you to death is dead mans plate.

Randuins could be good, but you have to give it some move speed. If you can't even catch up to people... you will never be able to use the active... and the whole item becomes worthless.

Instead of nerfing dead mans plate into the ground, try making randuins appealing in the same way dead mans plate is appealing: move speed.
