does give 6 stats, but that's its niche. Besides, all its stats (barring health and mana) are meant to benefit AD champions, specifically the most caster-ish of them. Also, don't delude yourself that AP champions are going to buy this. If they want armor, they'll buy things like. Also, AD champions have zero armor items for a reason. This item barely fills its "goal" of helping champions like or. All you're gonna do with this is potentially break ADCs while making already-tanky bruisers even tankier. Because let's be real: AD tanks will be the ones benefitting most from this item, since the defense stats provided by this item will scale off of their own higher tank stats, while the AD benefits remain the same.

I think the design idea doesn't really solve anyone's problems. Besides, 4 stats make it unclear what the item is actually trying to achieve, and clutters the item's worth while requiring a price increase to avoid making it completely bahroken.
