Exactly like Aegis of the Legion except more health, magic resistance, and armor (and cost more, obviously). Or maybe build Aegis into something with a little more of all those. Aegis seems as though it doesn't give enough of everything to take up space late game. Defence is situational, depending on enemies and it doesn't make enough difference by itself in those well-balanced situations.
(With aura if building from Aegis. With or without if built from , , .)

I like finding everything I need in one item. I also like everything that I need to be a little more than, per se, what Aegis offers. We don't have anything that meets that standard in the cost range (3200-3800g). It couldn't hurt.

It would be completely OP if it combined every tank stat (Health, Armour, MR) in a single item. Aegis is different, it's combined the lower tier forms not the higher tier ones.

Not as much armor as Thornmail and not as much magic resist as Force of Nature. Obviously not nearly as much health as Warmog's. I like to think that roughly 550 HP, 60 MR, and 55 AR is not OP for about 3800g.

But then it would be a staple on any tanks, taking away the "choose-your-path" kind of playstyle that itemsets have.

Don't almost all champions have 'staple' items anyway?


EDIT: This may also be a somewhat avoided item. Since all defence tends to be situational for tanks, why would they spend so much money if they happened to go against an entirely AD or entirely AP team? I know I wouldn't waste the extra money if the enemy team were all dumb enough to start with a bad composition (which happens quite often, I have noticed). It would only be viable against well-balanced enemy teams (which should be most the time).
Thornmail also reflects AD while FoN has awesome health regeneration. I doubt this 'higher tier Aegis' would be that much more useful in most people's opinions. But there are those that would prefer it.
