Maybe now it's time to think about upgrading your boot, invest in
Gunmetal Greaves (Increases Attack Speed and Movement Speed).

Randuin's Omen TIPS: This item is built to counter crit-heavy builds. It provides a large health pool and armor while reducing damage from critical strikes, making you much tougher in head-on engagements. When you are critically struck, you gain stacks that boost your movement and slow resistance, helping you hold position and control fight spacing. — Perfect for tanks and bruisers who need to stand up to high-crit auto-attackers and survive extended teamfights.

Reflects damage and reduces enemy healing +200 Max Health +75 Armor
Thorns: When struck by an attack, deal 20 + 6% bonus Armor + 1% bonus Health magic damage to the attacker.
Entwine: Apply 50% Grievous Wounds to enemy champions for 3 second(s) when stuck by their attacks or dealing damage to them.

Thornmail TIPS: This item reflects a portion of incoming physical damage back to attackers as magic damage and applies an effect that reduces enemy healing effectiveness. A strong pick versus teams with heavy auto-attack damage and sustain — ideal for tanks and bruisers who need to absorb focus and cut down opponent healing.
Dead Man's Plate
Increases Movement Speed +350 Max Health +70 Armor
Relentless: +5% Move Speed.
Momentum: Moving builds Momentum, granting up to 40 Move Speed at 100 stacks. Attacking removes all Momentum. Stacks decay when movement is impaired.
Crushing Blow: Attacks deal up to 100 bonus magic damage based on Momentum removed. Melee attacks with max Momentum slows by 75% for 1 second. 2800
Dead Man's Plate TIPS: This item provides a substantial boost to health and armor, and its “Momentum” passive builds movement speed as you move—up to a cap—until you land an attack, which then triggers “Crushing Blow”, dealing bonus magic damage based on the momentum removed and slowing enemies at full stacks. This makes it an excellent choice for tanks and bruisers who need extra mobility to engage quickly and sustain through fights. Tips: ideal for champions who need to close distance and absorb damage; pairs extremely well with Spellblade items (e.g., Divine Sunderer) for additional burst damage on engage.
Frozen Heart
Reduces all nearby enemies Attack Speed +80 Armor +250 Max Mana +20 Ability Haste
Winter's Caress: Basic attacks and magic damage caused by you or inflicted upon you and nearby allies, will apply stacks of Chill to the enemy champion for 3 seconds. Each stack of Chill slows enemy attack speed by 9%, up to a maximum of 4 stacks or 36% attack speed reduction. Each individual ability has a 3 seconds cooldown on applying Chill stacks. 2650
Frozen Heart TIPS: This item is ideal for tanks and support champions who need to slow enemy attack speed and maintain a healthy mana pool. It provides substantial bonuses to armor, mana, and ability haste. The “Winter’s Caress” passive applies up to four stacks of Chill on enemy champions through your basic attacks, abilities, or any magic damage they take—each stack slows their attack speed by 9%, up to 36% at full stacks. This weakens enemy marksmen and fighters, making it harder for them to deal sustained damage in fights.
