No it's not a joke .... the word is "Armor"

Note that I don't want a league of bruisers back .... but now building armor ( both P and M.def ) is just meaningless.

All matches are always like this:

THESE ARE JUST EXAMPLE _____ I'M TALKING OF DMG IN GENRAL

x: Look LB it's feed y: Buy M.def Still one-shotted like nothing changed

x: Just surr .... Look at that 7/0 Yasuo y: Buy P.def! 1 q and bb to half of your HP

x: Oh! there is Illaoi out of position Illaoi Triple Kill x/y/z : Sh**t!!!!

I can continue for ages .... but the point is armor, in the current state, has no value..... Want to fix the game? Realize how armor had never been so useless from S2

Now you guys can downvote .... but let me ask ... are you realy happy of gettign oneshotted by anything in the game :/?

Armor helps to relieve burst damage so that you can outplay your opponent without just dying. If you're against a fed enemy player, of course you're at a disadvantage - they have enough items to compensate for your defenses. If you could "just build armor" to counter a fed enemy, the game would feel very stale, since dominating in lane wouldn't transition to midgame power. IMO, armor is fine as it is. If you're against a fed LB or a 7/0 Yasuo, the problem isn't that you can't counter it with items - the problem is that they're fed. Asking for an increase to armor protection is just a protest against people being able to play the game well.

My point is that Riot wants the game to be about playing well, not beating your enemy in rock-paper-scissors.

Illaoi is a completely different beast. Tentacles be strong, yo.

Yeah lets bring back tank assasins with buffing armor items more then they need it. Everybody loves some tank ekko, it wasnt cancer at all. Haha, its funny because...it was horrible. No we dont need better tankitemization, period. The part you miss is that if somebody who builds squishy snowballs on you, he can still be punished for bad plays. Meanwhile the guy who build fulltank and has better itemization then squishies will just 1 v 5 and it doesnt matter how he positions. I would rather fight a 5-0 lb then any 5-0 tank.

Ok i can't say i enjoy this, but i really don't wanna see a full tank team win just because they can't die or take enough damage to even be worried. The tank meta is finally clearing now please let it die out. The worst moments in my league experience are nothing compared to the fed rammus with 800 armor and 530 m. def. He was unkillable able to 1v5, kill 4 of us, and still run off alive. It came to the point in that game i started trolling my adc friend by pulling him towards him and walking away for a few laughs. Thats all that game was to be fun again. Something unkillable as that shouldnt ever happen again. I agree that armor should have a point, but to get that middle point is hard and i feel its better now then it has been for a long time.

Here is the deal: you are against an Yas. You have 2 options: Build damage early and bet on stomping him or build Armor early and focus on not being beaten by him. If you decide to build defensively only AFTER the opponent started to snowball, you will get beaten in the same manner until you reach late game, where everyone has full build and nothing else matters.

Just want to point out, LB & Yasuo have a fair bit of mobility. League's problem is (and has been for a WHILE) the excessive mobility. An adc can take out a tank, but they SHOULD be able to take out a tank, that IS their role. Tank's SHOULD counter assassins/burst mages BECAUSE they can take the burst and then pound them. And then of course, burst kills adc. The PROBLEM is that tanks can't kill burst right now BECAUSE burst can just blink away (by various means). so: adc kills tank burst kills adc tank gets boned.

Okay first of all you just described a champion that gets to ignore armor, and you also just described LB, who is a mid game powerspike Burst Assassin. Of course your MR isn't going to do shit. Your 3-4 MR items in the late game will though
