I miss the way they made me feel actually more durable.

Plz, make armor great again.

Armor is good. Buy some fucking health with it too to make it useful.

Also, if you're looking for armor, you need to buy more than just a Thornmail. Like yeah no shit 80 armor isn't going to make you a tank. That's like buying a single GA and declaring yourself an ADC.

Yea cause you know if you build pure defense you are useless...

Not to mention juggs and bruisers are supposed to be able to mix their build with defense items.

Stop acting like pure damage should always win.

You still have to build more than one fucking thornmail if you want to be tanky.

I don't think you understand how mordes shield works. Buying just thornmail provided sufficient tankiness from S3-S8. It stopped working when they redid runes and upped damage.

Then maybe, did you think, it shouldn't be like that?

Most juggernauts have to run two armor items.

Pro tip, every point of armor adds exactly 1% of your effective health vs physical damage. The way it works out, it is more cost efficient than buying health at 2400 and magic resistance is the same. Every point of magic resistance is 1% of your EHP vs magic damage. Now you know ;)

And another person that doesn’t understand how much hp Mordes shield gives him... and that this is a complaint about armor pen, and true damage...

Here's what you don't understand, shields are temporary health. So if you had base health + bonus health + shield if that is = or > 2400 then armor and mr become very cost effective stats. Glad to teach you :)

Except when they shred off 24% of it by default and then conquerer kicks in and then last whisper becomes a thing and oh look. The tank just got popped instantly.

Armor pen, shred and true damage are only good stats because armor is such an oppressive and still important stat in the first place. I can tank effectively. What's your excuse?
