The new runes have given many ranged supports much higher poke damage in the early game, making it more punishable for Tanks to cash their Spoils of War stacks. We're giving the heal on Targon's a small bump to ensure they still have ways to secure their gold.
OFC they knew, and then didn't buff more base stats.
PopcornBunni3 votesThis is what happens when a whole community bitches about a "tank meta" consisting only of three tanks that happen to had been explicitly overbuffed while the rest of the class sat in obscurity of 44% winrate from their gutted itemization. When the entire game then changes to be more fragile, it's only going to make for dead """tanks"""

To be fair, that rune use to give bonus resistances instead, and tanks up top will often have 
on cooldown.
SuperCosmicHobo1 votesLol it's funny to watch a few PBE with tanks staying in the back line when Zoe starts chunking hp down very fast and efficiently.
Metal Janna1 votesJust played my first game since the update and my Support 
feels a lot tankier. Thier jg 
was ridiculously ineffective. But then his timing was also bad.
