You know tanks are garbage when people start playing Shyvana like a mage...

Hmm...tank items are garbage right now. What should I do? Oh wait, I'll just build AP on Shyvana (who's supposed to be a tank), because damage is so out of control right now that even a tank champion can burst people with an AP build.

  1. Shyvanna isn't a tank.

  2. Just because one build is strong doesn't mean other builds aren't.

No Shyvana actually is a tank. Nice try though.

no she isnt, she is a diver, her ULT makes her a diver. and she has no CC , she has high damage output and a great 1 vs 1 duelist

tanks such as ivern, maokai, malphite, sion, braum, leaona, taric, etc etc

has sheilds/engage /cc and high durability / disengage but mainly focused on CC abilities and durability with low damage out put.

Actually her ult is a knockback, and she gets free tank stats. She's a tank dude.

Shyvana has never been a tank. She gets free tank stats? Guess what so does Orianna, does that make Orianna a tank?

She isn’t a tank. She’s a fighter and diver. Her core build isn’t tank items because her abilities don’t scale well with them.

see you seem to have a misconception here, remember:

tanky =/= tank

example, mundo. hes tanky, but he isnt a tank. same applies for darius, garen, nasus, etc. theyre juggernauts. jax can take about 4-5 towershots before dying in a rank one ult. that doesnt make him a tank. sylas, tanky from RoA, but more of a diver guy.

a tank will never deal as much damage as shyvana can.

shyvana is a diver.

Yeah, and Garen gets free tank stats as well, so he's obviously a tank.

MrFawknSunshine1 votes

you build him with cdr, hp, supportive/tank items and you play him as such

You sure ivern and singed are tanks? Singed Always seemed more Like a ap juggernaut/bruiser and i think ivern is a enchanter(?).

MrFawknSunshine1 votes

they would be hybrid tanks. where being a tank isnt their primary objective. but clearly has the tools to do so.

Ivern, jarvan and galio are not tanks. XD and Taric is arguable.

jarvan is listed as a tank, he has multiple forms of cc and engage , old j4 use to get free armor stats from his abilities. most people play him as a off tank/bruiser but can easily go full tank and be played as such.

galio is a tank and was a tank. he has hard cc, engage /disengage tool use to shield/reduce damage to allies when he ulted. just cuz they keep nerfing his def stats cuz he has too much offensive power dont mean he isnt a tank.

and what would you classify IVERN as? a mage? a carry? a diver/fighter? juggernaut? assassin? nope he is a tank.

Jarvan is a diver. Galio is a control mage. Ivern is a fucking enchanter. If he’s a tank then Janna is a fucking tank.

Galio and Taric are both classed as Wardens (Tanks) here: https://leagueoflegends.fandom.com/wiki/Champion_classes/Tank

Also, if you go to the store and shop by champion class, selecting "tank" will include both of these.

Those lists also say jarvan is a tank and we all know he isn’t. -.- No tanks build consists of Warrior Cleaver Titanic Steraks Ga.

True Garen3 votes

Currently, Jarvan will be found on this page: https://leagueoflegends.fandom.com/wiki/Champion_classes/Fighter , under "Diver". Anyway, Neither Galio nor Taric normally build those items, I think.

AP shyvana is strong in teamfight, Ad Shyvana is a strong splitpusher.

Because when tanks are remotely relevant there's a massive bitchapalooza, almost as bad as assassins.

tanks are still good because fools focus tanks first and not the 15 kill 0 death jinx that has a passive speed boost per assist / kill / tower / inhib [slayer-jinx-unamused]
