All of my past games have been tanks straight up dominating. Why even take a damage champ when you have champs like skarner dishing out damage like theres no tomorrow? Why do tanks need to do damage? Why can't they just soak up damage and CC targets? There must be something wonky going on if a tank is out damaging the champ who only builds damage.
Riot has mentioned that massive nerfs are needed for Skarner; don't worry, they have recognized how much of an atrocity he is right now, he is supposedly getting a hotfix.
I'm actually not home right now, so I can't play a few real games and see if there are any other tanks doing massive amounts of damage and being tanky at the same time, but I will take your word for it about Skarner since I've seen numerous people complaining about him since 5.16.
It is tank meta,you play tanks stay in style.
Because the game isn't about your KDA. Tanks can't protect towers, kill them towers and let minions do the work.
"League of Tanks" was never really here. Tanks haven't been dominating, they are simply capitalizing on the general lack of knowledge a large portion of the player base has when it comes to playing against tanks. Seriously, tanks have been weak for long enough that many people never played against strong tanks until now.
Just learn their weaknesses and exploit them.
Well Scarner is a Juggernaut. (according to riot) So he trades CC for damage. But riot had already claimed that he's a bit strong after the rework.
As for why Tanks should do damage? In the case of a top lane tank. It would be too clear wave. I feel like that should be the main advantage for a Tank, compared to Bruisers who would otherwise, do the tanks Job better.
Tanks have never really been bad usually the team with more aoe cc/tanks will win any teamfight vs a squishier team with more fighters unless they are massively behind. The more tanks on a team the better imo.
