As a tank main...

I can't wait for the Assassin update.

More assassins = Less marksmen Marksmen > Tanks Assassins > Marksmen Tanks > Assassins

Plus the rework of Armor Pen.

Sion shall rise again.

It's true though, especially on mages and assassins.

HazyCloud7Oct 20, 20168 votes

If they keep edge of night the way it is on PBE expect to see less mages as well, because Zed, Jayce, and Talon are going to absolutely murder them with some combination of Edge of Night + Hexdrinker + Merc treads.

Champion SkinOct 20, 20164 votes

AurelionSol is going to be so sad... Oh the enemy assassin jumped on top of me... and he has a spell shield for 10 seconds... great... uhhh... I guess I will just be a punching bag for 10 seconds and probably die then (Q won't work because assassin is too close and ult won't work because the spell shield)

I guess he will have to build item 3030 (I think it would break the spell shield?)

MunchCrunchLunchOct 20, 20164 votes

i love being a 5500 hp ulting mundo and die in under 5 seconds.

Hrd2H1tOct 20, 20169 votes

Tanks need a mixture of both armor/mr and hp, unless the enemy team has good mixed damage, then both armor and mr are needed.

MunchCrunchLunchOct 20, 20161 votes

i had over 200 armor/mr. i didn't even have boots. i had 2 banshee veisl. they were mostly ap.

RalanrOct 20, 20168 votes

...Why two banshee? Visage, banshee, and warmogs should be enough? Grab a locket just in case.

MunchCrunchLunchOct 20, 20162 votes

well apparently it wasnt enough i had visage too

this was my build (i had cinderhulk but then sold it for a resistances item. still had 5k hp with the elixier).

tabis spirit visage 2 banshee veils randuins and dead mans plate

and apparently that isn't enough to tank 3 damage dealers

regardless my team was shit i did more damage that anyone that game and i took the most damage none of them had decent cs or anything

i remember when mundo used to just walk and not give a fuck last season now he can't outheal focus damage from 2 people.

LanarrinOct 20, 20162 votes

thats fine and all but you are the tank and have the whole w and stand there for damage... so i mean. not hard to tank entire teams and do the most damage based on cinder and your W.

crippler38Oct 20, 20161 votes

and cleavers do a quarter of your hp.

DarkHeadgearOct 20, 20161 votes

Nope.

crippler38Oct 20, 20162 votes

isn't the base damage LITERALLY a quarter of your current hp?

AlienPrimateOct 20, 20162 votes

It does if your build is item 3135 item 3020 item 3151 item 3001 with penetration runes and masteries to make the enemy MR 0.

Off Meta EvanOct 20, 20161 votes

in my opinion DrMundo has the same problem as say Kassadin or Vladimir where their really isn't anyway to balance them as a concept. a champion that simply doesn't die, while dealing good damage, and can be at the heart of the team fight unscathed is fucked as an idea so honestly i'm perfectly fine with DrMundo being a husk of is former self because the only alternative is to make him super busted. same thing with kass and vlad, kass is supposed to be the a hyper mobile mage that is anti mage from base stats and magic shields, so he's good at deleting ADC's with his mobility, and good at killing mages.... so literally only AD fighters or assassins can stop him and nobody else... BALANCED, and vlad is the worst of them all, being a life stealing, tank mage, mage was already a role that was based around being in a safe spot and dealing damage, but now you do that and game life for it... k.

RalanrOct 20, 20164 votes

Yeah. Mundo could use a rework to make him a bit more interactive as a juggernaut.

Though I'm probably wrong. I just don't like his current kit because I feel he ruins any new toys for actual tanks.

Off Meta EvanOct 20, 20165 votes

i agree with that entirely, it feels like anytime a good tank item is introduced its immediately nerfed so it won't unleash the beast that is mundo when he's op. thats why i feel warmogs isn't allowed to be good because if it is mundo will go ape shit.

woodvsmurphOct 20, 20161 votes

remove his %hp damage on cleaver (q). Do this, and he is 100% able to be balanced.

Off Meta EvanOct 20, 20164 votes

i actually think his clevers are the most balanced part about him, he has a skill shot that is blocked by minions that can be easily dodged, thats fine. my issue is literally all the rest of his kit. all of it is point and click damage, his R scales so well, is so strong, and is on such a low cd that any hp you use for the abilities is gained almost immediately, and from a gameplay perspective he's extremely boring, all you do is afk farm for 20 minutes then team fight, there is no incentive to play aggressive or get a lead.

ItsbeghdevOct 20, 20162 votes

It would be easily dodged if it was actually all that visible, which it really isn't. That much %current health damage on a spammable, rapid skillshot is definitely irritating to play against, whether you're going balls-deep on Mundo or playing as passively as you can as any melee champ. Of course, I'm terrible, and this is just, like, my opinion, man, but yeah.

Off Meta EvanOct 21, 20162 votes

oh its annoying for sure, you're not wrong, but i'd take annoying over op any day.

ItsbeghdevOct 21, 20161 votes

Well, Vlad as a battlemage has always been supposed to be less about safe positioning than other mages, and he's becoming even less and less about safety in general as he's getting tweaked to be more about taking risks. Of course, I'm probably only okay with this because I'm a Swain main and like that I get to flip my ult on then walk right into the enemy team sometimes and come out with a fight won, so... don't listen to me.

Off Meta EvanOct 21, 20162 votes

i was thinking more so against melee champs, in team fight he's a much shorter range than other mages so yeah he's not as safe but because item 3065 is so good on him and he gains hp with damage and damage with hp, fully realized he super unkillable while dealing shit tons of damage. and any of Garen Darius Sion Malphite Shen Illaoi Poppy these, have a snow balls chance in hell of doing anything against him once he has item 3116 .

LanarrinMar 15, 20171 votes

you mean like a Garen with item 3071 as his only offensive item the other 5 are pure tank items

Off Meta EvanMar 15, 20171 votes

Well garen is actually really garbage tho. His kit is so linear it makes him basically useless against champions that counter him, sure he can soak up damage but someone like Sion or poppy can soak damage AND be useful. There is legitmently no reason to pick him over any of the other juggernauts

dominusxOct 19, 20162 votes

yay more shitty tanks every game that somehow deal dmg with pure deff items!!. JK even tho i hate tanks actually the new tanks like ekko and shit maybe poppy too they are far more easy to deal with than life drainning adc's and mages that oneshot entire teams by pressing 3buttons. I rly wanna get some action on the whole diver class Xin/SHyv/Yi all this i want em back so much..

nah just broken to death. W = 90% damage reduction and 100% hp regen. AA true damage to death.

GULAG 4 UOct 20, 20165 votes

W reduces damage taken by 70% at max rank and it the last skill you max. Also doesn't regen nearly as much as 100% of your HP. True damage scales off bonus ad and you want AS. And you can't move nor do shit during W neither too. Yi isn't broken to death.
