Why is everyone in such extreme denial about the tanky metagame right now?

{quoted}

Some ADC build , other build one of the two along with sometimes and the is built on every mage. I mostly play Viktor and Malz and after Void staff (and Liandry on Malz) it doesn't take ages for tanks to die.

We are not talking about pure tanks. You aren't reading properly.

Okay. I was Nautilus top last night.

End game. about 5.5k Hp. My W gave me a 950 shield. I had which gave an additional 345 shield and i even bought to get another 550 shield (or to shield my ADC further if needed).

so. 5.5k HP and 1845 in shields (7345 total)

I had 235 total armor and 176 MR.

It took their lucian less than 4 seconds to kill me after he built .

I'm an Illaoi main. but if their ADC builds or . Its very hard to survive a teamfight. Even if i build full tank.

I will say most tanks (of all shapes/sizes) are pretty good, but its definitely not a tank meta.

Ah, there's your problem. You built pure tank. You'd need some tanky items or pure damage items as Nautilus and that won't be a problem because they'd die before they could hit you a few times. It is 100% a tanky meta. Not a tank meta. I never said tank meta. Tanks get wrecked, tanky champions do the wrecking.

I used to think a lot like you do, but here's the way it works.

You initiate, get focused, and die. Your team should (And this is a big risk) follow up on your initiation and continued CC. Likelihood is, you should be trading one death for at least 3 assists. Anything less than that, and you should be able to either sustain through it or just run away until allies come to save your tanky ass.

tanky=/= bruiser. tanky is not what you are thinking of, i can assure you

You're thinking of tank. There is a difference between being full something and partially something. Bruisers are partially tanky and partially retarded damage machines.

So a Bruiser fits the line between tank and full damage. i.e. tanky. Items that are tanky items include but are not limited to:

Cleaver, Hourglass, Abyssal, and Maw.

Vi is a tanky champion. She is a bruiser. She deals lots of damage and can take a huge beating. Braum is a tank champion, he deals minimal damage but serves as a wall and a disruptor for his team.

That said, some pure tank champions can build one or two (or sometimes no) tanky items and still deal tons of damage (See: Gragas, Zac). Some non-tanky/bruiser champions can build tank items and shred through everyone like butter without dying (See: Kog, Ekko, Yasuo).

You said "Metagame" and as i take it, and from what i have seen, that is a term that is not "clearly" defined.

I did, but I never said it was a tank meta.

It is used interchangeably.

No it is not.

The comprehension and wording skills of people posting on Gameplay is literally zero XD.

Correct

And also, I never tried to argue, simply as that you better rephrase what you said. As it is still confusing, as you know, Gameplay's writing is literally Zero.

What is there to better phrase? it's there in plain black and white. How is that confusing at all?

So kudos to you mate.

What?

We need more detail and context bro. All you gave was content, and as such the context is up for grabs.

You really don't.

So git gud at context. Like i helped you out, but it seems you didn't appreciate the clarification.

It didn't need clarification. It was plain as day. "Why is everyone in such extreme denial about the tanky metagame right now?"

Tanky metagame.

Tanky

Metagame

What more do you need?
