THE REAL REASONS TANKS ARE DOMINATING

ZeeWolfZ··4 votes·423 views

It's not the champion, it's how cheap Tank Items are.

**Tank Items vs Typical Top Items ** (TOP build items vary, this is a General example)

item 3068 2,700 vs item 3748 3,500 item 3025 2,700 vs item 3031 3,600 item 3742 2,900 vs item 3071 3,500 item 3065 2,700 vs item 3156 3,250 item 3075 2,350 vs item 3153 34,00

TANK Build = 13,350 FIGHTER Items = 17,250

Difference of = 3,900

Just a few examples

And their gold slot value is also lower than pretty much any AD item. It's intended to be cheaper and more acessible so you have options when behind. Problem is, you get melted late game and is basically a CC bot as a tank.

Not sure if I Understood it correctly, but hope I did. Never seen full tank melted late game. Current best winning champs are tanks Like Ekko 57.7% globably, Volibear 54.15%, Sion 54% and this is extremely high. Where Ideal for a champ is around 50-51%.

The people who argue % doesn't matter, haven't usually played in Diamond + Elo.

Reasonable change but all are commonly used in very different situations. Almost every adc still uses Infinity, Titanic is still very popular, bortk is common with Shyvana, Ez, Noc, Zed.

Ekko win ratio is 49% at late game. Sion is 51%. Voli is 50%. Only shows that tank stats are actually only good early-mid game.

You being unranked really hurts your argument.

In my last 40 Ranked matched, an average match time is 25-35 Minutes. Only 5-6 Matches have reached 40 minute mark.

It's a shame rageblade is getting nerfed, it fit on kayle so well :(

Thornmail doesn't seem as good as it used to be in the past.

Maw should stay where its at given the nature of the item and how its currently being abused against mages

I agree. AD items are over buffed. AP items are being reworked only for the worst.

item 3124 2800 item 3087 2600 item 1321 2550 item 3031 3600 item 3072 3600/item 3153 3400 item 3046 2550/item 3036 2700

Granted these are for Tryndamere.

item 3124 is ridiculous and should've been nerfed at it's release. It is being nerfed hard. item 3087 is reasonable and really only used by Yasuo, while everyone else uses item 3046 2550 for being a better version with damage reduction. I don't see how item 3111 is in the formula, just like any boots. item 3036 is not a fair argument since item 3135 2650. However, item 3036 has better stats.

AP items are trash right now, everyone knows it.

item 3124 is ridiculous but is basically core vs everything. Especially tanks. item 3087 Reasonable? Try item 3124 + item 3087 = split push god item 1321 Because Tryndamere is very vulnerable to CC, and most of the time I find myself needing to build them over item 1306 or item 1316 .

item 3087 /item 3046 are honestly situational to me. If I'm dueling more than split pushing, I get item 3046 . If i'm split pushing, item 3087 is much better for the proc. item 3036 /item 3033 for tanks. Same as item 3135 .

Here, mid lane kat: item 3146 3400 item 1311 2550 item 3001 2350 (this and gunblade can be switched in order, though depends on match up) item 3041 1400/item 32853200 /item 3157 3500 item 3135 2650 item 3089 3800
