Tank Runes are shit. Armor and MR do basically nothing. Everyone oneshots you. So, are tanks coming back?

They are REALY giving title 'The Advisor' to people who justify their opinions with nothing but periods?

Like really, someone mean could respond to you with cliche 'you are borderline bronze what do you know', and they would have strongest point than you do now.

Do you understand what that title means?

Expressing opinions with rude tone and no justification whatsoever has nothing to do with 'help' or 'support'.

Exactly, this is outside the scope of the title. Posting like this is just posting as a regular person.

Basically this.

I can’t stop people from thinking that I’m some sort of figure of higher power (because I kind of am, but not much). I’m free to express opinions on things just like every other poster.

If I’m interpreted as rude, then clearly I need to come across my thoughts better. I guess I’m more just frustrated when people claim my primary class is weak currently when I know that isn’t the case. Outside of Ornn and Mao, most tanks are relatively fine (with Ornn and Mao being busted so to speak).

And this frustration comes out with some rather rude wording. It’s a mistake on my part, but I’m only human and I’m still a player like everyone else.

I am free to express my opinion just as everyone else is on the board. I am a player just as everyone else.

If I come off as rude, I apologize.

Are we playing the same game..?

An akali/katarina/whatever not dying because of lifesteal is not called a tank.

There is a lot of variety in the game right now. Depending on the particular champions and runes in a game tanks can be OP broken or completely useless and easy to kill.

EDIT: If people are seeing something else in game feel free to comment, because this is exactly what I'm seeing. Some games Tanks are very strong and do their jobs well, other games they don't have much of an impact at all.

...Tanks are some the strongest champions in the game right now. Everybody is talking about how strong tanks are.

If tanks suck: Why does Leona have a 37% ban rate in Diamond+? Leona, of all champions. This is after she got nerfed because she was running around solo killing people as a tank support. Why are people picking Shen support to get another tank on the team? Why does Ornn have a 59% ban rate? Why do Ornn and Mao Kai have a 20% pick rate together? Why does Alistar almost have that much by himself?

Let's see. Leona has 3 stuns and her e passes through minions. You can nerf her all you want, unless you rework her she will still be a pain in the ass. Ornn is picked because of the passive, just remove it and boom, noone plays him. Shen is played because of the Ult, remove it and noone will play him. Alistar has also 3 stuns and the ultimate that represents the dignity of the tank, so alistar is a true tank that does not suck. Okay got me there, but I knew Alistar was good. As for Maokai I don't know why he is played.

That is true. If you removed an entire ability from a champion, people would not want to pick them for play on a team. Just like how if you removed an entire leg from Tom Brady, people would not want to pick him for play on a team.

The question was not "How do you make a champion unplayable?" The question was "How are tanks bad if people are changing their picks to get a tank?" "How are tanks bad if champions that are pick or ban are tanks?"

Answer: If players who know what they are doing are picking tanks to make sure that they are on their team or banning them to make sure they are not on the enemy team, they aren't bad.

Just because Leona is good and Leona is a tank, it doesn't mean that tanks are good, you can totally change their class and make them, I don't know, assassins, and they would still be played because of those special features.

I'm adaptable. unlike some of the morons here on the forums, I actually play what I find fun, and if I want to climb, I play the champs that they kick and scream about being "OP"

Compensation buffs for Ornn.

He was sadly over-nerfed into the dumpster and back to being trash tier like release day.

MOST TANKS ARE FINE.

Maokai Sion Shen Leona are outliers.

Fixing the Support tanks is simple; NERF AFTERSHOCK.

Ralanr1 votes

Or just nerf the Support tanks. Like they did with Leona.

Oh let me play some of my favorite toplaner, Sion , oh, wait, I get oneshotted by everything even if I go full tank. I guess I should have gone full AD instead because that's the only way I would be useful.
