I recently jumped back into LoL after couple of years of 'hiatus'. Now I find myself dying with apparantly "tanky" champions such as Sion and Shen in mere seconds (1-2) to, for example a Vayne or a Kled or whatever. Kled has a lot of health but still deals a lot of damage. Why would I play Sion? or anything at all? Why would I play this game, where ya facking die in under a second without room to consider my moves? I feel my actions bears nothing but negative effect on the games I'm playing - why is this?

There's no way Vayne kills Sion in two seconds. Vayne needs to auto three times for her true damage.

She kills quickly, but she's not bursting you.

Vayne doesn't kill you in 2 seconds nor does Kled.

Well first off don't take Sion into the jungle, he needs his levels and his farm. Secondly you can't be really behind and expect to tank 3 people for a minute. Just play some more games, when you're ahead you'll see how tanky you can get, but still don't expect to live for too long running into 5 people

I know where you're coming from, and it's because defensive scaling has been continually nerfed over the years. The new rune system in particular doesn't really help tanks out at all. Every class gets rewarding "feel good" runes except for tanks, especially ones that accommodate snowballing. Their itemization is even more disappointing compared to the dps classes.
