The tank meta is going to lead to an adc meta

The Soulforged··2 votes·952 views

With the introduction of the jungler tank items, tanks have become a dominating force. They've been able to tank large amount of dmg, while dealing large amounts of cc, and decent dmg via gromp/cinderhulk. The thing with tanks is, the only role that can effectively kill them are adc's. Anything else will have a large amount of trouble with tanks, and won't be able to really kill them at all (rip my main poppy). The fact that adc's need to be able to kill tanks better will lead to an adc meta where adc's are the focus of the team to destroy the tanks. Even tank killer champions like koggles are having trouble with killing tanks though. This will eventually lead to a buff cycle for the adc's putting more power in their damage, and considering riot, they'll also kill tanks as well leading to a place where tanks are weak, while adc's are overbuffed to counter the powerful tanks that are nonexistant.

I feel like you ranted about this before and you have multiple accounts. This topic is getting old.

the meta shifts, its been hyper carry focused before, it will cycle through it again. This isn't s1 of league this is season 5, everything your saying has been said and it dosn't matter. I'm glad your main was dethroned because now sum 1 else's main gets to shine for some time before going back to the lowest shit tier champion (for all you urgot mains)

actually, to beat tanks, you need bruisers. darius meta incoming.

I was always thinking about how bruisers could also beat tanks, but the adc's will kill the bruisers before they can kill tanks.

i meant less in teamfights but rather in lane. tanks cant really kill eachother in lane, but bruisers can kill them, push them, harrass them and dive them. they can zone them and deny them good. bruiser is the king class among champions. they dont back down from no one but most of them dont hyperscale as much as the tanks and adc's do nowadays. if you shut down a tank tho, he aint getting fed so much.

as soon as cinderhulk is getting nerfed, i think we really might see bruiser meta rising.

To beat tanks, you need bigger tanks

To beat those tanks, you need a Vayne because anything bigger just gets broken
