nobody went defensive tree at high elo, but they mega nerfed it.

reduced to 10% reduction cc from 15%. reduced to 2% reduction damage from ennemy with impaired effect from 3%. the ultimate 21pts tiers is now "+3armor and 3mr for each ennemies around".

AHAHAHAH 3 armor and mr that doesnt even work against poke or khartus ultimate.

The only buff is riot replaced a useless skill by a new one increase by 2/4/6/8% armor and mr. too bad it's impossible to get it because if you get it you will have to put more than 21pts in def tree. The new def tree is so bad, why offensive tree get +3% damage, +6%pen, +5% bonus ad, 5%missing health for assist (which is 25% in teamfight) +5% dmg if target is less than 50%, 3% bonus damage if you stack 3 abilities or aa. etc all multiplicative stats, if you make the total, offensive probably increased damage by 15 %, i just don't believe how sûcky is the new def tree.

21-9-0 builds now get you 10% Tenacity if you feel like it, you also get 15% slow reduction out of tier 1. Buff for carries, wooo >_>

They also replaced the stain that was Runic Blessing. I'm happy about that at least.

The new mastery, Adaptive Armor, is the biggest joke skill they've ever tried to add to a mastery tree. It adds 3% of whichever defensive stat you have more bonus of (AR or MR to the one you have less of. 3%. So if you have 100 bonus AR you get +3MR and if you have 400 bonus AR, you get (drumroll please)... +12 MR. It does literally NOTHING early game (depending on whether it rounds up or down, it won't give you even +1 stat point until you get to either +15 or +30 bonus to one of your defensive stats) and even in the case of the most dementedly single-minded stat-stacking possible it'll still be almost impossible for it to give you a bonus equaling even the lowest-tier basic defensive item (Cloth Armor or Null Magic Mantle). It's literally a waste of a mastery point.

Rito wants less boring gameplay, maybe.

People seriously thought the defensive tree wasn't OP before?

Most the talents in the 2nd half of the offense tree are worthless in lane, and weak even after. The utility tree was widely accepted as trash, and still isn't half as good as people think the changes made it.

It's a huge buff to 9 in defense, but yes a nerf to 21 defense.

Tanks going back to the trash can, it seems,

I must be stupid as hell I thought they were all buffs... <_< I literally said to myself, "Really? After cinderhulk they want to buff tanks MORE?"

The 21 point is better since you don't need to invest 4 points in it. The tenacity wasn't too useful in every situation anyways since a lot of tanks function just fine without tenacity.
