Tanks are useless in this game now we are out damage/mobile/tank.

Seriously by the time you even finish your first tank item no matter what ADC will be doing 200-300 dmg to a tank with their own first time. I keep on getting btched at because I die a lot with tank but the main reason is because of stupid balance giving so much damage. Tank items cost a fortune but the return in game profit is so pure crap. Damage items practically have damage + built in Crit/Cool down/life steal/% hp damage built in to them now where as tank only have Armour plus a effect that is only useful when you have 3 items into the game.

Like god damn look at the top champion tiers right now makes me laugh. If your team suck even when you get them fed there is no way of carrying because I'm playing a tank where as champions that go high damage can delete me and for some reason feels like they tank more damage then I do. Example?Jax Ekko Garen Mordekaiser these guys aren't tank but for some reason their item build lets them have so much damage while having so much hp.

I don't expect to win vsing a 1v1 on a tank but I DO EXPECT to at least survive or beat a fool who is caught out like ADC, not to be out mobile/damage by them even though I cc them to oblivion with over 300 armour. Funny part is they even have lower cool down for their skills/mobility. Seriously balance in this game is horrible that it makes me question if it's better for this game to die off so Riot actually takes feed back more serious.

How to make tanks viable:

  • Nerf Botrk
  • Nerf Attack speed
  • Nerf Mages

ADCs are supposed to be what beats tanks, along with shredders and machinegun mages like Ryze.

The issue is that now so do assassins. And divers. And Juggernauts. And burst mages. And artillery mages at point blank range. And, well I guess they don't lose to full Healing Power Janna.

Especially when those characters don't even need to be building item 3153 /item 3071 /item 3036 / item 3135 to do beat the tanks.

Best "tanks" are Tryndamere Kayle Taric (Oh hey he actually is a tank) Vladimir Ekko Evelynn because the only way any character is living longer than 2 seconds anymore is with full-on invincibility and free eject buttons.

I agree, I was playing Sion earlier today and it was the first time I actually raged at the game. I was playing against a Lucian top and I could literally do nothing. He dodged all my predictable skill shots and did massive damage to me through tabis, sunfire, and bramble vest, and I couldnt even touch him. Playing a tank feels like shit. Tanks need to be given tools to win 1v1's if they want them to ever be viable solo laners.

Ornn and Mundo are fine now and really it should remain this way 2 are enough not trying to sound bad but NO ONE wants tanks to be dominate tanks are horribly deigned in this game and tank meta is always the worst meta having a bullet sponge of 4-5k hp that perma cc you while out damaging your assassin and taking 0 damage is the worst thing in this game and the worst part about it is how BRAINLESS tank champions are one can do the former effortlessly with 0 games on any of the top tank champs when it is tank meta

Here we go again...

You mean like Nunu Malphite DrMundo Shen Maokai .

All some of the highest winrate champs in the game. 90% of the time in games, the team with the most tanks wins the game. Just nobody wants to play tanks cause they won't have "MUH DAMAGE". We're in a Sustain meta, tanks that are able to self sustain are going to do the best. But the whole "Tanks are useless" fad is probably one of the biggest fallacies I see prevalent on the boards.

"tanks are useless"
Said the 64% Rammus main. Unviable is what, sub 70% WR then?

Or should we use your secondary Tank 4.36:1 KDA 63% 27 Played Nunu

Or we can swap over to my history of Alistar 32W 13L 71% if you want.
