People call me crazy when I say tank items are broken... but then there's this:

You can see here clearly, that even with exhaust and a full team around me, that is still not enough to prevent two TANKS from completely obliterating me in 2 seconds. What the fuck is this if not broken? People always told me "Position better" or "Just dont get near them" but clearly there is a level of play far above that of avoiding tanks, because to me it seems there is no escape to them. Why can these champions build items like iceborn and deadmans and have JUST as much early game damage as someone building primary damage items? Any explanation would be great ESPECIALLY from a rioter to give me clarity for this cancer.

Poppy was 3 levels above you, stunned you into the wall, built iceborn gauntlet. Zac was also two levels above you. Honestly, I wouldn't expect any kind of squishy player to survive against two tanks with high base damages when caught out like that.

You left yourself in a really vulnerable position especially since when you moved towards the wall you didn't have vision of all the opposing team.

Wall stunned by a Poppy with IBG, smited by Zac for 116 true damage, and both unleashed their full combos on you while you were 2-3 levels behind both of them and had no defense.

Get good, is what I'm saying. You were also positioned in a really confined area, making it easy for you to get caught out.

do you even know how poppy works?

You had no defense items at all. Do you not expect them to kill you?

If you weren't so squishy then you probably would have lived longer.

Also your Ekko probably should have dropped the stun on you and he didn't. You have a rengar and leblanc on your team. You are going to get zero peel from them.

Zac's knockups are annoying but that really just looked like an instance of your team just not protecting you.

"You are squishy, what did you expect?" So you are ALL saying that I should be building Tank items as an adc.. Wonderful how this game has evolved apparently.

So the title says "Tank Items Are Strong," and you're all opposing this notion by saying "The Iceborn Gauntlet is strong?" What kind of counter is that? That's like throwing breadcrumbs at a duck to piss it off.

You stood next to a wall against a flanking Poppy on a nonmobile ADC. Not a single ward to see the Poppy coming.

Poppy had Iceborn, which gives her a good boost of damage. She pinned you to a wall, which does a lot of damage, plus Zac was there. That was a 2v1.

Not to mention they have more levels on you and more items than you. Any two tanks could kill an ADC if they were stunned against a wall, all alone, and 3 levels and 2 items lower than them. At that time in the game, you do not have the proper itemization yet to deal with them.

If you had positioned better, so you didn't get stunned, you could have stayed out of their range and attacked them, possibly killing them or at least making them back off.

I mean your team didn't really help you there except janna. Poppy flash dashed to you while zac was ulting...you can't really stop that.

You also don't have a last whisper and if tanks are the threat in the game then you need to change your itemization
