theres this mentality that tanks are stupid and just meatshields so people don't wanna play them. Its like supports

lol, new mao actually feels pretty good, while his laning requires more intelligence rather then spam w q on CD to deal damage, but your able to output a TON more damage then he could before

there is always about 3 days of autism before people figure it out. But yea. I want to die. not another fucking tank meta. Please god no. God please no. Id rather be in the lethality 1 shot meta than the fucking tank meta.

The tank meta where tanks could also do damage is bad. I think the meta where tanks are JUST tanks is good.

Problem is that Riot doesnt understand that they need to nerf tank base damages by 20%

Unless your a support, that would put you in the realm of Unable to lane/jungle.

You are only correct for the bottom of the barrel tanks. the really strong tanks end up having enough damage to kill squishies pretty quickly. Now Garen isnt exactly a meta tank. But back in S5 if you built him full tank with a BC you could melt squishies. Base damages are pretty high in league for tanks.

Another problem is Titanic Hydra. There are a lot of characters that are building almost full tank but they throw like a BC and a Titanic Hydra in there and they can start to instakill an ADC. Lets look at Olaf as a Prime example. you put a titanic hydra and a BC on that guy and he will kill your adc in 1-2 seconds. This is why Titanic should be removed. Titanic is like 90% of any reason that Tanks are OP. Tank meta didnt really come into being until that fucking item was introduced.

Garen and Olaf may be durable, but they aren't tanks.

RewtMay 5, 20171 votes

yes they are. They have been considered tanks since they were released.

EndlessSorcererMay 5, 20171 votes

(Sub)classes were refactored almost a year ago.

They aren't "tanks" anymore.

RalanrMay 5, 20171 votes

Yeah things change. They are considered juggernauts.

If you don't understand what Riot considers a tank then you really shouldn't talk about tank balance.

Tanks not do like no damage. New mao can do about 800 damage with a full rotation. He is not as tanky....

The only upside is, he has a better clear speed thanks to new cinderhulk burn damage and his E....like YEAH great work...tanks are op

Meanwhile, AD this patch has increased in total AD amount a champion gets...again....

New mao cant just spam his shit anymore, you have to bait to bushes with the saplings, then if they fall for it boom 60% max hp gone right there off 3 saplings

I wouldn't say buffed... more like reworked... Only Sej can convert tank stats into damage, for Zac and Mao they removed damage while increasing CC ''potential'' yet Zac's ult feels like the most unusable thing.

XavanicMay 4, 20171 votes

Zac never really had issues with dealing damage, mao is actually the highest damage out of all of them due to his new sapling mechanics
