Hey all, I feel like tanks would be good to climb bronze because no one wants to play tanks, because they don't explode people like zed does (don't know why people try play zed in bronze) I've seen maokai is really good lately, I'm looking for a nice disruptive tank that high base damage similiar to maokai, so i can win lane more often than not, and be really annoying during team fights, and has good tp ganks. Any help is appreciated :D
Sun Wukong Sun3 votesThe best for team fights
Thought my favorite is
GoochFlap1 votesOk, I have him, I'll play him some more and try to get better at him. I don't find his early game to be strong, though D:
Sun Wukong Sun2 votesDo you start W and 
top/mid?
jungle: start W 
?
support: start Q 
?
Always max E first, W 2nd, Q last, take R at 6/11/16
GoochFlap1 votesI start q and max q in top, and start dorans shield and pots or cloth and pots. I don't jungle or support with him. I'll start ruby and max E next time I play him.
GoochFlap1 votesAlso why do you start w in top?
Sun Wukong Sun2 votesYou take no damage from trades.
Shield + bonus damage + 1 second stun from passive.
I start with ruby crystal because I build him full tank. Against an AD reliant opponent, I build into 
then 
with 
.
Against an AP heavy opponent, of course I rush 
into 
with 
.
After I have those items built for lane opponent, I start to build defensively against the jungler (hopefully he's the same as the top laner), then I consider the rest of the enemy team for team fights.
In team fights, I immediately ult the enemy ADC then dive into the center with my Q. If they don't stop me, their ADC will die, which allows me team to do all the damage while they focus on me.
GoochFlap1 votesOh, that makes sense, and yeah, i build full tank too. What do you rush against akali?
Sun Wukong Sun2 votes her damage is all magic.
GoochFlap1 votesbut why do people build hybrid on her? Is it because of her passive? Because doesnt her e does ad?

He's pretty fun too.
GoochFlap1 votesyeah, I find him to be good, and he has free hp from his w shield passive, but people get out of his q easily.
Ralanr2 votesDo you charge it up fully? If so, don't. Try to wait two seconds for the knock up.
Positioning is also key. In lane it's best rouse it for farming or preventing your opponent from farming by charging it over your own low health minions.
GoochFlap1 votesI haven't played him for a few months, and back then i only played bots. I normally did charge it all the way, unless i needed the slow, or if they were getting out. I did use it for wave clear, too.
Caítlyn2 votesWhoever has more tanks wins every game, guaranteed. Nearly all tanks can 100-0 people too. Play someone like 
, really theres too many to list.
GoochFlap1 votesyeah, I like most of the champions you listed, except I don'tlike playing support too much... Can i play alistar top? His kit seems pretty similiar to maokai, but I feel like his cooldowns are way too long to be that useful. Do you think alistar top is viable?
ZT Xperimentor2 votesWith practice sure; ironically a game I ran thresh top, I was fighting a braum top, one of the funniest games I've had in a long time. Both of us stunning eachother, but neither killing the other; the upside we both were much more effective in teamfights because we could buy more than 2 items!
GoochFlap2 votesthat's a weird coincidence, and it sounds hilarious!
ZT Xperimentor1 votesOh it was, both teams had ran kill lanes bottom trying to fake out the other's top lane pick. So it was incredibly stressful down there, but what made it so funny was that both our junglers had tried to gank top lane after stabilizing bottom lane. They'd come up to gank, and then the other of us would ult and just casually walk away. XD
Leopards Ghost2 votes
GoochFlap1 votesyeah, I already have him, but I don't think he is going to click with me, I'll try playing him some more. Plus, he gets banned quite often in bronze because he's very hard to deal with in lane.
Death by Glamour2 votesAmumu is a solid pick
Shen malphite sejauni trundle.
Leona and alistar aswell.
GoochFlap1 votesI have shen, amumu, malphite, and alistar, I havent played amumu at all. I don't like shen personally because He is too peel orientated, I'm looking more for someone that get to the back line (maokai w) and disables them. I'm probably gonna play amumu more even though he's boring :( just because he is very good for climbing low elo.
Death by Glamour2 votesYou should try irelia and xin
GoochFlap1 votesI have mastery level 5 with xin zhao, but I dont like building him tanky, but I'll try it.I'll get irelia after I get maokai.
Rivvy1 votesWell you just named what you wanted.
