People downvoting this comment like they don't remember the front page being flooded with complaints about tanks a few months ago before conqueror was introduced.

Seriously, best meta is when both tanks and bruisers are playable.

playable is such a vague term. Balanced would be a better one and tanks are balanced right now.

You say as they all have sub 50% winrates, and minuscule play rate except for Malphite, while being statistically the weakest two sub classes out of 13. . .

weak is such vague term also. Thing is that Tanks by themselves are weak, but in a group is where they shine. Right now with crits being weaker and assassins losing by default, thanks are shining brightly.

We haven't had a tank META since patch 5.02-5.18 almost three years ago. . . Its been an ADC META since the end of Season 6.

Personally, 5.15 (right before juggernauts) was one of my favorite patches (my favorite?).

A few patches earlier, it was total tank meta, but by 5.15 they'd toned tanks down and just about every class in the game was equal power.

Tank AND Ardent Meta, nerf ADCs out of the bot lane into the top lane...TANKS + ENCHANTERS BOT LANE!

....the fiesta is real.

Wow.

Did they really learn nothing from the Vayne changes a few months back?

Everyone on the boards hated them except for die-hard Vayne mains.

1% damage is not going to break her.

Like it or not, she needs a buff.

In three of the four games you last played as Vayne, you got a:

9/1/5

11/2/1

and a 10/1/1

I think it's pretty safe to say Vayne doesn't need any buffs.

Tristana needs some loving though.

She was batshit broken in the Ardent Censer meta.

But now with Shield supports nerfed to the ground and the crit item changes, she does need some help.

What?

That doesn't change anything.

Vayne doesn't magically grow 100x times stronger just because she's played on a different map.

You're biased and you're trying to come up with feeble excuses to hide it.

My point is you have 162 mastery points on Vayne.

You've literally played her once and fed your ass off.

You have no idea what state Vayne is in or how she fares against other picks in the bot lane.

How about you stick to playing your tanks.

When you take Hail of Blades and build Guardian Angel 2nd item on Vayne I honestly can't take you seriously.

And I'm saying you're a Vayne main that's biased because she's the champion that you've played the most.

And you'd think because I fed my ass off, that I'd be begging for buffs right?

It's called not being biased.

He's a tank main.

Tank players shit the bed when they see a Vayne buff

1% extra on W is not going to be impactful at all.

Just because you've started playing a champion a lot recently doesn't make you a main.

By that logic, I'm a Yi/Nocturne main then as I've been playing them a lot recently.

I meant in ranked.

That was my bad.

And FYI, Trundle isn't a tank. He's a Fighter.

I have no excuses for Alistar though. You can hate me for playing him as much as you want.

PB4UAME1 votes

Of those, only Ali is a tank. Trundle is a juggernaut, a form of melee carry, Viktor is a burst mage. . .

These were some Vayne buffs Riot made to the PBE about 10 months ago:

Tumble (Q): Auto applies two stacks of W Bonus damage no longer crits. Silver Bolts (W): Bonus True Damage increased from 6/7.5/9/10.5/12% to 6/8/10/12/14% Minimum Damage changed from 40/60/80/100/120 to 50/65/80/95/110 Final Hour (R): New Effect: "While under the effects of Final Hours, Vayne is revitalized when enemy champions she has damaged recently are killed, healing for 20% of their maximum health"

Well hey, if there was any evidence they literally don't read anything we say and don't listen to feedback, this is it.

If anymore true damage gets added to the game for real, I'm just done. It's so boring and I'm so sick of true damage being 40~70% of the total damage I take every damn match.

Jarring4 votes

I'd like to ask if anyone in riot still actually plays the game. from the past couple years of updates i've seen, it makes me think none of them actually even play the game.

Giga Baboon3 votes

You should be more worried about which game dev is going to hire meddler once he's done tanking league.

Ghostcrawler will probably retire after ruining just one more game, but meddler?

GayFluffyUnicorn2 votes

The entire live design teams names need to be blacklisted so they can never ruin a game again. Meddler, ricklessabandon, phroxon or whatever his name is, where is the other riot lead dude anyways? He commented a dozen of posts on the boards a few weeks ago and now simply disappeared and i never heard anything of him again i don'teven recall his name anymore. Riot Maple and fearless also need to be blacklisted.

how many times are they going to buff vaynes w?

it was already a lot of true damage back when it was 8%.

do they want to turn her into a ranged bruiser or some shit? the more they increase her base damage, the more likely it becomes.

Daddy Ants2 votes

Riot: Watch me

Vayne Silver Bolts (W) bonus true damage increased from [4/6/8/10/12% enemy max HP] to [5/7/9/11/13% enemy max HP]

That's a joke of a change compared to what the other ADC's are getting.

As a 900K+ Vayne main I'd have preferred them to put some more AD back on the R or given back the attack speed growth.

Hyquiem1 votes

You idiots, if your gonna say enough true damage you know what they are going to nerf freaking velkoz, so srs stop begging for things that will just be bad again

Pokemonred2001 votes

I feel like the changes to Tristana and Twitch will be nore helpful than the changes to Vayne are. But I've already moved to the jungle since it looks like Riot's finally stopped hating Kindred with every inch of their souls.

Daddy Ants1 votes

1% extra on W is not going to make her become the crit assassin she used to be.

If anything it's going to cement her into using On Hit builds (item 3153 item 3124) which is what she's using at the moment anyway.

Infinity Edge coming down 100g is nice but it won't affect her that much.

The IE change will benefit ADC's like Ashe, Jinx, Twitch and Tristana greatly.

Yeah everyone hates her. Yeah she's hella annoying.

She needs buffs though atm.

Those are the wrong Buffs

Troll for Trump1 votes

Maybe, but some people think she doesn't need buffs at all just because she's cancerous.

Same with a couple of other champs.

Mordepool2 votes

Morde fits into that category. According to Riot. I don't see him getting buffs even when he had a 46 winrate for 2 years

Crit Marksmen fuckem they had thier. Years to shine. Step aside

"Everyone"

When she's not in the dumpster she gets play rates of 25-30%.

The uneducated boards circle jerk is not "Everyone"

PB4UAME1 votes

You mean when she's blatantly and brokenly OP (which RIOT lets happen at least once a year with stupid, massive Vayne buffs from nowhere) to the point where she crowds out usually all but one other Marksman pick that can compete against her, while instagibbing both beefy and squishy characters as if their defensive items didn't exist.

That is not healthy. No champion should ever get above a 20% playrate when there are fucking 140+ other champions. Do you not see how fucking flawed that logic is?

"Community" You mean the boards with poor, uneducated threads about how 'true damage is best for the game' despite not knowing what the fuck the true damage added has been doing?
