So riot apperantly think That over buffing aftershock and nerf Conq is gona make tanks viable. Well if u had an actualy Toplaner on ur balance team, He would tell u that the issue with tanks isnt conq, Its never has been and never will Simply because item 3076 item 3047 item 3751 Exist and as long as This exist, Bruiser will never bee an issue for tanks But i'll tell u from toplaner prespective Whats pushing tanks away and one of answer of obvious, How can u expect tanks to be viable When Kaisa Is globaly in every 3 games, She's impossible to items against her Since her kit is so overloaded with % health damage and its hybred While Being invisible With such high dps Vayne KogMaw That letarly the more tankier u get the more damage they do and One of them is true dmg Thats impossible to counter, Evelynn That 3 shoot u no matter how much magic resist u have Brand Khazix Vladimir Ryze Kindred ... How can u expect tanks to be viable With how strong adc and mages late game rightnow While also negating all the resistance u built Thanks to item 3153 item 3124 item 3151 item 3089 item 3135 item 3036 ... Vs How weak tanks item are specialy magic resist item Vs How much burst dmg there's in game and lets not forget that tanks are So boring and unfun to play Yet riot refuse to actualy do anything about it beside buffing aftershock which's Btw is just gona make tank supp more stronger then they already are. In order to make tanks viable, Riot have to put effort in full rework , Analsying whats making them unviable and work on it Well nerfing there stupid dmg, Rework There item and give them Some interesting builds like item 3025 and make them funn to play and Please buff item 3047 Bc adc are strong Rightnow and any one say otherwisde Doesnt not play this game Or he's just Adc main and ofc there role is always weak

Plenty of tanks are doing pretty well right now though

One problem with that idea: It implies tanks aren't viable right now.

Everyone's been saying that for years. I think the people claiming tanks are useless suck at being a tank.

unpopular opinion, conqueror isn't even a problematic rune. Each time I'm playing a tank and I die in like 3 seconds I check recap and conq does like 70 damage.

conq loses to pta, grasp, and aftershock early. It does not invalidate tanks. Certain champs like Brand Velkoz Vayne Kaisa MalzaharMasterYiCassiopeia Darius are anti tank either via their kid or build. Items like item 3071 item 3036 item 3135 item 3031 item 3089, INFERALS, MOUNTAIN don't help either.

And then there's the fact that damage has been power creeped so hard, suddenly a champ that you wouldn't expect to hurt a tank like Lissandra does respectable amounts damage (via her passive) (NOT TRYING TO CALL HER OP, just using her as an example). .

"Tanks aren't viable"

Incorrect. Some of the best picks right now are classified as tanks.

What you mean to say is tanks are no longer damage sponges. True damage isn't the only thing for them to fear anymore.

However, their lock down and front line engage is still indispensable to a team comp and can mean the difference between winning fights or losing them. Tanks are thus far more engage oriented and it's why everyone is playing tanks like Nautilus . That and his hook is like half a lane wide even though the animation doesn't reflect that.

That's not going to change much in season 10 because as long as tanks have superior engage and can take more hits than others, they're going to be necessary. It may not be where you want them to be, but it does not mean they're not viable.
