WIll they be dealing as much damage as they currently do? I mean with the upgraded items, infinite health builds, and their specialized kits, do you think it will be just another juggernaut fest like last time where Garen was running around unkillable for nearly 3 patchs......? I mean right now most tanks don't do well except like 3, 4 tops, but these updates just scream really cancer.

I mean just looking at the updated items alone, most of the items will counter the tank counter. I mean item 3143 looks op as hell and it's active seems super cancerous. You're adding AP to banshee's veil. Guardian Angel has ad.....

Stoneplate

Stone Skin: If 3+ enemy champions are nearby, grants +40 Armor and Magic Resist

that screams horrific cancerous builds and tank akali metas ewww.

Get close to killing a tank?

Metallicize: Increases maximum and current Health by 40% and increases champion size, but reduces damage dealt by 60% for 4 seconds (90 second cooldown). If Stone Skin is active, the Health increase becomes 100% instead.

Nope you don't.

These may not be final, but idk just screams bad time.

An important fact you forgot to mention, this is current HP. If you pop this at 200 HP, you get 400 HP. You need to Stoneplate early for it to be at all effective. From what I've seen you don't even want this item on a tank with decent damage like Sejuani or Amumu (and Sej has HP ratios) let alone something like Bruiser Akali. It's pretty much an item for Leona, Naut and Alistar, who do literally 0 damage anyway. Also Cho'gath, it seems absurd on Cho'gath which I think is the one case it's legit to be worried about this item in.

so...as a cho main let me tell you... THIS NEW STONEPLATE WILL MAKE ME UNKILLABLE!!!!! But legit fam, 100% max hp increase? if you build three warmogs, take smite top (for the cinderhulk), and then get 10 stacks...your at 8000 hp, if you run specialized runes and masteries that give you plus 14% max hp on top of that, over 10,000 hp can be done. Now with cho's level 3 ulti you deal 650 base TRUE damage, with 10,000 hp and the 10% scale of hp, thats 1650 TRUE damage from ONE click. Now with the stoneplate....that suddenly becomes 2650 true damage with one click, and if you have more then 10 stacks? well once you hit 15 with this specialized build you can have upwards of 13,000 hp, double that, 26,000, take 10% of that and...2600 PLUS 650 = 3250 TRUE damage.

3250 True damage... All you have to do is flash into the enemy team, activate stoneplate, R click adc. Enemy team no longer has an adc, and they have to chew through at 26,000 hp tank who is literally unkillable. Is this item broken on cho? yes it might very well be.
