Facing three tanks is unwinnable in dynamic queue.

Happens time and time again. I should just dodge. Riot is obviously incapable of balancing tanks. Unless a composition is specifically tailored towards dealing with tanks, and I mean very specifically not very much can be done. You can outplay them, you can stall, but you can't win. How are 5 random players with a pick-order going to deal with three tank teams? How can tanks still be so dominate with their absurdly simple mechanics, read: zero. Turrets become irrelevant, CC becomes irrelevant, and carries literally need to reach late-game to do enough damage to them to even punish their outlandishly aggressive and mindless gameplay. It's very frustrating and especially this season it has been a constant. Swiftness boots need to be removed, tanks don't care about the loss of CDR, AS, or pen but carries need it and are left further vulnerable to the onslaught of ridiculous gap closers and CC. Volibear has been sitting at a 55% winrate since pre-season, but who cares lets gut every champion that deals true damage. Udyr and Maokai are back in the meta. Is it going to be three months ago all over again?

Well we just played 3 tanks and got owned in teamfights because we'd run in, but our ADC would just get mauled over and over again, and without an ADC tanks don't actually have the damage to kill more than 1 person (as much as these boards like to claim that they do).

Plus, I don't see how this is a DQ-exclusive problem. Unless that title is just there to farm upvotes. Unfortunately, it's not working...

then how come pro play has 2 ADCs? And at least 1 player is support in any game, so that's 3 non-tanks right there (even tank supports are nowhere near as tanky as a tank top or jungle, since they have much less gold).

Kindred Lucian isn't uncommon on the same team.

Ummmm maybe its just me but does anyone else not see what dynamic que has to do with facing 3 tanks.

I mean is there any difference in facing 3 tanks in dynamic que than facing 3 tanks in a normal non dynamic que game?

Dont get me wrong...... Im in the middle on whether you NEED tanks or not because I have been on teams that have won many games with no tanks and also been on teams that didnt go so well because we had no tanks.

Matter of fact i just played a game few games ago where 1st 4 picks on other team were tanks while our team sees this and still picks no tanks so i last picked Leona as support.

So it was me Leona trying to out tank Garen, Voli, Thresh and Ekko. i told my team in champ select the game was lost before we started. The game did go 41 minutes tho but eventually we just lost....no one could get to vayne so they had no choice but to target a tank.

But like I said I dont see how this game would of gone any different if it was a normal que non dynamic que game.

Other than possibly more teamwork in the end if the game does not end fast u will lose eventually.

I was watching the LPL and there were some three tank teams doing well, its not completely dumb.. but they are off-tanks typically.

Right now the problem is probably Swain and Vladimir which are both hard to kill and do lots of damage.

When the top teams can't get Kindred they do play Gragas or RekSai then play Braum as support and Maokai top lane.

Say this team for example Maokai RekSai Vladimir Braum Lucian

Volibear is a fighter that builds tanky, because "Carry bear" builds are bad.

ok so basically

your title is a lie tanks lost swiftness boots tanks fucking love CDR who are you bullshitting here? AS and pen are good on them too you can't deal with volibear? then youre probably doing something wrong 3 months ago wasn't fiora shitting all over tanks... I don't even think most real tanks were viable back then
