Items and base stats.

I'm done with this game, simply because you cant play what you want, you cant go tanky if you are X champion, but Y champion is tanky no matter what they build, base stats need to be near meaningless mid-late game, no reason one champion should be tankyer then another that happens to have more gold and more defence items. items need to be everything and its not, thats what used to make this game so fun.

RIOT stop being fun killing bastards that want to control how every champion is played.

i should be able to play tank ashe if i wished.

Base stats are pretty much identical between champions. Almost everyone can just be assumed to have: 2000 HP 1000 Mana 110 AD 1 AS 75 armor 30 or 52 MR (ranged/melee) 325~355 MS

What tends to make 1 champion tankier than another with more tank items is Abilities. Leona isn't a solid tank in the support roll because bases, it's because Eclipse gives her a major 3,000 gold-value in tank stats allowing her to be an item behind.

Also, it's important to note Runes and Masteries look like base stats in game but they aren't. They're essentially item bonuses in game when all you'd have is base stats prior.

Wut. It's been like that since... forever... Some champions are tankier than others for good reason. Melees are almost always inherently tankier since they're melee and have to be in some one's face compared to a ranged champion who can usually kite and/or poke. 0.o Items have... almost never been what made the champion. They accentuated the champions kit and playstyle.

lolwut this is ridiculous. Why should Draven naturally be tankier than Riven (which he is)? What reason is there to ever pick melees over ranged if melees have the same base stats all game and a ranged champ with high base damage and CC can be built full tank and still be far better than melees?
