Riot balacing is absurd

  • Top is heavily one sided, pick a counter or get countered

  • For mid, just go Akali or Ryze

  • Bot is jg's lane, better jg wins

  • Can't play tanks if they have Vayne, Yi or Fiora, Can't kill tanks if we don't have vayne, yi or fiora, like who tf is gonna kill 1k armor malphite with 3 armor items or full tank sion or 20 stacked cho? situationally worst with mountain drakes. Like who tf is gonna play tanks if a champion deals % max hp true dmg every 2-3 aa's, or just have % max hp damage by passive, or just have wu-fuckingbullshit-ju style slicing you up under 3 sec despite stacking hp and armor.

-Overall balacing just feels like shit

This game is starting to get unfun, most game matching is heavily one sided

So what do you want here, do you want tanks to be able to tank or not?

I don't think having a mindset of "Tanks are too tanky" and "Tanks aren't tanky enough." is realistic.

Edit: I want literally even one person to explain how tanks can be both too tanky and not tanky enough like that concept even makes a shred of sense.

Yeah no. Tank are fine. Also you actually want to pick tanks into champions like yi since that beat him. You know the main reason tanks are tanks is cc right? Like juggernauts are been just as tanky as some tanks but they lack cc.

Bot lane doesn't win you the game unless your bot lane is super fucking bad and is running it down.

Who the fuck is gonna kill Malphite? Anyone with a black cleaver, last whisper or a mage.... damage always wins the itemization race. Tanks only have a limited power window.

Counters simply exist and you didn't come up with any suggestion to fix this, I couldn't because there is no easy fix, you just have to accept that with so many unique champions there will be counterpicks, but statistically the champions can still be balanced.

Just saying the balancing "feels like shit", is a bit cheap for a discussion. What do you expect, seriously what could Riot do to satisfy you? They could probably change the tank power curve and counter itemization to make tanks more consistent and less weak in late game

Counterpicks will always be a thing unless Riot reworks all champions to the point that they are all very similar...I doubt that people would like that.

You can play tanks into those champions.

Play with your team.

Stop trying to 1v1 them.

Tanks have lived along side Vayne and Yi for 8+ years now.

Fiora was reworked like 5? ago.

 

Tanks have never been unviable.

Tanks are unpopular because no one wants to be carried, it's a kill or be killed kind of meta.

Me personally just waiting for some type of LCS strat or meta that just causes the game to be ruined even further, hopefully then i could finally kick my addiction and uninstall.

Sett will set is straight for Tanks.
