Yknow, i remember a time where tanks were tanks and Bruisers were Bruisers...

Now we got shit like Tanky Fioradoing Assassin like dmg, Poppy killing people with one combo. All of the juggernauts.

You know when assassins are going tank and being next level broken you have a problem.

Akali item 3068 item 3111 item 3146 item 3065 item 3001 item 3157

Tank akali isn't an issue though, people just complain for no reason and aren't use to her.

Thy aren't necessarily complaining that she's super strong, they're complaining because someone who is supposed to have at most 1 defensive item (or two if Abyssal zhonya counts) is going full tank and pulling it off no problem

Remember when you complained about Cho'gath being unkillable in season3 ? Well, since they made stacking defenses worse than Renekton with a Nashor Tooth, league has become an arms race toward damage.

not sure why this is downvoted

It is true and since evryone has damage now and armor/mr are pretty useless stats we see alot of people just stacking health and offensive items with the onese providing both damage and health being the most used item 3068 item 3748 item 3053 item 3065 item 3742 is a pretty common built now. Gives some damage provides just enough resistances any more and they are wasted, and it gives a crapton of health and decent damage output.

also renekton with nashors isnt even that bad add in a lichbane and you now have 95% ap scaling on w LOL

People get salty when they read someone talking well about the tank era. But ye, AD tank and tanks in general have a lot more flat damage with DMP, and squishies are also focused by Echo users and thunderlord users, so once the proc-storm of the initiation is over, they are already almost dead.

I think he played against an ad poppy.

The downside of AD tanks is that they can utilize AD items pretty well. Which probably annoys people.

Honestly I like the option to build AD or straight tank on Poppy and still be effective in different ways.

Tank Fiora and Yi however still do the same thing, but only being more durable.

I mean i go ad poppy a lot more than i used to now. surprisingly good. not full ad but bruiser ad. and surprisingly her higher winrates is when she goes ad in jungle and top. trinity force + steraks + black cleaver is a great combo on her. after that i get ninja tabi. dead mans and spirit visage. because of her passive shes a lot tankier than other champions with these items especially under 40% health. its really fun too. I wish though. they increase the damage on her ult to at least make it an option to kill someone with . pretty much all her abilites do more damage than her ult. or the cooler thing if her ult did damage depending on how far she knocks them back. I mean shes not a true tank shes more of a juggernaut/bruiser/tank. find it weird that she scales with bonus ad as most champs in her type fighter/tank scale of base ad. if she scaled off base ad she might be op lol.

item 3047 item 3071 item 3053 item 3078 item 3742 item 3065

though I wanna try this . item 3047 item 3748 item 3053 item 3078 item 3071 item 3065 (would probably have to run some serious armor runes.).

tank auto attack based champions. like yi xin jax are pretty annoying and too strong imo since they put out as much damage as an adc and 5 times tankier.

She is a true tank. She just has AD scalings which allow her to be played as a bruiser/juggernaut easier than Nautilus or Maokai.

I miss the possibility of being a tank the time when you could still soak damage and not die in 1.2 seconds

just take a meta tank as adc :D its better of :D

I have yet to 100-0 anyone with Poppy in a full combo. I have to guess that these people are very squishy or aren't at full health at the time.

Isn't that fiora build...Bruiser fiora?

On top of that people just label them all as tanks, and ask for their removal/nerf. This doesn't help with actual tanks and their identity at all.

2 defensive items is not equal to being a tank...
