Fighters,assassins and jaggernaut are getting outclassed by tank

Dark Vaatu··6 votes·390 views

i feel like the new runes only helps mage, adc and tanks. in top lane tanks are the best choice. champs like Ornn Malphite and Maokai are the best picks. meanwhile fighters like MonkeyKing , Riven Jax PantheonRenekton Camille and Fiora are struggling. they need to have more runes and items option for fighters. assassins are also getting outclassed by mages for the stopwatch. haven't seen Renekton top lane forever.

Yep. Welcome to the top lane meta.

it's sad when tanks are lane bullies and scale into gods

Ornn 49% winrate top Malphite 50.5% Maokai 50.3%

Camille 52% Riven 50.7%

This is a joke thread right?

Because a larger perventage of the tanks going top are doing badly than the percentage of fighters and juggs.

I think you're looking at the wrong stat website. Tanks are a big problem right now because of how much they can take and how much damage they deal.

Not to mention a lot of the current tanks that are meta also have a crap ton of cc packed in them with a hint of max percent damage for some fucking reason.

Overall, tanks are too much right now and needs to be fixed for the sake of the game and it gets annoying to deal with.

They shouldn't be good in every stage of the game.(kinda exaggerating but it's kinda true.)

Tanks aren't good late as they get shredded easily.

In this current patch, hitting late game is a bit rare to happen unless your in low tier rank game or norms.

They do get shredded, but they still can do an insane amounts of damage to a non tank champion and a fair amounting them has the cc in them to keep them from getting melted or have the healing to out sustain from them unless they have item 3123 on them to denie them of healing.

Really, you can bearly solo kill a tank.

And 2 of the most bullshit tanks that comes to my mind is Maokai &Ornn

I'd argue that solo killing a tank shouldn't be an easy feat in the first place.

I think Garen is the only Jugg that's doing somewhat well and it's largely because of his innate %damage reduction.

I think assassins are fine. At least most of them have the option to go mid lane. It's just fighters and juggs really.

So...what are the winrate of all those fighters?

League of Graphs, Diamond+

Riven: https://www.leagueofgraphs.com/champions/stats/riven/diamond 50%

Wukong: https://www.leagueofgraphs.com/champions/stats/monkeyking/diamond 48%

Jax: https://www.leagueofgraphs.com/champions/stats/jax/diamond 49%

Pantheon: https://www.leagueofgraphs.com/champions/stats/pantheon/diamond 50%

Renekton: https://www.leagueofgraphs.com/champions/stats/renekton/diamond 48%

Camille: https://www.leagueofgraphs.com/champions/stats/camille/diamond 52%

Fiora: https://www.leagueofgraphs.com/champions/stats/fiora/diamond 47%

So Fiora is arguably struggling the most, whereas anywhere between 48%-51% (imo) is considered more or less fine (with 48% being on the weak end. I'd hardly call that struggling).

I agree that fighters do need better rune options. Riot is aware of this and it's a priority after the holidays.
