why exactly is the tank meta a bad thing?

i for one like a meta where people who are meant to soak damage can actually soak damage. anyone who thinks this burst carry meta is good is on crack.

it's garbage, and it makes games into snowball or get snowballed on.

right now;

if you get ahead? build damage. if you build tank you're going to fall off hard late game once everyone starts getting 3+ items

if you get behind? build damage. that way enemy doesn't sit there and dumpster you with almost no resistance because you have no dmg and still melt like a chocolate lava cake via Domino's™

there is almost no incentive to build tanky right now unless the champions kit is pure tank synergy and sucks with everything else.

you know unless you're

Because not only do they soak damage like theyre supposed to, they also kill your ass with tanky damage items..

Yeah having unkillable tanks at the end of the game that can destroy you is not the dream. I'd rather have glass cannons that blow you up cause at least you can kill them.

There's a balance. One or two tanks is generally fine. But when the entire enemy team can just run you over because tanky dps is overtuned life as any squishy champion is hard. You're AP mid and your spell rotation did 50% damage to one dude? You're ADC and you need a minimum of 10 auto attacks to kill anyone other than the enemy ADC and they're charging into your face?

Have fun.
