Mages have access to so much health they can be considered off tanks if you think about it. They have CC and with all the health items available, what is the difference between an off tank and an off tank mage.
They basically offer the same thing. Some damage, CC and resist.
I feel like the lines between a mage and a tank are becoming blurred.
Nekusen3 votesmage items give either hp or resistances, tank items usually have both except a couple exceptions where they give only 1 of them as main stat but in high doses.
AD uses lifesteal instead of pure hp, which grants better sustain in battles but more vulnerability to burst, that way they control what counters who.

My point is, riot definition of a tank is a champ that can take damage, while providing lots of CC. Currently mages are doing the same thing, on a lower scale.

all champions can "take damage" not all mages have CC
as i said, they are 2 different mechanisms of survival, ADs can take a lot of damage, more damage than mages as long as its sustained damage instead of burst while mages can take less sustained damage but a bit more of burst.
facemelter7101 votesWord! This is why I used to play vlad. Now with all the hp I might as well play LeBlanc or Annie instead. Or pretty much every mage not named azir. The new items need less or no hp. More ap and bring back more spell vamp item. People are gonna say these new items are practically made for Vladimir mains. And I agree slightly but. With vesage weaker. It could get its Mr boosted if we have some more ap on some item's. Vlad rework is also lackluster because of these new hp and ap items. Ugh. Mid season is a mess. Fun. But a mess.
