Every game is decided by who has more tanks

People like to cry about "ADCs in every game" but conveniently overlook that (multiple) tanks are necessary to win.

Tanks have by far the most impact on the game as well. Lets take for example one teams tank, lets say lands a 5 man ult and the other teams tank mistimed his ult and missed his stun, who do you think won the fight?

There's a beginning of a valid point here, but I think you could do more to explain where you're coming from, Fuffychan. In the OP, your main point lies on the fact that a tank landing a perfect ult can win a teamfight, but off the top of my head I could say the same for most supports and mages too (Orianna's ult is a notorious game-changer, for example), so your argument isn't uniquely in favor of tanks. If you're trying to say that having more tanks on a team increases your chance of success more than by stacking any other class, that could be substantiated by statistical evidence on tank-heavy team comps and their win rates, or even just pointing out the presence of tanks in teams.

I also question what your ultimate point is in this thread: are you trying to say that tanks are as essential to teams as marksmen? If so, how does that help advance conversation on Gameplay? What is the sentiment that made you post this thread in the first place? I encourage you to dig deeper into this, as you have the potential to contribute enormously here. In fact, if you want your thread to have another chance, you could post an updated version of it, with much more argumentation (much more argumentation) and a more positive tone, and let me know to delete this thread as a follow-up. I'm not deleting this thread today, but in the future I'm likely going to be stricter on thread quality control, and will start deleting threads that fail to deliver on a minimum level of quality (i.e. threads that don't offer constructive discussion). Best of luck on your future posts, I know you have it in you to produce quality threads!
