You realize Tanks are supposed to be supportive for the team. It isn't supposed to be how league is right now where you are a complete tank and still skull fucking carries

Tanks are what they are designed to do. Some are defensive peelers, some are hard engagers. Pigeonholing tanks into being secondary top lane supports by gimping their damage was completely unfair. It's bad enough that Knight's Vow has become more worth taking than Sunfire Cape

Tanks are meant to absorb damage, they aren't meant to be able to deal massive amounts just because they have a flaming armor item.

They need enough damage to be respected. Otherwise, the only playable tanks are the ones that can sandbag it out, since they won't ever win a trade anyway.

Tanks are able to trade in lane! Nerfs to base damages and items.

Tanks are able to farm out the laning phase! Nerfs to waveclear.

Not allows to trade, not allows to farm out the lane. We just have to wait until the squishy carries complain that there is nobody with CC or durability to protect them.

Then why the hell were all of our tank items nerfed and not just sunfire? You can't do an update that promises to make tanks do less damage while making them able to absorb more damage and then gimp both our damage AND item stats. It's bullshit

You're downvoting because you refuse to look at the game objectively and not through your "I hate tanks so they should just get the shit end of the stick" goggles.

Dude, Tanks were too tanky and dealing way too much damage, the nerfed the current items while putting in a very very good tank item in stoneplate.

Thats fine they can be divers or peelers are engage Tanks or CC machines, but Tanks should never be outdamaging carries or doing even half of the damage output of a carry, yet here comes Darius or Maokai or Sej being unkillable to carries while nuking the hell out of them. Tanks should not have good damage, thats the entire point of being labeled a fucking Tank

Darius isn't a tank, Maokai did NOT burst people that hard, and Sej hasn't been good since her current iteration. Furthermore, Maokai was taken for his teamwide damage reduction ult, not his damage

Darius is a tank for all intents and purposes, hes a subclass of juggernaut which is a mixture of tank and fighter, secondly Maokais damage wasn't insane, but he could easily 1 v 1 an ADC at all stages of the game. At Full Tank his Full combo with popping his ult would almost completely kill a squishy still.

Tanks either tank, or they do damage. Not both, and the game will continue to be unbalanced until Riot addresses that

Tanks: Vanguards, Wardens. Darius appears in neither of these subcategories. Fighters: Juggernauts, Dvers. Darius is a Juggernaut, which does not fall under the tank class. Darius is SUPPOSED to burst ADCs while being tanky. That's what juggernauts do. A tank soaks damage while applying CC.

I think riot wants the game to be 1 adc 4 support, no wonder they make adc's op.

What? I main top I have zero worry. What is this nonsense?

"OMG RIOT! Locket is op! Every support is buying it" "We're rebalancing locket so it is better on tank supports, the people that it is intended for." "OMG RIOT! Why are you forcing me to buy locket!"

Oh wait. You don't have to buy locket if you don't want to. That is the nice thing about item builds. If you aren't comfortable with the skill cap for using locket effectively in a team fight, don't buy it.

Top wishes it was support.

OtterlyLostJun 1, 20171 votes

If they wanted locket to be for tanky supports, they should have left the health on it. :/ this most recent change makes Locket complete crap, tbh. It doesn't provide health for any tanks to really want to buy it but it doesn't provide a big shield anymore for Enchanters to buy it. They should change it back, tbh, because I miss the AoE MR and the extra health it gave; it was great for getting on Skarner or Sejuani or Rammus. Tanks that are going to initiate and be in the front liked old Locket that gave health.
