Why does Riot insist on giving tanks % health damage and/or absurd base damages? Shouldn't you be giving up damage to be tanky?
As with ADCs being the literal easiest but strongest class in the game, I don't understand why tanks need to do damage.
Sahn Uzal6 votesBecause they're not tanky once ADC's scale. I'd give up my base damage if that means I won't get melted by an ADC with Lord Domniks any day.
IcyPepper5 votesStudies show that you take more damage if you don't build as much defense.
ForgivenSoul3 votesbecause if they did no damage they wouldn't be a threat at all and would more or less be ignored when they jumped on people. and % max health isn't too much of a problem since it scales to your HP as long ans the rations arn't crazy high cough
cough
IPinPC1 votesYeah, It's pretty ridiculous when after the game you see that Nautilus tank is one of the leading in damage. Same thing with others.
OurLestrade1 votesIt's all situational damage and % based but heavily countered by resistances. It's the same reason why they gave Leona that ult auto attack buff thing - it makes you feel less worthless after you blow your load... I-I mean CC.
Leaf on Bush1 votesErm if you are against a tanky team you will deal less damage yourself. Damage dealt also heavily depends on how often you are able to attack a champion. Tanks can always go in and attack because they don't get 1 shot.
Its really getting old how players misinterpret the damage number over and over again in hundreds of hundreds of threads. How do you even jump to such a conclusion, are you just copying salty youtubers that tell you "tanks are op because they deal too much damage" or do you look at the statistics after a match like " Ok, what do i blame now except myself for losing this, oh the tank dealt the most damage, I take that"?
Niyumi1 votesNo, that's not what I mean. I'm fine with tanks whittling someone down, but that's not how it works. When Darius builds full tank after his BC but does assassin-level damage, or when Shyvana builds a Bloodrazor into full tank and one shots people, or when Olaf's only damage item is a Titanic but still instakills you... that's when I have an issue.
Leaf on Bush1 votesSounds like you are only interested in being able to 1v1 the champions you mentioned. What do you think about Fiora? She just ignores tank stats. lol
Ralanr3 votesNone of the champions you described are tanks. They are fighters who are supposed to hurt.
Leaf on Bush1 votesYea they have very limited options to catch enemies and stick to them, compared to a Nautilus or Sion who are true tanks.
There is more to a champion then just his tankiness and his damage. Fights in lol are not simply a stat check defense vs offense.
CerealBoxOfDoom1 votesnaw bruh tanks are supposed to tickle the enemy. That's what the cannon is for, its a tickle cannon
