Problems with Riot on Tanks

Last LP2 Player·2/19/2020, 3:38:30 PM·1 votes·2,048 views

Tank Mains, "Why is our class so bad at tanking damage now" Riot Devs, "Do not worry we are buffing sunfire so you have more damage" Tank Mains, "Wait what, this isnt what I ordered" Riot Devs are hiding in the corner whispering, "Now we can blame tanks for all of the problems in LOL again" Laughing maniacally.

Riot has officially done a full reversal on tank meta into hyper damage hyper carry meta of doom.

Tanks did not want this buff. We just want good MR items that's it.

Stop trying to buff tank dmg. JUST GIVE US GOOD MAGIC RESIST ITEMS FOR FUCK SAKE.

Riot Devs, "lets buff lethality and nerf magic resist items until they are useless"

Trash item. Too expensive and horrible passive. Another trash item. Meant to counter overtime ap damage which has failed to do so on multiple accounts. Probably the only decent item. Well thats all the mr items for any non support tanks... 2/3 of the roster is shit tier and mages get void staff which puts tanks back down to lvl 1 resistances to magic damage lolololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololol.

Riot is trolling the Tank mains at this point.

Am i the only one that thinks MR items are we least of the issues for tanks atm? I mena sure, they could use some buffs, and non sustain champs could use a proper alternative to SV, but they generally feel MUCH much better than armor items to me. Armor is just such a wasted stat, theres alot more armor pen and armor SHRED around that vs MR, and physical damage especially from adc is so over scaled that you generally need 2-3 times as much armor than MR and will still have clearly more physical damage taken at the end game stats(expt vs some dps mages like cassio or azir maybe)

But what i misss most is a goo raw HP option to rush. I simply want OG-Warmongs back, just a stacking up heap of beaf that serves as the foundation for your tankiness. The great thing with that is that high raw HP on a rush item gives you decent tankiness vs all damage, so your ready to teamfight at 1 item rather than needing 2, and it enables items like FH that don't provide HP on their own. S2 Tank itemisation was just SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much better, mostly because of that. There's also the lack of in fight sustain from items compared to then and the lack of MS, paired with damage numbers overall just beeing way to high and %damage abd truedamage beeing much more common.

So yea, while MR items aren't perfect, i feel they are a very small issue comapred to all the other shit tankiness has to deal with

item 3190

Is there actually a problem with item 3194 ?

To me this item feels really good when dealing with the type of mage/AP user who uses item 3151 well like Cassio/malzahar/Teemo or even Ryze .

The biggest issues i have with MR items is the fact that there are basically 2 that are missing though being these in my opinion :

A but with just higher stats for those who cant use that healing buff.
A equivalent that applies Grevious wounds on anyone hitting them with abilities.

' If these got added then MR itemization would be just fine or even pretty great i believe.

The only viable tank outside the support role is Ornn , and that’s just because his base damages are so bonkers he can beat most other champions faces in, in lane.

But “lets just throw some more damage onto the problem and hope it goes away” is pretty on brand for riot these days. Can’t have people not getting blown up in two seconds.

Yeah I've been playing Ornn recently and tankiness is not the problem with tanks. The problem with tanks is miniscule late game damage. I can sit in a teamfight for 30 seconds and not die but that doesn't matter in the slightest if I do no damage.

IDK man as an ADC main tanks are absolutely broken. Mages don't really tank kill either unless they are sustained damage champs like Cassiopeia or something similar. Honestly their isn't much need for magic resist when the tanks job is to frontline and bully the enemy adc into irrelevancy.
