What tanks do you think are going to hit the roster?

Personally I'm thinking Malphite and Amumu are most likely going to be there.

I hope the update brings back late game power to tanks. A lot of tanks got screwed over with patch 5.16 decree of "TANKS SHALT BE THY EARLY GAME AND MID GAME! NO MORE!". Namely Sejuani, Malphite, and Sion were affected the most.

I know Sion is balanced but I do hope he gets very minor tweaks. Just number changes and MAYBE some compensation for his season 5 nerfs. I just hope he becomes more of THE late game king when he was suppose to be. He was! You can tell through the champion spotlight (bad example I know), and his Mecha 00 Sion skin. "With every conflict I grow stronger!"

Hoping for: Amumu Gragas Malphite Maokai Nautilus Rammus Sejuani in some shape or form.

I think Maokai is fine tbh, he has decent CC, and good teamfight potential

LostFr0stJan 31, 20171 votes

Yeah, he's "fine" but he could be so much MORE in my mind :3

Plus he's boring AF to watch. Like watching grass follow the sun throughout the day.

Maybe Mundo will be in there somewhere.

RalanrJan 31, 20174 votes

Mundo is a juggernaut. Not a tank.

I could see him being reworked into a tank, but it's doubtful.

How is he a juggernaut?

RalanrJan 31, 20173 votes

Incredibly selfish kit for one. No hard CC for two. Reasonable damage threat when in a long enough fight for three.

Mundo is one of the original juggernauts. Or at least best fit it with Nasus.

Don't juggernauts usually do damage. Like garen does a shit load.

RalanrJan 31, 20173 votes

Mundo does damage. It's more sustained though.

Wet DrymanJan 31, 20174 votes

Well Mundo will get some indirect changes via tank itemization rework but nothing direct because he is a Juggernaut.

I'm really hoping for a major malph rework. He's honestly one of the most boring champions in the entire game right now.

RalanrJan 31, 20171 votes

Malphite is the one tank that makes me do dumb shit to remind myself what fun is.

Like ulting and chasing the enemy adc as my team dies.

Big LincolnJan 31, 20171 votes

probably all of the initiating ones since according to riot they're all flavors of amumu (accurate) so malph, amumu, zac, sej, and MAYBE skarner since they have him listed as a vanguard now.

all i care about is that sejuani regains her status as late game queen

I can't really see Sion getting put on the roster. His initiation is rather unique (at least until Kled came around).

Big LincolnJan 31, 20171 votes

tbh i wouldn't be surprised if Sion became their template

still not sure how they'll differentiate them. best I can think of is burst CC like Sion vs sustained presence

nah, sion is probably fine. he might get some scaling changes to adjust for the item updates theyre doing, but i can hardly imagine even something on the level of shyvanas recent update.

my guess is amumu, rammus, maokai, sejuani.

Big LincolnJan 31, 20171 votes

i actually wouldn't be surprised if they delay the Cho'Gath changes for this update too

seeing as they're still deciding what to do with him

PureSilvrrJan 31, 20171 votes

Amumu Gragas Nautilus Sejuani Maokai Malphite Rammus Skarner They said Tanks that go in, Cc the enemy team, then proceed to do negligible damage. (vanguards)So these maybe?

The list of vanguards is Malphite, Amumu, Leona, Zac, Gragas, Rammus, Mega Gnar, Sejuani, Rek’Sai, Sion, Nautilus, Skarner

Wardens are Braum, Nunu, Tahm Kench, Maokai, Shen, Thresh, Alistar, Poppy

Juggernauts are Nasus, Darius, Mordekaiser, Illaoi, Trundle, Olaf, Garen, Shyvana, Udyr, Dr. Mundo, Volibear, Yorick

PureSilvrrJan 31, 20171 votes

And Malphite

RalanrJan 31, 20171 votes

Not sure Volibear really qualifies.

QuephaJan 31, 20171 votes

Amumu Sejuani Malphite Volibear Gragas Skarner Rammus (if they don't think his rework should be even larger in scope) Nautilus Zac

Maybe Maokai although he's considered more of a Warden.

Major: Malphite Amumu Skarner Rammus

Minor: Nautilus Leona Gragas Zac

There are other tanks than poppy and naut?

MunchCrunchLunchJan 31, 20171 votes

all of them

HyperiönJan 31, 20171 votes

They are targeting Vanguards, not generalized "tanks". So I could see malphite, amumu, sejuani (maybe), Leona, Rammus.

Those are the ones that come to Mind.

Azure HamsterJan 31, 20171 votes

I'm wondering what, if anything, will happen to Leona.

The Big Candidates (similar to Graves, Brand, and Talon): Amumu Malphite Maokai Rammus Zac The Secondary (similar to Veigar and Zed): Leona Sejuani Skarner Gragas
