You increased marksmen AD but not common mid laner armor

While adding in a Rune that gives you a magic shield if you get bursted below 30%. Marksmen like already perform exceptionally well against mages early game.

I am not optimistic for this preseason.

EDIT: O. All AD champions got their AD increased. Including common mid laners like Zed, Panth, Riven, etc, and every AD jungler. Gonna be a miserable time for AP mid laners.

From what i've played on the PBE, Mages, especially immobile are taking a pretty heavy hit. Lethality builds are coming back strong, and squishies get deleted faster than ever. Upside, Tanks are stronger than they've ever been, i think.

Also expect to see Guinsoos Vayne. It's absolutely disgusting.

That is absolutely not an upside, tank metas are notoriously boring.

Consider the whole of what i said; we'll be thankful as fuck to have strong tanks with everyone playing squishy-deleting assassins and bruisers. Which STILL won't stop the Guinsoo's Vayne of course.

Between Hecarim using the rune that gives boots an active burst of speed to hit for 7-800 10 minutes in, and Rengar quite literally dealing 5-600 damage just out of a leap without any of his combo put in, you'll want those tanks.

Also; I never minded the tank meta. I like chill, drawn out games. Getting instabursted out of nowhere doesn't make the game fun to me.

You realize tank metas will only happen when assassin metas happen now, because tank damage isn't anywhere close to what it used to be? Besides, Mages overperformed all season. Same with ADCs. It's about time Assassins were able to kill them again

The pre-season will likely have more compensation changes. I mean, I myself wondered why most mages got an increase in HP or HP5 but no extra armour, yet enchanters got just armour and nothing else.
