All AD teams work because AD champions have the same amount of CC as tanks

When you look at all AD teams, you see some common champions in these rotations:

This does not include tanks like and that have AD scaling, so they can actually build AD/bruiser and still be incredibly tanky and disruptive.

And yet, much of the CC these champions dish out can't even be mitigated because they are knock-ups or some form of displacement, so in a lot of ways they're even better thank tanks because their CC can't be reduced. And don't worry, league of CDR lets these champions get access to 40% fairly easily so they can spam CC just as frequently as tanks can spam CC. On top of that, these champions range from assassins to bruisers, so their damage is far superior to that of tanks. They have back-line access, escapes, virtually no resources, and in some cases they can be invulnerable or close to it.

Why would I play tanks when these champions exist? Most of the champions I listed aren't even overpowered, but they are certainly strong. As such, Riot has two choices to fix this dynamic:

Nerf all of these champions into the ground so nobody plays them, thus tanks rise;

OR

Buff tanks in some way that they can actually compete with these champions.

Here is the problem with that: the only things tanks theoretically have over these AD champions is durability, but that itself is questionable. Armor shred exists in , and obviously both last whisper items exist. In addition, Conq gives access to true damage so that eventually tankiness will be outscaled if it does not snowball. I mentioned this in another thread: tank items are not good. Tank keystone diversity does not exist. Offense is too heavily favored. So with this in mind, tanks do not really do very well in this department because their durability gets cut down pretty quickly. Moreover, items like and exist, which eliminate the possibility of any of these AD champions from being bursted down. They effectively have better durability now on top of this.

The only way riot can resurrect tanks is to give them the ability to just kill these champions on their own. If that happens, then suddenly tanks have a place: they can dominate these champions and not allow them to scale. This creates unhealthy tank metas, and frankly though I am repulsed by the current game in terms of damage, I'm not really looking to go back to those ridiculous tank metas either. This isn't a problem with bruisers or assassins being overpowered either, not are their items busted: they're all simply quite good. The real problem is tanks don't have items or keystones, and tanks don't have a place because these champions also have a ton of CC to give them the same capacity as tanks. So even if you buff tanks items and keystones, I'm not sure it would be enough.

Riot, at some point you need to look into the ridiculous amount of CC you've granted in this game. Many of these champions simply should not be having the CC they have, and if you want them to have access to some CC that is fine. But they need to lose spammability of it. And you cannot fix this problem by simply buffing tenacity: because most of these champions ignore tenacity. Introducing an item into the game that reduces the effectiveness of knock-ups might work, but that really is just putting a band-aid on a wound that requires surgery. You have to, at some point, look back and realize this dynamic cannot exist. Otherwise you run into situations where tanks are obsolete because they really do not bring anything to the table. I would not feel so strongly about this if you were willing to allow tanks to have GODLIKE durability, giving them a niche. However, that will not happen. You like offense too much. What I'm suggesting won't happen either, but that is exactly why many players that play tanks will grow more frustrated with the game. I don't even play tanks and I'm frustrated.

To sum it up, these champions aren't even overpowered but this shit is dumb.
