And theres some ppl saying "it isnt a tank meta", literally almost every tank in the game is seeing competitive play, and multiple are picked per team, you cant even say anymore "tanks are weak nobody plays malphite!!!!!" anymore lmao.

Btw riot nerf item 3190 item 3193item 3076 if you didnt get the clue, and tone down some of those absurd tank base damages so maybe tanks can stop taking over the game.

Yes, ppl only play tanks in lcs because of lethality, yet the only champs that build lethality on lcs are jayce and possibly jhin/mf.

"Surely thats the reason theres 5+ tanks per game, lethality meta!!!!"

How can ppl actually believe this? Lmao, lethality wasant meta in competitive even with the pre nerf duskblade, the last lethality meta we had was in 7.5, not 7.15.

It´s not a tank meta. It´s a duskblade meta. Tanks function in it because they don´t die in a blink. Especially armor steroid tanks like Malph.

Didn't you also claim it's a duskblade ghostblade meta where are those in your cherrypicked example?

In general people are really misusing meta when talking about lethality items atm. If it was you would see multiple lethality champions in pro play and we just aren't because it's not effective enough.

I mean, every class unavoidably gets its chance in the spotlight. Tank meta is just caused by assassin meta, which was caused by lethality changes which where done because ADCs and mages were too strong after season 6 which happened because juggernauts were too strong after season 5 which were introduced because the game had gotten stale after lane swap meta and champs like Darius had to be differentiated from champs like maokai in terms of kit focus and itemization exclusively helpful for them.

Tank meta because of lethality? In the LCS? How very gameplay of a thing to say.

You might see Jayce build duskblade to use as a ward detector and because he can smash peeps with it. Also because he's a bit ridiculous. You'd be lucky to see more than that.

It's always a tank meta in the LCS. It's just a question of 1-2 tank average meta or 2-3 tank average meta. We're in the later.
