The next Class update is The Tank(Vanguard) Update

Oooooooh Happy days ^^

But in all fairness which tank needs the update the most? My money is on:

Rammus : His Q is too poor for initiating and his Ult just deals damage instead of putting people in a "OH SHIT!" mode, also his passive might need changing. Rammus could be either become a proper vanguard or vanguard-juggernaut hybrid. Hard to say.

Malphite : Kit is boring to an extent. HIs Q is mana intensive but slows, W and E is for AoE damage while his ult can just Nuke People if he builds AP, maybe lower his AP scaling while enhancing his basic abilities.

Skarner : Like Rammus Skarner is Jugg-vanguard hybrid being more based on his vanguard side at the moment, Riot may rework him to better become a vanguard but may still keep some elements of his juggernaut side since vanguards are offensive tanks.

Anyway who do you guys think will be in line for the big or small update and want do you want to see being change for the vanguards.

Me too, that is something that needs to be improved to stop champions that are not meant to build tanky and become OP get away with it while Tanks and to a lesser or equal extent Juggernauts and divers get more of the benefits.

Rammus might get smaller changes because he is high priority for a VGU. Maybe the Swain/Akali treatment, likewise with Skarner I feel that Maokai and Sejuani are most likely going to get larger changes based on what the nexus article shows. I can also see Malphite Amumu Shen ( there was talk about revisting Shen in a class update, but he is a warden so idk) having substantial changes

Don't know about Maokai and shen but they are Wardens, not Vanguards, but Sejuani is one, so she'd be on the list and so is Amumu

True, but there was a picture of Maokai in the article. Maybe it was referring to the splash art updates. IMO I feel that the distinction between Warden and Vanguard shouldn't matter too much because at the end of the day, they are addressing tanks that mainly go top/jungle. Maokai and Poppy are both labeled as Wardens, but they both pump out quite a respectable amount of damage for a protective tank.
