How many times do I need to remind people that LS is post Armor. Stacking Life steal is not the answer to thornmail. If the tank is stacking Armor, you need armor shred, especially if they have a thornmail.

Joe DreddMay 19, 20152 votes

We did have armor shred. We had a black cleaver and I had last whisper. And I know thornmail is pre-mitigation

compare an adc's damage to a tanks late game, compare a tank's tankieness to an adc in the first 5 mins of the game

Joe DreddMay 19, 20152 votes

A tank will kill an adc faster than an adc will kill a tank late game. A tank will live longer than an adc early game because they typically have sustain / a shielding mechanic built into their kit.

A tank only kills an adc before they die if they are incompetent. I rarely kill any decent adcs late game as a tank without someone else doing the damage for me, and my friend who is always adc rarely dies to any even if the enemy builds thornmail.

Example: Playing full build naut vs full build adc. Press r. walk up with righteous glory and auto to snare them after they land. (smite b4 this) use w to cancel into another auto and start dealing true and magic damage at the same time. Hook them as snare ends. Press E. Congrats, you have taken 0 damage, and the enemy adc is at 20% health. And in randuin slow and you can chase them until they die while taking no damage because a single auto on you will cause them to die.

one word, kiting... most tanks are mele build a quicksilver sash and there goes their gap closer then you can kite the rest of the way and almost all the adcs have an easy way to avoid righteous glory chasing them ashe passive and q and w and ult jinx w and her passive if she gets a kill and her w slows sivir spellshield and ult teemo w if youre playing marksmen teemo vayne ult q and passive and e tristanna jump and ult miss fortune passive and e lucian e varus e urgot w and ult quinn e and ult graves dash kalistas almost entire kit caitlyn traps and e gangplank ult and w(?) if youre into that gp adc

Joe DreddMay 19, 20151 votes

Please tell me how you qss anything but nauts passive snare. Most tanks have knockups loaded into their kit anyways.

Cyber MxllyMay 19, 20151 votes

nauts ult his q if timed correctly

Joe DreddMay 19, 20151 votes

you obviously don't know shit about this game based on this statement

Cyber MxllyMay 19, 20151 votes

you can look it up -.- and you can use it on his ult too

Joe DreddMay 20, 20151 votes

You can not Qss knock ups or knock backs.

Cyber MxllyMay 21, 20151 votes

oh my b tenacity affects knockups now i thought qss would affect them too but yes you can qss his hook you can also do it with thresh blitz and skarner

Joe DreddMay 21, 20151 votes

It doesn't reduce knockup duration either.

Cyber MxllyMay 21, 20151 votes

Yeah it does they changed it not too long ago

Joe DreddMay 21, 20151 votes

do you know which patch?

Joe DreddMay 21, 20151 votes

Any adc can easily kite

Look at "Lord Yamazuki's" match history and realize you are arguing with a tank. The pure definition of biased.

Look at "Lord Yamazuki's" match history and realize you are arguing with a tank. The pure definition of biased.

and then look at my ranked stats for previous seasons and you'll see I play adc and non-tank supports as well. All my normal games are with friends, and all role but jungle is taken every time, so of course, I play tanks in my normal games. Not only that, but I have a smurf with more than half the games being Ezreal or Lux. Almost as if I'm perfectly fine playing any type of champion, the definition of biased are the people with 90% of their ranked games being 1 champion and claiming it's weak, when it's not. As a tank I've never walked up and just deleted adcs like adcs claim, and as an adc I've never had a tank kill me by themselves.

Cyber MxllyMay 19, 20151 votes

had to comment on this, amumu, singed, and many other full tanks are almost as squishy as most adc's early

Joe DreddMay 19, 20151 votes

not even, tanks are tankier simply because their base stats increase quicker and start higher.

And that is how it is meant to be, tanks cannot (usually) kill squishies anywhere near as fast as carries can. Carries need to be beaten by something, turns out their weakness is getting crowd controlled and killed by the mid laner. Get over it.

Joe DreddMay 19, 20151 votes

had to comment again on how stupid this comment was. You do know that a there's only three minutes of actual gameplay in the first 5 minutes, and games takes upwards of 30 minutes to complete? So 10% of a game the adc is nearly as tanky as a tank. Big whoop

Malix FarwinMay 19, 20151 votes

The fact that people call this "the tank meta" should tell you that they OP atm. To say otherwise is feigning ignorance.
