Tanks made this game no fun and now can abuse the system

I just had a game where the enemy team was 4 tanks and Varus. It was Maokai top, Zac Jungle, Galio mid, Varus ADC, and Nautilus support. After 10 minutes, the game was literally no fun for anyone on our team. It took over a minute to kill just Maokai and if we hadn't aced them before, the rest of the team would show up and have a 5 second CC chain. There was no way to build against it, because the longer we took to build items, the longer they had to scale up and build more defenses.

When 4/5 players can tank 10+ turret shots, the game becomes in-winnable. It was just frustration and futile efforts met with mocking from the enemy team when we inevitably lost. Can we please go back to when assassins ruled the meta? At least the the champs took some skill and not "let me walk into the enemy team until they are pushed into their fountain".

You lost this game in champion select.

Not because they picked tank.

But because you didnt pick any tank killers.

Pick and bans are part of the game and of the balance.

If your team had been : Cassio/Vayne/Brand/Kindred ... you would have shred them with a bit of skill. You can't with ez/tresh/riven/ryze.

Sounds like you were the victim of a team of players that communicated and made a protect the ADC comp. They lucked out that the ADC was good enough to handle being all the damage for them. When you see so many tanks prioritize sustain of some sort because their damage will be low. Champions like Soraka Sona Trundle Swain are all good champions when against 3+ tanks and items like item 3153 item 3504 item 3072 item 3065 item 3139 item 3156 are great for keeping health up.

Juggernaut reworks last year made me pick up Vayne; You may just need to adapt for now.

And Damn! If I haven't felt like a brick house playing Poppy the last two days! :D
