Want tanks to be played more? Don't blame ranged champs.

Seriously, why do people want to make "dem evil ranged champs abusing muh itemz" the scapegoat for everything?

It's not like melee only is going to solve any actual problems, btw. But as of now, I don't see much problems.

ADC - Ez is now highest playrate - aka, not much damage is going to be coming from that lane. Lucian is #2, and pen/BC is becoming less common now., more triforce and bork. Jhin #3, but he is hardly a tank killer. Meanwhile, MF and Varus at a measly 6.5% playrate, y'know the MF that people complained about doing too much damage to tanks.

Jungle - only ranged ad in meta is graves, and he barely plays like a ranged.

And now we come to top lane, where the tanks are usually played. Most played? Riven, you know the champ that can build full penetration and has endless damage because of how spammable her abilities are, so not like she is reliant on burst. Number 2? Fiora, no explanation needed about how she plays vs tanks. #3? Renekton, who now builds BC and wrecks your team with armor reduction.

Ranged in top lane? Only jayce, and his playrate is #10.

Also don't worry mid lane is all AP except for zed and talon.

Support is plagued by ranged supports as for tanks they're all garbage in high elo, bond of stone only helped tahm kench and he is now the only tank support viable

Midlane is plagued by ranged champions, riot needed to break assassins with lethality to make them viable

Toplane is a shitfest of ranged champs and 0/7 champs that are still usefull aka poppy naut and maokai, and fiora because fiora balance became a meme at this point

And ADC, lmao unless you're darius or morde good luck for going adc as a melee

i don't know for you, but in high elo this is the description of what happens

I mean you practically just said that a full lethality riven will dumpster your tank top early game. That's a no lol. If she runs full lethality and thunderlords she'll practically be doing negative dmg to any tank top lane.

And Yasuo, mid. He's AD.

Also, I'm fairly sure you mean a 6.5% _play_rate on Varus and Miss Fortune. A 6.5% play rate is just rather low. A 6.5% win rate is cause for an emergency shutdown and rework of that champion.
