The Definitive Difference Between a Tank and a Juggernaut.

For those of you still wondering the difference, I have summarized the difference in two sentences.

Ignore a tank, and his team will kill you.

Ignore a juggernaut, and he will kill you.

IIRC mordekaiser shat on katarina and still shits on katarina.

Being the main of a different juggernaut Darius, I can tell you that although the new kat is a bit more hoppy, she gets shat on just as much as the old kat did by old kat's counters.

nonononono, u misunderstood

I'm just saying that if morde can get close enough to kat in the first place, shes doing something wrong [slayer-jinx-wink] no hate on mah boy malicious metal

Or realise you're walking on Skarner's Fun Zone. Or when you're surrounded by tentacles. Or when you're trapped in a wall of rotting flesh while mindless, zombified corpses maul at you.

Idk, I think the glowing shovel to the face is worse.

Dude, how often do you refresh the boards page? You're even worse than me when I'm bored >_>

Ralanr9 votes

Every. Fucking. Second.

My job is incredibly unproductive. I'm actually wasting a lot of data on the boards (which is why I try to avoid gifs from M&G). I'm pretty sure I need to get an unlimited data plan.

Seriously though. My job can go for hours without a transfer.

All of what you just said sounded dirty.

Come little kids to Uncle Skarners Fun zone. When surrounded by tentacles. Orifice will be invaded. I wouldn't want to drop the soap in that wall of zombies.

Juggernauts are tanks with damage instead of CC.

One line, beat that ![slayer-jinx-wink]

[slayer-pantheon-thumbs] Good one!

However I can one-up that with four words.

Tanks CC, Juggernauts damage.

Juggernauts can have CC, though.

Darius has a hook and a slow DrMundo has a low CD slow Nasus has a strong targeted slow Shyvana can carry people Trundle (semi juggernaut when built with damage and E maxed last) has his knockup/slow on his pillar Udyr has a stun Volibear can flip people Yorick has a wall and a slow

It's more that juggernauts tend to have low range and/or reliability on their CC meaning that combined with their low mobility they are weaker at peeling and engaging than other champions and just overall can't lock a target down as long as a tank can.

And Illaoi can pull health bars into her team.

RavenMagus4 votes

Juggernauts can CC, but literally everyone in the game can CC. Even ADCs can CC. The main point is just as you said; it's not that Juggernauts can't CC at all, it's that their CC is bad compared to a tank's.

Just like a tank can deal damage still, but it's bad compared to a juggernaut's. Unless you're Zac, I guess.

Vi and Irelia are divers though.

TyrekGoldenspear29 votes

Wait!

Irelia and Vi aren't Juggernauts!

They are Divers!

Let me explain.

Juggernauts can be kited. Ashe laughs at Garen or Darius when they try to catch her.

Have you tried kiting Irelia or Vi?

Irelia : fuck yo kiting, I got psionic blades that will chase you.

Vi fuck yo kiting, I can dunk you bitch.

Illaoi and Shyvana are the only tow female Juggernauts

Tank's usually try and draw out the team into them. Juggernauts just go balls in saying F you and your team I want your squishy. One offensive, the other one is defensive >.<

TyrekGoldenspear4 votes

Ah, tanks do both actually. Only there are two kinds of tanks.

Vanguards and Wardens.

EDIT: I'll just put it here, as it seems pointless to make a whole new thread just for this.

Vanguards jump into the enemy team and CC as many people as possible. Think Malphite or Leona.

Wardens stay in your team and keep your carries safe. Think Braum or Taric.

Done257 votes

A better way to state it is that Vanguard = offensive tank Warden = defensive tank The former usually has higher damage while the latter comes with utility.

Doozku6 votes

Vanguards also tend to have more aoe cc, while wardens usually have more single target cc.

Ralanr2 votes

Hmm...I never noticed this actually.

but focus a juggernaut, and his team will still kill you. so it's a lose/lose situation. sure, juggernauts aren't as tanky as a tank is (debatable), but they can still perform the role good enough.

Ralanr7 votes

Except when it comes to locking down targets.

Except when it comes to locking down targets.

True, what differentiates a tank and a juggernaut isn't really tank-ability (if a darius gets a three man Q I guarantee you he will out-tank any damn tank out there besides like Rammus and late game sion). However, unlike tanks, most juggernauts are usually either:

have virtually no CC (Illaoi), have one notable soft cc (Nasus), or are limited to one hard cc and maybe a soft cc complement (Darius).

Tanks usually have multiple instances of hard CC and soft CC. Look no further than nautilus, the definition of a walking ball of CC. This guy has a pull, a root, a non-dodgeable knockup and stun that knocks up anything in its path, and an aoe slow.

Dracocrash1 votes

Wait, I dont get it. If you ignore a tank, you are focusing his team. If you are kiling his team, then they cant kill you. I dont understand your first statement.

TyrekGoldenspear7 votes

The first statement means that if you completely ignore them, as in if your peeling supports/wardens go after the enemy carries instead of peeling off enemy vanguards, then the enemy team will win because your carries will be CC locked.
