Why is Riot forcing a massive tank meta? Didn't we learn that those are not very good already?

Seriously, why not give tanks everything to literally shit on ADCs. They have reduced crit/attack speed , magic damage AOE , movement speed , damage , massive health booster , split pushing , damage reflection , and now you also want to add grievous wounds to Thornmail?

I would not be supersized if the next tank item change involves adding a true damage passive against champions who have less armor and health than you. It of course would also be an AOE, scaling in radius with your armor and going off every 3 seconds while in combat.

Don't know what you're talking about - Season 5 directly after overtuned Cinderhulk got the first hit - best META ever been.

Beefy Teams -> Long Teamfights - clear Early-Mid-Lategame - like +90% of all champs completely viable - Good objective snowball but always with comeback chances.

Mid season 4 before Ryze took over top, Season 2 and season 5 before the juggernaut patch were the best periods of league.

they arent enforcing a tank meta.. . there is no tank meta... there is maybe one or two tanks that are viable right now

stop with the propaganda

the goal wiht the tank changes was to help games last longer and get out of the 20 min gg games that was becoming to common

I was just making the joke the other day that instead of making new tank items RIOT should just add a few new items restricted to the tank class that resemble the 5 pieces of Exodia. Allowing you to effectively one shot any and everything once you have all 5 of them and you cant die unless some blackhole forms on the rift and sucks everyone into it killing you all. Hang me for the yugioh reference if it triggered you.
