Sick to death of salty tank mains

fractalfantasies··2 votes·796 views

Whenever I come on here this forum is full of nothing but angry bitter (probably overweight) tank mains QQ'ing about

'OMG LEBLANC, MOAR LIKE LEBROKEN LELELE XD GUT NOW PLZ RITO' 'OMG KALISTA, SO TOXIC NEVER SHUD BEEN RELEASED PS KILL CERTAINLYT' 'OMG VAYNE MAX HEALTH% TRU DAMAGE, NO COUNTERPLAY GG' 'OMG ZED SO SAFE SO MOBILE WILL NEVER BE GUTTED CUZ LCSPIGSPLAY$' 'OMG LEE SIN MOAR LIKE FREE WIN AMARITE, KIT SO OVERLOADED'

Have you guys never considered that it is up to you to find a way to deal with these champions and if you feel they are pretty much impossible to deal with, then maybe you should pick them yourself for a free win, as opposed to constantly playing volibear and expecting the meta to reward you for this? The utter hypocrisy astonishes me, right now cinderhulk is oppressively OP and all we have is tank mains claiming that the tank meta is the most healthy. It's just as healthy/unhealthy as the assassin meta as the adc hypercarry meta, so please enjoy your but cut out the self-entitlement.

I main Cho'Gath, one of most immobile tanks in the game (given that unlike some he has no dash of any kind, not even a speed boost)

LeBlanc is annoying for me, but only on squishies, on tanks I find her irrelevant since I eventually just outscale her burst.

Kalista is stupid in general (no matter who your using, next patch will probably make her a bit easier to catch though).

Generally I'd find it odds that tank mains are complaining about any of those, except for maybe Vayne (though I find the complaints about her unwarranted)

I don't mind people playing tanks and using their cc to counter hyper mobile champions, but I just can't stand the people who main immobile tanky champs and expect every new champion released to be pegged down to their level of mobility as if there are not other tradeoffs for being mobile, such as being squishy.

Right, if they have 2 or more mobile champs I wouldn't want to pick champs with little mobility or skill shot cc. They don't want to keep up with their mobility or have easy cc.

For example:

if they pick Kalista if playing support I'd rather go Maokai instead of Thresh.

If they pick Jinx then I'd pick Thresh

Of course choosing a support for your team has more variables.

CC isn't unique to tanks. One of the main reasons Tanks use both CC and Tanky Stats is that they are the main engage. They Lock up the carries while soaking up damage, giving a chance for your team to attack.

Now before the Tank meta, You had a fair amount of engage power form top lane mages such as kennen and lisandra. This was because they had the engage and CC tools that a tank should have, yet the need for tankyness was substituted by Zonyas, So they could build Offensively and soften up the team as they engaged. However, now that tanks are decent, these engage mages lost footing because they cannot soften up someone with 4-5k health.

As a tank main, I get more irritated at vultures (they avoid the fight altogether until their allies are dead or the enemy is near death so they can swoop in and steal the kill) and other players who are otherwise unwilling to fight when it's happening right next to them. Last night, I went 1v5 against the entire enemy team in the jungle. Singed was less than a flash distance away from the fight and just watched as I survived for HALF A MINUTE against the onslaught.

I don't think the tank mains are salty about this. They can actually survive Assassins. And Kalista isn't even a tank shredding ADC. so The only one they tanks really worry about is vayne. yet vayne would be countered by everyone else on that list.

No Idea why tanks mains would be complaining at all. It's their meta right now.

More like fed of ADC, mage support, fighter/hypercarry toplaner/jungler, AND tank occasional players. EVERYTHING hates assassins.

Here's coming from a Shyvana main.

If a tank dies to Kalista or Lee Sin, and they DIDN'T swoop in from somewhere while said tank was low, something went HORRIBLY wrong.

Just go Tankkong. With the right items, it works.
