''Top lane is ruled by tank meta''

Its funny because the current meta toplaners are mostly fighters

Have you ever considered the majority of people simply hate playing tanks? Top lane is saturated by people who have mained top for years in a carry position. Just because tanks dominate, doesn't mean all of them will automatically switch over. The multitude of people swarming in on top, just getting into it and picking tanks won't make tanks winrate go up. But being a carry top laner myself, I'll say 100% for a fact top lane is a tank meta. The reason being you'll have an infinitely easier time helping your team win by playing a tank, rather than playing a fighter.

Statistics don't show the full story. Of course brusiers are going to have better overall winrates, considering most mains and one tricks in the top lane are BRUISER players. Imagine if suddenly, all these bruiser mains decided to spam the likes of Sion, Malphite and Maokai constantly? Top lane mains have a way better understanding of how the game works rather than people just playing "tanks". But it's sad, because these newby top lane tank players still get away with bad macro and micro simply because they're playing a tank. The amount of work I have to put in to come ahead of a tank just isn't worth the pressure of playing a bruiser into a tank these days.

However, having said that... I'm obviously a masochist and even though my chances of winning are slim I'll be doing it anyways.

Nobody has said this since orn got gutted and the new keystone I can't spell came out. Now they just need a way for bruisers to be actually useful in the game and toplane is fixed. Ish.

yea and ornn was balanced when he had 49% win rate

I haven't seen anyone say that since Conqueror came out, have you?

oh boi tank meta

If anything tanks are getting dumpstered by fighters.

proplay is 5+ tanks out of the 10 picks per game

not a tank meta, right?

better to have tank meta than fighter ,adc or assasin meta, atleast they cant destroy turrets like they are out of paper

I stopped playing tanks when "Conqueror" came out. Now I melt tanks with Master Yi.

Well as long as single person can win a game by building 1 there will be at least one other person who complains about Tank-META... just ignore it. xD

Ye, most tanks are so bad right now. I mained Maokai in season 7 and he felt so smooth. Good damage, great CC, great tankiness and good waveclear.

Now, he lost his waveclear ( I have a lot of trouble clearing waves now, since his Q doesn't 1shot them, forcing me to buy Sunfire Cape), his CC isn't as strong, when everyone, even ADCs, can buy merc treads, because they don't really need the attack speed boots, his tankiness isn't there anymore, because of all the healing reduction and tankbusting that goes on.

I used to get Righteous Glory first or second item and force fights and dives, and even turning a game around when it was lost because of it. Now, I tried playing Maokai, only to find out that I will only win, if my team carries me, mostly through bot lane.

Plays Morgana toplane to decent effect.

ah sion, the most balanced champ, never change him rito

And it's been this way since the "tank update" that gutted their items while crazy overbuffing three specific tanks which have since been nerfed back into obscurity.

Thing is Tanks top only happen in Pro matches mostly and then thats because they synergize well with adcs not because they are any kind of good themselves

no one plays tanks anymore
