Do you guys think Armor and Magic Resist need a change or rework?

Honestly as a person who enjoys tanks and bruisers I really feel like resistances are hardly helping, especially MR for some reason. Whenever a mage gets fed I find myself having to stack two MR items just because the first one hardly helped. I'd like to know others opinions on this as well.

No. Resistances are fine as is. It's like people think they should be invulnerable to damage after building a single defensive item

At least buff them to be 100% gold efficient before passives.

They suck something fierce. Most of the time it buys you just long enough to not be able to use one more skill. Tanks need to be CC machines that absorb tremendous damage while dealing almost none. Riot gave them too much damage, so it needs to be reduced before armor and mr can be relevant.

MR alone isnt going to save you from a fed ap champ. if it is a typical mage they are more burst then dps so HP is key with MR .

as a tank if you can survive their entire burst rotation then you did your job.

most mages cant kill tanks unless stupid ahead or have dps in their kits.

No, there needs to be less true damage, armor pen and magic pen in the game.

Remove Void Staff and Last whisper+upgrades.

Adjust armor/MR accordingly.

Removing 30%+ of someone's gold value is never going to be balanced.


There is no universe where both deathcap and void staff can be bought mutually and not be overbearing, even with significant MR.

Same with IE + LW upgrades.


On top of that, the fact that % pen champion passives stack with LW/VS is utterly ridiculous.

"To beat this fed champion I have to use TWO whole items Rito! This is unacceptable!"

No. %pen needs to be tuned the fuck down.
