Tank Meta.

Dear Riot,

You're game has been out for half a decade. Tanks were a thing from day one. Why, can you not, touch tanks, without making them broken. Why is AP maokai a thing. Why can these champions build nothing but AP and be tanky, yet build nothing but tank and still take a huge steaming, boar sized turd (looking at you sej), on squishes. And non squishies. And bruisers. Level 1 Sapling damage from maokai is on par with a matra'd Q from karma. Sejuini is doing percent max health damage and gaining an absurd amount of resistances from fights. Who though allowing Rammus to refresh his taunt was a good idea? 6+ seconds of chainable cc. Oh, and he one shots turrets 11 minutes in with his ult.

Its not, difficult. You have one job Riot, ONE. Don't, allow tanks, to deal damage, without sacrificing their tankyness. Thats simple. No tank should deal percent max health bonus damage of any kind. No tank should have good AP or AD scaling. No tank should have auto attack damage passives that scale with defensive stats. No tank should have the flat resistances or kit, to build full damage or ability power, and be able to tank effectively.

I understand, you want champs to be viable in multiple roles. you want tanks to be interesting to play. But this level of god tier brain cancer growing a tumor on my very bloody soul, because an AP maokai support threw three sapplings in a bush, and despite my 130 magic resist, is doing half my health in damage, or a Rammus taunted me for seven days and then took two turrets with a single ult cast. Figure it out, this is absurd.

Umm...excuse my french but WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT... there has been multiple times where tanks havent been meta. Right after the class update for adcs comes to mind. Where there was adcs picked in literally every role. Then there was the juggernaut update dont even get me started on that one. You want tanks to not damage squishies damage creep needs to go back down to season 2 days so tanks dont get 1 shot by squishies if they arent ccd

Cant upvote this enough, This game has been a tank meta since day one. Whoever has more tanks wins every game, guaranteed.

don't play a squish champ with no health or resists and complain when even tanks do damage to you

130 MR, you still face checked three saplings from AP maokai lmao

You realize tanks NEED that damage to be relevant. Without it they can't trade properly in lane and clear the jungle early.

So how is AP Maokai a tank problem? He isn't tanky with that build.

He is a mage at that point. In fact he's less tanky than say Swain who is really strong right now btw.

And I wouldn't be surprised if you have a brain tumor after reading your post. More likely you just don't know enough about the game.

Do some research, go watch some streams, or play the champs you are bitching about if they are so crazy. Coming to the boards to complain doesn't do anything.

Tanks should be the only class with percentage health dmg, this way they can't one shot anyone while remaining a damage threat overtime.
