going full tank and still doing MORE damage than a carry

Graves Ekko Akali Elise

why is this allowed? Honestly, WHY is this cancer allowed to fucking spread in this game? for those that dont understand, building item 3068 item 3083 item 3075 item 3065 is meant to mitigate as much damage from a carry as possible at the sacrifice of damage, EXCEPT you dont sacrifice damage... if you already have insane ratios or % HP damage you will ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS do more damage to a carry than they can do to you. this is a fact.

why have you guys battled with this for so long? since the release of Ahri this type of playstyle has been known to be pure cancer, yet its still allowed to spread in game every damn season, and only gets worse. yes worse. Bruiser Jhin is a sleeper to this play style aswell.

I am a person that loves to build glass canon. its just my playstyle, but i am not rewarded for doing so despite the heavy risks involved in doing those kinds of builds. if i want to go full AP glass canon then i should ATLEAST be able to out damage someone that is going full tank, but that is far from the fucking case when someone like Graves can be tankier than a sion/malph and STILL 1 shot me. its so fucking stupid.

Can we please do something about this before it gets worse with the MYMU?

Graves actually need damage items, it just his ridiculous E steroid turns him into tank.

Well, the champions you listed aren't actual tanks.

It's an issue of champions, not of items. On any champion made to be a tank, those items would be relatively balanced.

So Riot just needs to go after the champions abusing these items (Like Ekko next patch), because if they nerf the items, the actual tanks who build these will be left on the bench, save a certain few like Alistar.

By the way. Thornmail? Really? No one builds Thornmail, right now, it's a bad item.

Graves and akali dont do %hp damage. Graves doesnt really build tank, maybe only steraks so he wouldnt get bursted. Elise builds hp/ ap items. Tank elise, pure tank, doent do much damage. Ekko is nerfed.

Also its not warmogs an thornmail but item 3068 item 3025 . And the fact that u dont know that means that u didnt face it and only reason for this thread is to complain about something

I agree that this needs to be nipped in the bud. There's some graves changes coming on the pbe that will make his tanky version do a lot less damage than his adc crit version, but I feel that they need to also hit these assassins that are building full tank.

It's really annoying to deal with a tank fizz who takes 0 damage, has almost no cooldown on his e, in addition doing more damage than his assassin counterpart because he can stick to the enemy and not die..

Just today I saw a tank fizz that wasn't fed hop into my whole team of fed players and ended up earning a penta kill.. while taking only half health's worth of damage even while focused.

Those champs aren't Tanks, they're just OP

Also just sayin' Tanks can deal most dmg on a team and be perfectly balanced. They're beefy enough to consistently stay in battle whereas a squishy is easily zoned off, and generally they have pretty good low CD AoE abilities that often have %HP dmg on them. This damage is honestly good design because it sets the baseline for the fight and make sit so you can't just ignore tanks.

They build bruiser, not full tank. Not even tanks build full tank right now.

Graves builds almost entirely damage, lol.

Literally every item gives him more damage except his boots. That he also gets great survivability from that build is irrelevant.

I miss Season 3 where you actually had to build shit like item 3020 item 3151 item 3001 to do damage as a Tank. Full build would generally be something like item 3020 item 3143 item 3151 item 3110 item 3065 item 3001.

I don't understand why people complain about tank Akali. It's not strong.
