Get rid of tank meta.

wtXwnY4Fwa··2 votes·1,875 views

This meta is by far the most boring/dumbest thing that has ever been implemented. I realize the idea was to bring back champions that have not previously been popular but there has to be another way then to make them all stupidly op. I'm sick of everytime in my ranked games where sejuani, hecarim, graggas don't get banned and i instantly lose no matter what because of how dumb the new item cinderhulk. It's stupidly overpowered and I don't understand how this is going unchanged. Is it not obvious that tank meta is ridiculous with the sporadic of cho gath mid? like wat. Do you not realize the sheer power of tanks based on the low skill cap required to play them? I'm on the verge of quitting if the champions that just stomp my games everytime they're in them aren't nerfed, I'm sick of being beaten by players that I can tell are significantly worse than the players on my team just because they first picked sejuani, either make it so tanks take a hell of a lot longer to scale or just straight up remove cinderhulk and replace it with something else. Is it not obvious that it is ruining the game? It's so broken that even toplaners are running smite just to buy it please please fix your game before myself and many others quit out of frustration from the lack of skill in this meta.

Another squishy main who can't get over the idea that they need to at least build defense to sustain and the fact they should stop focusing tanks I presume?

Lol another sejuani main hard to not focus tanks if their team consists of cho gath mid, sejuani jg, irelia top, nautalis support, and an adc thats what the game is coming too, 4 tanks 1 adc do you not see how boring it is? "not focusing" tanks isn't an option when they can burst you down like a leblanc but they have 4k hp and 200 of each resistance, does that seem logical to you?

If you have LW, BotRK, Bloodthirster, Maw, Abyssal, Void Staff or hell, IE. Then killing those fellas is a piece of cake. Since they all are walking hp bars with AoE DoT and that's it, nothing beats actual raw damage that scales, assuming you aren't making mistakes everywhere.

Do you also have problems against Sunfire Cape?

If they get too much cc, then get Merc or Qss. Or Zephyr if you feel like it.

EDIT: Also I feel like to point out that Cho and Irelia are not tanks.

sunfire cape is not nearly as strong as cinderhulk, what i'm trying to say is that this meta is boring as shit, and there are very few champions that can actually excel and many champions that are just worthless if riot is truly trying to balance the game this is not the way to do it.

So when Assassins could 1 shot everything and anything, including fed tanks who are supposed to tank, was a good thing? Or was it when ADCs were the most powerful class being the strongest early and OP late? Or was it when mages could kill everything that moved from 10 miles away with bursts and AoEs? Or was it when AA junglers could kill everybody with broken FF?

Tanks are meant to tank when they build tank, Cinderhulk and Sunfire are simply there to provide them some damage to help their teamfight presence, last hitting and whatnot.

You can simply hit the LoLwiki page and check out their stats, Cinderhulk is better late and Sunfire is better in mid game and they can't stack each other. What's the problem? We have been dealing with tankier characters buying Sunfires for ages now.

I hate this meta as well. Tanks are really op. Why should a tank be able to 100-0 a carry in 2 seconds while building pure tank? There should be a risk/reward builds for tanks. Either you risk your tankiness to build dammage, or you go the safe route, and build pure tank, but your damage will suffer tremendously.

The problem definitely lies within cinder hulk. When you have top laners taking smite just for the jungle item you know that something is definitely not balanced.

Please share with us what tank can do that.

Nasus? I thought we were talking about tanks. I thought we were talking about junglers. Nasus is a tanky late game bruiser. You've got this stuck up attitude and don't even know what the roles are or what defines them. Nasus is not a tank. He only has one cc ability. Also nothing really changed with Nasus. He didn't benefit from cinderhulk at all. And Sejuani and Gragas can not kill an ADC in two seconds building full tank. For a platinum you don't know much.

Dude you're so dumb it's actually paining me to respond to you, you've got actually 0 idea of what you're saying, literally any tank in this meta can 1v1 a carry with ease, you've got this dumb attitude because you enjoy tanks because you're bad at the game and need the crutch of an easy to play champion. let me define this for you tardlet, a tank is someone who is TANKY doesn't matter if they're a "bruiser or fighter" they're a TANK someone who FRONTLINES for the team nasus doesn't sit in the back and wait for the right time to strike he's in the enemies face the ENTIRE fight please get your head out of your ass holy crap dude let me put it like this because im not responding to your 50IQ posts anymore, you like tank meta because you are bad, tank meta is great for bad players who want to abuse op champs, riot is NOT balancing the game by doing this and they should be trying to find a good balance between tanks and assassins

You really don't know what a tank is or why there is a "tank meta" do you? Being tanky is not the same thing as being a tank. And nothing changed with Nasus anyway, you get that right? Also I only play one tank regularly and that's at support. Your assassin elitism is amusing to me.

Wow, a tank can kill a carry while building purely defensive items? Why should the carry survive if they build purely offensive items?

It's just an obnoxious meta. I don't care whether it's balanced or not, it's annoying AF and not at all fun to play - for me at least.

I'd also like to point out the lack of counterplay in this meta, there's nothing you can do if a graggas strolls into your lane at 4k hp misses everything then just proceeds to auto you to death with his W and you can't even kill him.

Don't focus the tank, it's LoL 101. And it's impossible for Gragas to AA you to death anyway, unless you have exactly 0 sustain and you aren't even trying to fight back at all.

And he is not a tank to begin with.

You do realise just in the melee category there are Fighters, Bruisers, Melee ADC, Assassins and Tanks right?

Gragas sits somewhere in the fighter to bruiser category.

Fighter and bruiser are different things. One is more offense oriented such as Xin the other is more defense oriented such as Renekton.

You know, ADCs are technically supposed to be focusing the tank. They are the only ones with the sustained damage needed to take them down. And in any case, you are supposed to be hitting whatever is closet to you, kitting backwards; this usually ends up being the tank

And they can still kill tanks, with their trusty LW and BotRK, no tanks is too hard for them. Not to mention they have a peel bot right next to them at all times.

I don't get why some complain about tanks being viable when they can just build tenacity, QSS or some MR to ignore most of the problem.

Not when there are deadlier targets around.

I love this meta. Mostly because I enjoy playing tanks. However, I dont have a problem killing themi most of the time. You just can't blow them up like you used to be able to.

You are silver, you literally have 0 idea what you are talking about you don't play vs anyone good so you don't have any idea, any champ works in silver because it's silver, try playing in diamond where people know how to play and abuse op champs, It's impossible to play vs someone who knows what they're doing on sejauni even if they miss the ult they'll still 1v1 any champ TLDR: everyone is voting down this post because 90% of the community is in silver and has no actual game knowledge - if you had any game knowledge you'd at least be in gold doesn't take mechanics to make it out of silver.

LOL...just checked your stats and now I see the issue. You're a cheese assassin main, and are sad that there aren't so many squishy targets to 100-0 over and over again. And if you think Sej can 1v1 any champion you are delusional.

Go look at my match history, I've never played sej or graggas and i just destroyed games with them, the champions are unfair and retardedly easy dumb silvers don't know the first thing about this game, don't pretend to.

I just find this ironic coming from a person who mains easy mode assassins who delete people left and right. Keep talking about my league though as if that makes your petulant, whining argument any more valid.

I'll go take a wild guess and assume you're an assassin main.
