Daily Reminder that armor is useless
Gutted items. They don't do anything. You can't reduce Attack speed enough. You can't reduce crit damage enough. There are not enough tools in this game to make it fair.

False. Did you forget that this season started as League of tank champs despite the adc changes? Sure, there were a few adc outliers but overall tanks dominated the scene.
Don't necessarily disagree with the lack of attack speed debuffs, but there are less attack speed items now also (hurricane lost 40% attack speed, phantom lost 15%, etc).
Randuins reducing crit damage is fairly new and is the only and first crit damage debuff in the game. There didn't use to be any. One is fine. AND it reduces attack speed as well. Talk about 2 birds one stone.
There are plenty of armor items to choose from. If you are that worried about their ad damage, Randuins, Ninja tabi (you don't always have to buy swifties), thornmail will put any decent tank at around 2800 health and a crap ton of armor. And that is only 3 items. And don't forget last whisper doesn't effect the armor you gain per level anymore, meaning you always have around 40% damage reduction.
Most importantly, don't forget that if an adc has an infinite amount of time to attack any target they will kill it. Buying armor isn't suppose to allow you to beat the adc; its to buy enough time that your own damage (I don't mean your champs, I mean your teams damage) kills their adc. There are a few exceptions, but in general this is the rule. If you want to be an armor stacking tank that kills adc's, you are playing the wrong game. Because in most cases that won't be the case (unless you are malphite; dude is OP as balls).
You can't just ignore all other AD champions when you talk about buffing armour "because marksmen are too strong". The push and pull between tanks and ADCs (where AD assassins are in the middle getting perpetually screwed over) needs to stop.
Also, the most broken ADCs (as of last patch) all had magic damage. What is buffing armour going to do about that? Tanks are just boring and bring nothing to this game. They get rid of all of the action and faced paced game play and make it a game of "well you picked two tanks and we picked three so haha l2p scrubs".
If Malphite rushes 3,500 units head of his team and tries to 1v5, he should get blown up in seconds like anyone else, not live long enough for his team to get there with him at half HP. What is interesting about that?
All the tweaks they've done for this season have made the games faster because people die faster. It's ruined the game. It's reduced strategies to frenetic ducking, sliding out, and peeling off. Just had a streak of awful games and you can see how everyone's found the champs to play in this season and leave the others alone.
Can you say "HELLO SHYVA!?"
