Playing against vi/renek or any of the tanks that pretty much one shot you as yasuo

Ok im probably a little biased here cuz of my last match. But i felt completely useless the whole game. They would focus me and tower dive me whenever they felt like it in the middle of my whole team and god damn take no damage.

My question is how is it even remotely possible to beat a tank team (vi,cass,ashe,renek,karma) when tanks do about as much damage as a full build yasuo...with ga...and Mercurial scimitar. i honestly dont understand i have life steal, i have Armour and mr and a MAW to boot. But i cant survive a vi and renek. i would be lucky to get off an ultimate in a team fight and it would just be my ult and then get blown up.

Why dont tanks stay as just that tanks. No damage loads of HP and defence.

I am probably really tilted right now but i cant think of a build on yasuo that can do anything against them champions; Im used to surviving a while on yasuo only today i completely got annihilated every team fight. If i was ADC i would imagine id be absolutely useless in team fights as they probably get blown up even quicker.

AnotherQuestion is why the hell are you unable to QSS Vi's ult?? it feels really unfair like you can zhonyas everything in the game but an adc or any non ap champ has to time everything perfectly to avoid things like knock ups, pulls, hooks, stuns...etc.

the final question is does anyone feel like league has gotten worse over the last 2 years or am i just getting bored of it??

Ngl they have about 3k+ hp with shit tons of MR and AR and shield(Vi) which makes them a tank in my book, Especially with Renek ult.

not tanks... they are bruisers they build damage with hp and some resistances

None of those champs (Vi, Renekton, Cass, Ashe, Karma) are tanks. If they build damage, they are squishy and will melt when focused by your team. The reason they feel like that is because of the amount of Cc Vi and Renekton make it feel that way just because they become able to kill you within their Cc duration.

As far as Vi ult, pretty sure you can Qss the Cc from it but just not the damage (like Fizz ult).

You're getting downvoted because you were playing Yasuo is my bet.

Tanky champions with absurd amounts of damage are quite OP. As much as these boards seem to be in a circle jerk of ranged being stronger than melee, it simply is almost impossible to win a SOLO QUEUE game against a hugely tanky team comp. Load a team up with tanks/bruisers that also deal loads of damage and throw in Ashe or Vayne and they'll group as 5 around 10-15min into the game and just dive towers for 5-0 teamfights the rest of the game.

Any time you complain about it people will just tell you to abuse their weak early game. I don't get that at all. Like they can choose to not CS and not die in lane, can't they? If non-tanks could just kill tanks at will, then no one would ever play tanks. So a full tank team can definitely make it to the 15min mark. They have too much damage for the amount of CC they bring - that's really all there is too it. I understand why they need some level of damage (because they need to still be a threat and e.g. beat assassins since it should be assassins > ADCs / mages > Tanks / Fighters > Assassins) but a lot of tanks can keep up with a lot of damage.

Amumu DrMundo Galio Garen Maokai Shen Singed - I think that's an exhaustive list of tanks/fighters that are actually balanced (excluding supports) (at least in the sense that their damage isn't overbearing and is instead rightly sacrificed to explain their tankiness).

Renekton is a lane bully and if I recall correctly, Renekton is usually a difficult matchup for most toplaners, including Yasuo. I'm not sure of the Yasuo/Vi matchup though.

That said, each champion has good/bad match ups, not just Yasuo. If you're opponent is dominating the lane then your best bet is to play safe, ward up and ask your jungler to assist you in getting you a lead. If it's safe, you can also push in your wave and look to roam.

That said, I wouldn't really call Renekton or Vi tanks, and the team Vi Renekton Cassiopeia Ashe Karma isn't really a "tank team". In fact, the last three of those champions are rather squishy unless they build tank items and are very vulnerable to assassins and burst mages.
