What is this nonsense? Mage can melt tanks armor, freeze them to death, electrocute them in their heavy armor. Toasting them in their armor, poison them and many more.

Yet in this game Marksman are both assassins and tank buster??

Burst is countered by durability. Simple.

well in most MMO's (or at least the one i am familiar with)

tank items usually have physical resist and mage items have magic resist

where as in league: armor does nothing. and every champion can stack magic resist

mages/assassins are supposed to counter all squishy targets

Proper league meta" adcs are supposed to counter tanks (although frankly they last like 3x longer) bruisers/juggernauts are supposed to counter anything they can get in range on tanks/ support are supposed to provide utility and healing / disruption and aren't really supposed to "win" any fights against another class unless there is a significant gold disadvantage on the other end

however right now its

ADC counters everything tanks/bruiser junggernaut counter everything but ADC assasins counter mages and supports mages counter support and anyone with less than 2k hp (lvl 18 full build) that is isnt an ADC

Answer: In other RPG titles, which includes mmos, mages get the magic bulk.

In this game, tanks get both, and mages are usually lacking in dps.

Good thing this is a MOBA

Physics works a little bit differently in Runeterra.

Guns in Call of Duty kill in a couple hits. Should MF and Lucian do that, too? Knives kill in one hit, so Rengar should, too, right? Comparing games from different genres is pointless.

Then Mage should hit everything in summoner's rift by just blasting the rift with a giant meteor killing everyone. Veigar by your logic.

No, that's your logic.

But I'm glad that you now understand why it's stupid.

You are only really able to survive as a tank by ccing the marksmen and stopping their stream of dps while mages can just drop everything on you and you cc them while they are on cooldown

And alot of tanks either do not have enough built in survivability or cc to last against marksmen...as for the items...ya the only thing marksmen arnt gonna penetrate is the unique passives like item 3143 and item 3047

You try dodging non-karthus skillshots at melee range
