Tell me one reason why these items don't deserve buffs when all tanks are inevitably nerfed:

Just food for thought for Season 12 I guess.

But when tanks tank where are all the cool epic insane oneshot outplays?

Do you really wanna see a mundo walking around with buffed tank items? Because I don't.

Yes because you kite him around, CC him and outplay him. What do you do to a Rengar or a KhaZix? Spam sad emote as you see them jumping on you and literally deleting you in miliseconds.

At the most I'd give those items Armor/health buffs.

The passives/actives on those items are in a ok spot and should not be buffed.

But if they buff Tank items, they should not nerf anti tank items.

Buffing Tank itemization and nerfing anti tank itemization will force a tank meta again.

Yeah, just number buffs were what I was thinking as well. And nerfing anti-tank items as well would indeed bring back tank/bruiser meta but I definitely don't see Riot nerfing any form of damage anytime soon LUL

This is a core problem with the game. Thats Riots been skirting around to 2 seasons

Phreak mentioned that in his 9.1 rundown.

They're trying to address it by adding large disparities in base stats, so you can't just build Ekko as a tank and end up just as tanky as a Maokai with the same items.

Or how gross and disgusting Maokai is meanwhile don't be a squishy that gets a face full of instagibb bushsaplings

I'd rather face a full tank Maokai than a full tank Ekko or Fizz.

Agreed - this never had anything to do with tank items themselves. Some of which have been deleted by the way...

Randuins, Spirit Visage, Adaptive, Warmogs and Zz’Rot are fine right now.

Deadmans could use a minor price reduction, that’s it.

Sunfire is being looked into for buffs and Thornmail needs to not overlap with Randuins (Cold Steel passive). Either make them stack multiplicatively or give Thornmail something other than Cold Steel.

I think Thornmail ignoring damage equal to the reflect amount would be better. It’s supposed to be an anti-on-hit item so flat damage reduction would be perfect for it (25 +10% bonus Armor).

FCJAAAAGOOOOJan 14, 20191 votes

Oh hey, they're buffing Sunfire. Woohoo!

One down, seven to go and they really should add a couple viable tank items or resistance+damage items to the game. Only eight actual tank items is a measly amount. Sterak's and Stoneplate don't count because one is always built alongside BC and the other is extremely situational, and that everyone that isn't a recently buffed tank needs to buy one to ever take hits is sickening.

JUST REDUCE THE AMOUNTS OF TRUE AND ADAPTIVE DAMAGE IN THE GAME. SERIOUSLY WHY IS ELECTRO/HARVEST/COMET not straight up magic damage? Why is there an AP ratio AND an AP ratio in EVERY RUNE? Runes ain't supposed to scale, they are meant to take you through the early game. MR itemization is sufficient at the moment in my eyes but ARMOR needs a lot of work, Same with HP. Tenacity too needs a rework but riot keeps going around that by introducing a million displacements and knockups
