Then you get to see tanks be able to tank without being able to burst, items not negate other items entirely, and then simply balance the flat ap/ad values of items to allow tanks to be killable without blowing up instantly.
I really don't understand why we keep ending up with tanks that do too much damage, or tanks that can't tank a butterfly, simply because of broken passive item/champion stats.
I use sion, get about 300 armor an bout 400ad with like 6-8k hp an am untouchable even in 1v4s
Agreed on your point for sure- its tends to be such a dichotomy of OP or useless in most cases. What are your thoughts on the usefulness of tank items for non-tanks? I played a lot until early season 5 so am definitely speaking from those days as a point of reference. Back I often played Bard as more of an offtank, forsaking damage/healing in order to play a little more aggro and get better stun angles, etc. Now if you're not a tank building those kind of items seems to have minimal effect on survivability. It's almost like Riot is giving the finger to people who don't like burst damage.
