The fix that tanks need this meta
I think most people could agree that if you are a tank in this meta that isn't Sion, you feel overwhelmed by damage and overall pretty useless. Maokai, Nautilus, Poppy and Shen all feel weak and useless compared to their former glory (or wet noodles fights take your pick). Regardless, these tanks were all nerfed to oblivion and Poppy is really only considered situational out of those other picks. With Aftershock being as good as it is, maybe it time to buff others up to its level before completely destroying it because of abusers like Lissandra and Ryze. So without further ranting, here is my proposition for giving tanks a better option to feel more effective.
First let's look at Sion, undoubtingly the best tank in the game currently. What does Sion have that other tanks don't? A passive on his W that gives health per minion slain by him and champion assist/kill. With 4 per small creep and 15 per cannon and champion KP, this means he gets a FREE ruby crystal optimally every 10 minutes. This adds up tremendously late game to the point where he doesn't need a lot of resources to be useful. He literally gets free stats by farming and...well... being a tank in teamfights.
Sooo what if we got rid of Overgrowth and made Sion W passive like our old friend Strength of the Ages keystone? I feel like putting it on a smaller rune is too cost effective and it would be too good for any champ to abuse. Tank junglers and toplaners would get free stats for farming and participating while also getting maybe some other niche items like Frozen Heart and Iceborn Gauntlet, which doesn't offer health, but gives stats and effects that tanks like to build.
If you REALLY wanted to buff tanks and fighters too, you could throw this Sion W passive on Grasp instead and get rid of the 5 HP gained per trade (So it just deals the damage and heals). This feels like overkill, but still could be an effective change. I think it would help the toplane pool for competitive play and casual without punishing people who still wants to play fighters who like offensive options Conquerer or Comet. It would honestly equal them out and give a chance for the tanks to lane and feel a whole lot less useless.
Happy weekend everyone!
TL:DR Put Sion W passive on a keystone resolve rune to buff ALL the tanks to Sion's level of play while keeping fighters the same
