im sorry did u miss sunfire iceborn meta just a while ago? did you miss tanks playing like someone broke their hands with a bat and still winning purely because their base damages do more than your full damage? tank meta is the least skillful meta, because it allows monkeys to play tanks and win regardless of their skill level
Ralanr9 votesWhy are tanks less skillful to play?
Van Herrington1 votesbecause your mistakes mean SO much less than ANY other class of champion.
Cremepie1 votesYes because not landing one cc before getting blow up by the insane amount of free damage in this game right now doesn't mean anything. #thinkszedrequiresskill
/s
Ralanr5 votesA wrong engage can throw a game. Slow reactions can mean our carry dies before we can peel them. Picking the wrong target to save or CC can mean a TPK. Splitting off from our carries means they're open to get killed.
Our mistakes are on the level of supports. If we fuck up, the whole team pays dearly for it.
MisterShameless1 votesWith a good engage from your tank and a good follow from a support can win you a losing game.
Although wasting that time you had by chasing the tank isn't the best idea because you didn't take advantage of taking objectives.

Hey the truth is harsh blame it on Riot
Only Tanks which require decent ammount of skill are zac gragas and ekko
Ralanr2 votesEkko isn't a fucking tank you sack of shit.
I'm normally nice, but I've lost my patience with tank Ekko.
EndlessSorcerer2 votesEh, Ekko can be considered a tank if he builds for it; without damage items, his main source of threat is his CC rather than his damage.
He's probably the only assassin that this is true for though.
Ralanr1 votesPlease don't encourage it. He gives actual tanks a bad reputation and I'm starting to get sick of it.
EndlessSorcerer2 votesI'm not necessarily encouraging it. I'm not really a fan of playing with or against tank Ekko either; he's a pain in the ass.
However, I do believe that if he builds primarily defensive items, he has enough CC and utility to be classified as a tank.

While I disagree with this statement on general principle, I will admit that I'm happy that you managed to name actual tanks.
The number of times I've seen people complaining about tanks list Garen, Volibear, Dr. Mundo and Darius as examples is saddening.
Ralanr1 votesIsn't Gragas a Mage/fighter?
EndlessSorcerer1 votesI'd consider him closer to a Tank/Mage than a Mage/Fighter due to the sheer amount of CC he provides.
IMO, fighters are threats primarily due to their damage while tanks are primarily threats due to their CC/utility.
Ralanr1 votesI'll give you that. The amount of CC he has does make him close if not a tank.
Ekko...I don't like encouraging it.

Those are all tanks... unless your one of the people who uses the term juggernaut.
Ralanr2 votesPeople like Riot?
EndlessSorcerer3 votesConsidering Juggernaut is the official terminology supported by Riot, I do.
Even if Riot didn't use Juggernaut, those champions would still be fighters rather than tanks.
Fighters are primarily a threat due to their damage while tanks are primarily a threat due to their CC/utility.

I just don't use the term Juggernaut as I find it easier to consider something either a tank or a fighter. Just miscommunication there.
Next, I don't know what you build on Voli and Mundo but most of the time I see full tank on both of them. No way I could see either of those either being considered fighters. Garen and Darius I understand though since most people rush BC.
EndlessSorcerer4 votesThe difference between tanks and fighters isn't necessarily decided by their build. The primary difference, in my opinion, is how they threaten the enemy team.
Mundo and Volibear may build full tank, but they threaten the enemy team by their damage. If you leave them alone, they will kill your allies around you. This is why they are considered fighters.
Maokai and Sejuani, for comparison, also generally build near full-tank. While they deal a good amount of damage, they are primarily threats due to their utility and CC. If you leave them alone, they will lock down your team and enable their allies to kill you. This is why they are considered tanks.

I see where you're coming from. I guess this is why Riot came up with the term Juggernaut xD.
Jbels9 votesI'd love to see you say tanks take no skill and then play Sion for your first time. Go ahead. I dare you.
Van Herrington1 votesLol ur fuckin silver 4 i can play any champion you main better than you on the first try

Obv bait since your level 9 lmfao
Van Herrington1 votesthe account AetherKingdom is my smurf. check it if you want (:
Zach Sandwhich2 votesthe account AetherKingdom is my smurf. check it if you want (:
Then post from there instead of from a lvl 9 account to complain about you not liking tanks so people don't think its a bait thread. People generally take it a bit more serious from someone who isn't lvl 9.
Ralanr2 votesAnd when it's not a smurf. At least then you showcase you're not hiding anything.
Van Herrington1 votes3 of my accounts are banned from boards (^:
Ralanr4 votesCan't imagine why.
Ralanr5 votesI'm still curious as to why people think tanks are the easiest or least skillful based class. Skill isn't a level system were more skill makes you inherently better at something different.
An airline pilot can't do the same job as a police officer and vice versa.
Van Herrington1 votesan airline pilot can't be a police officer but he can probably be a mall cop, which is akin to a tank
