If ADCs are weak... why aren’t tanks strong?

Tanks should counter the overbearing amount of mages and assassins in most games currently.

ADCs are ment to melt tanks.

No ADCs in games so why aren’t tanks op right now.

Hmm think about that for a minute :)

Because tanks dont counter assassins currenty, conqueror makes them weak vs fighters, and the overall damage is so high that tankyness is weak.

Because who do they have to protect?

Because where are they supposed to go? Bruisers with conqueror are stronger than them in lane and currently scale better than them too because of it. And they cant duel or clear fast in the jungle where it's all about the scuttle crab.

Dmg ramps up much faster and harder than defense. Runes provide much less defensive options than defensive. Resolve has 2!!! TWO!II! 二!Runes that actually defending you vs something. One of which does almost nothing for tanks in somewhat prolonged fight. (bone plating. 120 dmg blocked total at lvl 18? sounds almost like a joke) Well there is a third one. Overgrowth. But its a noob trap or something similar. Its clearly is a LOT weaker than ANY offensive rune.

Also there is Conqueror + absolutely zero reason to pick tanks in the first place. Its much easier to just oneshot someone than do something else.

Because assassins do enough damage to kill tanks because they keep buffing damage and lowering resistances.

I play tank Pyke check my match history:

item 3075 item 3110 item 3742 And Yasuo could still 3 hit me. It's pretty disgusting.

1: item 3147 item 3142 item 3071 item 3036 , Good luck buying armor vs that.

2: So much mobility that there are honestly too many carries to zone out.

3: Squishes die before you can save them half the time

4: An abundance of %HP damage.

5: Resolve tree could be a bit stronger. It's not bad imo, but it needs some love.

6: Autofill Tank players : [cass-cry]

7: Good Tank players : [sg-poppy] (Good Tank players still make it work)

because tanks are strongest when adcs are strongest

Because Bruisers can ALSO melt Tanks.

Dude don’t even count mages with the amount of mobility going around.

PICKLE RICK REEE7/18/2018, 9:48:00 AM1 votes

because fighters are OP. FIghters can really kill anything when ahead.

Meteor Driz7/18/2018, 9:12:46 PM1 votes

Because they explode in 0.5 seconds from anyone on the other team without ever getting a shot off

That's honestly one of the reasons ADCs are weak... There are no tanks to bring down, because they get fucked by bruisers.

Because MR is a stat that literally doesn't mean anything with pen being so accessible, they don't counter assassins right now because they are garbage, and bruisers just destroy them thanks to conqueror... There are other things in the game than adcs and tanks that can damage tanks, you do know this right?

Bisaknosp7/18/2018, 6:12:43 PM1 votes

because bruisers juggernauts and so on dunno what else there is can wreck tanks easily with conqueror and all the other true damage being around they can also get pretty hard to kill with steraks, ga, titanic and so on so they basically build tank and damage at the same time so they are semi tanks with adc damage

because the balance team doesnt want braindead unkillable, endless cc machines to be viable. too bad for you! you had 4 years times to play this dumb class, now fighter players have their window and you just complain.

Haha, because if you're AD and design to blow up an ADC, then you can still melt tanks with auto attacks like an ADC normally does.
