How to fix our broken tank meta/assassin gone tank issue

This is my third forum post and probably won't be organized, this is just a little food for thought about how we should fix these issues. My idea is that armor is actually derived from an exponential function, like (1.5)^(amount of armor/100) which allows it so that one armor end up being a "Defense ratio" of 1, all the way to a ratio of about 6 realistically, which would represent the amount of damage blocked from ad attacks. This should also work on AP and AD to make it more rewarding to not just buy a few armor items and still be nearly unkillable, and will make the game most more polarized in going either ad or ap. Many of you will think about "what about hybrid champs like jax or akali or kayle?" I think that each champ should have a different equation (hybrid champs could have a 1.7 instead of 1.5 on AP and AD in order to make it fair to them. I think this is the best solution to fixing our tank meta and encouraging assassins. Tell me what you think! This was made very quickly because I have an actual paper to write.

not sure what you are saying but 6 damage blocked from late game ad is nothing. also the armor and mr system is very good, 100 of it increases your effective health vs that type of damage by 100%

It would be a ratio fo some kind, 6 would be something like 60 percent of ad damage blcoked for example (probably more if oyu dedicated around 450 armor but ya know what I mean)

When tanks build full defense but everyone people complains about is building bruiser and still bad unless they catch stray squishies

  1. This is nothing like a tank meta.
  2. You have never played in a real assassin meta like season 3 where it was Zed/Talon/Kha'Zix only every game.

this would literally solve nothing about assassins building bruiser.

it would just make resistances overall weaker and adc almost as tanky as tanks, since the first 100 base resistance points would actually do something, and building 100 more practically nothing.

Can some one explain to me how ASSASSINS building defense makes a tank meta even though that only happens once every 5 games or less often. No wonder people saying tanks do enough damage to beat adcs with all the mobility and cc one or the other adcs in this game have they talking about assassins who can build anything and still be good because they ahve high base damages and high scaleing damage with the lowest avg cooldown of skills shareing with the class mages.
