Issues with the Current Tank Meta

iLymerick·Aug 22, 2016·2 votes·544 views

I cannot enter a game with several tanks and expect them to not deal damage anymore. Sure the support tanks are not a threat, but when you have champions like Shen, Irelia, Poppy, Ekko (even though Riot supposedly fixed him to go back to full ap), Yasuo (under the right conditions and sporting certain items), etc., you can bet your behinds that you are in for a CharlieFoxtrot. The tank meta either needs to go under some serious maintenance, or I'm going to be sitting out the rest of Season 6 and possibly Season 7 if I keep getting games where tanks can solo a any champion simply because they have items, abilities, or stats that allow them to do so.

I just love everyday seeing two posts. The first being about how we're in a tank meta and everybody hates it and the second being everybody complaining that armor means nothing anymore and tanks have no surviveability.

Two sides to one coin, but I guess nobody can get Riot to change either one.

It would make sense if ADC damage is off the charts. Tanks get eaten by ADC's but destroy everyone else. Personally I prefer the over tuned ADC's because at least they can fucking DIE.

well, if you think about it theyre not mututally exclusive.

the mistake with the entire assumption of a "tank meta" is that it has nothing to do with tanks, but carries and assassins running damage/defense bruiser builds.

on the other hand actual tanks who stack large amount of resistances and run real tank builds and dont build item 3027 item 3116 item 3001 item 3068 with like 1 or 2 pure defensive items feel like they still blow up nearly as fast as if they built ap bruiser.
