Lets make tanks great again (aka zero counter play)

plus , new r buff, w into a train of cc. That's all I see in Diamond now lol. I like getting mechanically outplayed by tanks. I like how players are rewarded more for playing brain dead champs opposed to champs that require just a little bit of skill if any. Not tilted right now, I like where the meta has shifted. Makes for a fun game having three tanks on the enemy team mechanically outplay me, sorry for the vent I'm super tilted atm. kms.

1st off cho isnt classified as a tank... he is consider "unique" playstyle 2nd nasus is a juggernaut 3rd i think maokai is fine... he has cc not a lot of damage to make proper engages/disengages with ult etc is more of a skill in its self then the previous ult

havent seen the new nasus yet... seen alot of urgot today...

and CHO Is busted

At least we agree on Cho. The Nasus buff allows him to tower dive you at level 6 and destroy you with a crap ton of damage and heals not to mention how tanky he is. You can't escape him with his w and his buffed e makes him even more overpowered. I think the buffed e was a good idea to make him somewhat useful in team fights but the ult change is legit insane. If he ults and slows you, you're basically dead. And maokai is picked so often in my elo (I have bronze icon but I'm actually D5 check op.gg) and his engage plus his passive now letting him die plus item 3193 and item 3190 giving his carries a 1.5k shield is crazy. I think Maokai is the least busted out of the three champs I listed, it's just so hard now to play a jungler that's not a tank that runs locket such as Shyvana and do as well (I just used Maokai as an example because I always see him in the jungle when I ban Cho). I just currently don't like the jungle meta since it's mostly tanks and I was frustrated when making this post.

well i did say i havent seen nasus after rework yet...

and i might be bias on maokai 700 or so games on him since season 5 79-62 this season for a 56% win rate ( since i started playing him season 5 im about 58-59% win rate) and in last 20 games on him 63% win rate

i dont hardly ever get gargoyle plate on tree... i do get locket if im support tree top lane i play him a slightly tankier ap bruiser bout a month a go i had a game with slightly over 80k in damage to champs http://imgur.com/oyva7wa

i beat my personal record of 75K damage with maokai lol

wp I respect you as a 1 trick since I was once a 1 trick zilean. I think ww is still strong however I don't think he's as good as the last few patches. He was really good because he countered a lot of the meta junglers however ever since item 1409 (cinder) got buffed and tanks have been taking over the jungle as carry junglers got nerfed, ww probably isn't top tier anymore. I still think he's viable and high tier just not as strong as the top tier junglers currently Maokai , Chogath , Sejuani , ect.

i think the buffs to cinderhulk can help ww, and his immunity on Q to their cc could make it where he still gets to target... his sustain and damage reduction if dueling tanks makes him nearly as durable but higher damage output . plus if you dont wanna go titantic hydra into cinderhulk ( most common on WW ) blood razor bork rageblade might be worth a try ( old devour meta build ) cuz of his mix damage sustain % hp damage how fast he could apply stacks and so on... just thoughts

Now that I think about it ww is probibly getting stronger. Just for some strange reason I don't see him as often as the other junglers. Top 9 champs on champion.gg for jg are fat tanks so I guess you're right I see your point of view. Just haven't seen him recently so I figured he's weaker. I thought since the champs he counters are out of the meta he would be weaker but looking at the stats apparently I'm wrong he's still top 5.

I'ma D5 trash can, I'm not proud of that rank :( and just cause you're diamond doesn't mean you're good. You're only good if you make it to masters I currently suck xd

boost me to bronze? lol

JivewolfJul 27, 20171 votes

Legit as long as you know how to build in the correct matchups and know when to do what (shotcalling/take objectives) you should be able to make it to gold with average mechanical skills. I have over 300 games tho currently this season so I suppose grinding is the only way to get better. I'm sure you're better than bronze anyhow xd :)

thoughts on warwick jungle ?

EschetonJul 27, 20171 votes

Tanks have been pushed out of the Jungle all year. With early game fast clear champs dominating the meta since day 1. Finally tanks are a thing in the jungle again and immediately everyone complains about it. The hell is going on?

Good point

JivewolfJul 27, 20171 votes

I just am frutrated when Cho uses RG and f on me and 1 shots me when I'm full hp. At least with assassines I had a lulu that could protect me, now I deal no damage to Cho and he still 1 shots me with Cho.
