Riot's handling of tanks in general dug themselve a deep hole about their use of "counterplay" term

We look at the balance changes that had to happen to tanks these past patches after the tank update. So many have forced changes specifically to their damage output because they were competing with carry champs for damage output while being inherently tanky and building full tank. Galio was the nail in the coffin about being allowed to hide behind the excuse of considering counterplay.

Now lets segway to evelynn, who has very distinct issues that riot is refusing to address behind the excuse that the counterplay wouldn't be there.

I remember Gragas's W and Sejuani's W were both specifically tuned down to do less %Max HP damage because they were doing "too much". They were nerfed, even though that damage could have been converted into a scaling bonus.

And yet, something like this happens. 50% Max HP damage just for building the way a mage is supposed to.
