So tanks can officially be tanks again, but what about Vayne and Fiora?

I'm not even a tank main, but I'd be really pissed if I lost a game because my Jinx, and Tryndamere were effectively itemized against, fairly, of course, but the enemy Fiora Vayne combo just destroyed the game because they're the only ones in the game that my frontline can't itemize against with their % true damage, and will melt my front line way faster than my Jinx and Trynda, who I thought were also late game carries...

Please either change how % hp damage works, or add an item specifically made for dealing with it, like you did with DOT/DPS mages, maybe with an active that grants a temporary shield that absorbs the % HP damage for a short time. I know true damage should never be mitigated, and if that's the case just rework it a bit so there's some kind of way around it. Cause honestly, now that no one can melt tanks anymore, I don't wanna see 2 or 3 champions dominate the meta because they still melt them fast as hell, while other hyper-carries can get itemized against.

True damage is suppose to counter tanks and shielding damage does counter true damage so I'm not sure what the issue is. Also a very small portion of their damage is actually true damage while the rest is actually physical damage. With most health values going down and armor going up those champions are actually going to become less effective.

The counterplay to those two would be to hold them down long enough for your teammates to all in and kill them. Beyond that they should be ok with being tank busters (though I do hate whenever Vayne is meta).

The thing is Vayne should never be meta and a blind pick. Remember awhile ago when she was terrorizing everyone with the bf + shiv build? Oh god

Vayne and Fiora have always dominated tanks. They are meant to. Black Cleaver and Last Whisper are great items for Trynda, and Last Whisper for Jinx and she will still melt tanks easily.Honestly the Last Whisper is needed even currently by all but Vayne if they want to beat tanks easy. That and they need life steal.

If the ADC is unable to kill a Tank semi easily, then kill the enemy adc and ignore the tank. If they can not kill the enemy team in general because of armor, the enemy team is.......

A) fed. B) Way ahead. C) Against an ADC that thinks that armor is a fasion statement rather than a stat that reduces physical damage.

"Oh man, I'm a tank and I don't get to make EVERY AD CHAMP IN THE GAME IRRELEVANT. Shit, we gotta balance that into the game..."
