man nothing sucks more than when a yi just comes up and is able to burn you down before you can run to tower. or a garens ult does 1/3rd of your hp even though your built full tank. there should be more items for tanks to help them reach the appropiate amount of tank to stop these kinds of champs. either get creative by adding tank items that after being hit 3 times the attacker is stunned or frozen or knockedback so far. or perhaps more tank items that offer both AR and MR, so that instead of having to split your defences. you can have both, to counteract the rageblades and other items that allow them to deal both types of damage.

likewise i would like to see more AP tank items. so that i can have an AP equivalent of a juggernaut. so i can be be able to 2-3 shot anyone, and still require 100 hits to take down, with vlad, or maokai, or build AP/bruiser kassadins, etc. having 4k hp 2-300 armor/mr and still have 600ap. why do you have to be prejudice against AP? why do AD get all the good stuff?

LOL so you wanna be even worse than the master yi / garen ulti. you wanna 2-3 shot anyone, and also be immortal. Lmfao that's really funny.

The thing about tank items and damage items, is the playerbase will NEVER be happy. even when things are as balanced as they have ever been. grrr i wish i could kill this tank faster. qq qq qq -riots answers by buffing tanks-.... oh wtf riot? i'm building pure tank and im getting destoryed qq please buff tank items.... riot reponds by buffing tank items....and well... its a Paradox. one without a solution simply because DPS wanna kill everything and Tanks wanna tank everything. There will always be a huuuge group of people not happy with the current meta, even if everything is balanced.

Rather it be a tank meta, dps meta, mage meta, poke meta, early game meta, late game meta, troll meta, mid game meta, melee champion meta... no matter the state of the game, there will always be that group of the community that cries about it lol.

If Garen's ult did a third of your HP, that's one of your carries who didn't take a third of his HP.

building full tank and going on a killing spree to become the villain. how do you even manage that? unless youre playing another jugg, but then youre not playing a tank.

pretty sure its mathematically impossible to deal 1/3 of his health in damage with a garen ult, when hes building full tank.

unless he builds no health and only stacks resistances, and is somehow the villain.

ok, first of all morde is pretty much an ap scaling juggernaut. his builds usually only involve very few ad items

second, the difference between a jugg and fucking kassadin is, that they cant flash on a 3 second cooldown. unless you want to add that to garens and darius kit, which i would be fine with.

vlad DOES have health scaling damage in his kit and scales overall strong with health. there are a load of items for him, but his range and sustain makes it difficult to give him more options. however he already does get damage from building health and health from building damage.

maokai is built to peel, and protect. this makes him an actual tank. he deals a fair bit of damage, but doesnt deal more because he trades in damage for utility.
