And soon the Mage update. So when are the Tank, fighter, and assassin updates coming out?
Because right now, two of those classes tend to use juggernaut items pretty often as opposed to items more designed for them.
Because we know that tanks, will sometimes not feel as impactful as they may want to be.
And most fighters are just straight up outclassed by fiora and GP.
Simply wondering, Kasfas.
Calabok1 votesAssassin doesn't need update, they're already OP
kasfas1 votesUpdate doesn't mean buff, it means make more Whole as a Class of champions.
BeatzBoyFTW1 votesTanks meta was last years.
Sachabot1 votesOh, yeah. Forgot to say.
Assassin is the next class rework. Probably next year.
TehNACHO1 votesThe Juggernaut update is actually part 1 of the trilogy that Riot promised a looooooong time ago, in a galaxy far far away.
On a more serious note, the original Fighter Update was broken up into three parts: Juggernauts, Dive Fighters, and Light Fighters. Technically that means the Fighter update already happened, technically that means we have two Fighter updates on schedule not just one, just take it however you see fit.
The Juggernaut update was patch 5.16 and the Marksman update was patch 5.22. Mage update may be around patch 5.4 or so, and the next update after that 5.10.
Of course, the team appears to be taking their time with the Mage update so it may come around much later than 5.4, but it wouldn't be hard to imagine that we can squeeze at least 2 or 3 other class updates through this season unless the team decides to intentionally slow down.
The Loveless1 votesI don't think a lot of people realize how good tanks can be. It's just that some tanks don't deliver enough constant cc (or other relevant utility). Sejuani for example is pretty much a walking ult. If she didn't have ult and she goes in with Q, woopdy doo. Her slow isn't that great, and her damage isn't that great from that point on either. Only the squishiest/underleveled target with no equal amount of items should worry about her jumping on them.
But on the bright side, I can pick mumu, Malp, Naut, etc. and buy things like sunfire, iceborn gauntlet and thornmail to deal incredible sustained damage and not die when everyone focuses me that instant. There should be better MR items for tanks that aren't purely selfish defense (BV and SV are great if you buy them back to back, but don't help you 1v1 APs like the previously mentioned armor items can help you 1v1 ADs). Iceborn Gauntlet is just a superb item at the moment. I finally feel like I can stop Rengar from snowballing when I can build a damage-dealing-defender.
Again, TANKS need better MR items - or Riot will maybe introduce a line of AP Bruiser items like that reworked Abyssal Scepter from not long ago. We don't need to have 30 second fights from champs being too tanky, and in the end, the victor of a fight should come down to the most skilled and intelligent player(s).
