Can you crybabies stop pretending like it's a tank meta

Cause it last one fkin patch, one fkin item and most importantly it's damage buff. Let me clarify this. Damage is good, it definitely helps you survive and win laning phase, but it doesn't help you survive Brand +Dianna longer than 2 seconds and they don't even need to throw their ultimates on you to kill you fast.

Almost everyone now plays mobile champ in soloqueue who can show his mechanics by dashing trough everything with nonexistent cooldowns while dealing most damage in the game because their mobility is their weakness, so the question is...

How can Sion protect his carries from Fizz, and Ekko (for an example) in the same team? If he doesn't engage on them (and they can easily use one of their gapclosers to dodge) your adc is screwed.

Can't believe that fed Zed made a post on this boards how he was fed and couldn't kill Sion 1v1. Wait amigo... you are not supposed to kill Sion 1v1 (even if riot did everything at the start of preseason to give assassins tools to fight tanks late game) but you are playing champion who can pretty much ignore everything of Sion's spells and delete whole backline with not much counterplay for them cause you were fed, right?

Tanks will never be meta until damage creep and mobility creep exists. You can simply ignore them with your favorite soloqueue champions, destroy backline, then group and kill tank within 1 sec (Ornn excluded, he wins teamfights by himself)

But my favorite part here on boards is "meH BruISerS aRe WeAk, AlSo I wAtCH Hashinshin" so they get 4 buffed items by 50% efficency each. And that's because tanks got damage buff. So now because of DD changes bruisers/fighters w/e will destroy mages while they still rekt tanks 4 seasons after. XD

This company is even more pathetic. This words came for Trynda main, and personally, I really don't want this Botrk, DD and Hydra changes, cause Trynda will be one of best abusers and his playrate and banrate will raise, but every tank needs Ornn's or Fizz's passive to be viable so you don't have to compensate damage buffs to them.

Games are pretty much assassin vs assassin, or mobile champion vs mobile champion with 8 spectators aka supports to the person who took all the kills and cs because he is Faker and will do 1v9 (Irelia and Yasuo players mostly} and that won't change with bami cinder or DD buffs, you need to limit mobility, damage in the same kit and not to give free cooldown to every 2nd item or rune, so that may fix the problem and make other classes great again.

tank meta = tanks doing dmg while being tanky.

Not saying we are in tank meta, just what it meant in past(few outliners exist thats all).

Also you seem to measure how strong assassins are just by what they do while being fed.

well, we'll know it's an actual tank meta when Riot tries to increase bonus HP as well

Damage is one thing; Really durable WITH damage is another

well , actually tanks can tank AD to be honnest , but AP dammage !! xD XD XD ( no comment ) you can tank a Mage untile he get his third item , then good luck . iv got an autofiled support who cried in champ select then picked brand first time , guess what ? he was the most dammage with a score of 7-18 and that was with an ennemy team who have sejuani + mundo and nautilus x) . even with that score and even if he was playing like potato , he was clearly the most impactfull one because why not ? he can R then die and deal 34353543K dammage .

It is a tank meta unfortunately. Thanks for the post.

Bami buffs don't make it a tank meta... Chill.

'Damage is good, it definitely helps you survive' that statement makes 0 sense....

although on the other hand, it isn't a tank meta. In a prime tank meta you wouldn't ever kill the enemy teams tank, but tanks are now just meant to do damage rather than tank because their trying to push damage into every role for some unknown reason.

Its not a tank meta yet, but its quite close.

Wait amigo... you are not supposed to kill Sion 1v1 (even if riot did everything at the start of preseason to give assassins tools to fight tanks late game) but you are playing champion who can pretty much ignore everything of Sion's spells and delete whole backline with not much counterplay for them cause you were fed, right?

Same can be said in reverse. Sion can't kill Zed 1v1(he will just escape), but he can ignore Zed and engage in enemy backline, who have to either focus Sion(not a good choice unless they have a specifically anti-tank damage dealer), back away or ignore Sion and try to focus his allies(eating his CC and damage). Sure, ignored Zed can kill much faster, but he is also easier to deal with, well-timed CC and he is dead.

But my favorite part here on boards is "meH BruISerS aRe WeAk, AlSo I wAtCH Hashinshin" so they get 5 buffed items by 50% efficency each. And that's because tanks got damage buff. XD

I believe both those changes AND sunfire buff are a set of toplane buffs, melee toplaners specifically. Tanks got more damage, Titanic Hydra users got more damage, Ravenous Hydra users got more lifesteal, Botrk users got more damage. Its not specifically a bruiser buff(Ravenous/Botrk bruisers? really?).
