tanks die in 3 seconds max, even with full armor/hp items vs ad team, why is this still a thing?

how is this still a thing?, if I lose damage because of tankie items, I should not be blown apart by Yasuo+Xin late game. I was full hp/armor and xin did 1k damage with AA (before we count skills damage), ofc he had Sated Devourer, without it Xin is a dead champion.

what's the point of playing a tank if every defensive item in this game gives you maybe 0.5 second to stay alive.

Yasuo and xin are not vayne, yet Yasuo with his armor pan skill just needs blade of the ruin king and he has everything he needs to beat a tank in seconds. it's really starting to bug me how tanks are melted, if I go full tank build the least I should be able to do is stay alive.

in season 5 no one ignores tanks because they are hard to kill, they don't have to. it's not about "will we be able to kill this tank fast", now it's more or lose "should we waste 2 seconds to kill this tank and hope our cd are back by the time we need to fight enemy carry?"

p.s.

riot started to hand out true %hp damage like candy, what gives?

I'm sorry I don't see any recent games where you've played tank. Proof? Cause when I play tanks, which is rarely, I can get hit by everyone on their team and don't give a shit.

If you're 1v2'ing them, and the team isn't there to support... you should go 1 for 1 at best.

But if you're a 0 damage tank without inherent damage in skills, you should probably be initiating or peeling, not directly fighting

ad/mr is worthless without some hp to back it up, if it weren't then zzrot/guardian angel would be a great build

Also most tanks have hard CC, big base skill damage and %health/true damage. So you build full tank and you still do damage and disable enemies. Wow, we need to buff tanks ASAP. They can only 1x3 right now.

The problem for me, is the itemization of the tanks, almost all of them decay in late game, we need new items that improve the late game of the tanks...

What tank are you playing? I play Mundo get fed and proceed to 1v3 get a kill and walk out. team fights...what my team died? I better base and buy items.

So tanks can't have counterplay?

Last whisper is op, someone like Riven can shred armor with Black Cleaver and have 700 AD while ulting (I've seen this once)... Unless you have 10 k hp or something, you will still die from that Riven in 2 seconds.
