Mobility creep, damage creep...

...but no armor/resistance creep, aka. tank creep, eh?

Something's very wrong when a Sejuani with around 600 armor and 2k health can die in exactly 1.21s to a Lucian and two other friends while Lucian's being ganked by the entire team. This thread isn't about Lucian, but why in hell are ADCs, assassins all getting massive buffs and safety features by comparison to tanks which get almost nothing? I'm actually at this point seeing people treat Top like Mid; All APCs and ADCs welcome, but tanks not allowed.

And why might this be...? ...and how might we fix it... Start at the new runes and bring them up to par with offensive runes. Double their power, although even then they may still be useless. Second of all, needs to just go away at this point, when an ADC can hit an upwards of 1k AD due to the scaling runes; ADCs have ways to mitigate armor ( ) and still do plenty of damage anyway if the enemy stacks it, so lethality items cannot exist with APen% in this current situation. Currently it's just ADCs that scale because of their skillset, that scale because of armor penetration, that scale because of lethality, that scale even more because of vast quantities of AD.

Or, inversely, since this is about the tanks and not the things that make them useless, why not... I don't know, include some flat% damage resistance in their kits, or create a cheap, efficient item that gives flat damage mitigation dependent on your current armor/resist? Or, better yet, rework armor/MR scaling, although that one takes more effort than the last.

All I know is that 600 armor and 2k health should be more than enough to not flop over dead before my Sejuani passive even expires.
