Why has Riot allowed this?

Why have you allowed a meta where you can build straight tank, yet deal more than a adc? Perfect example.

Ornn.

He builds no damage. Nothing. Yet deals so much damage he can three shot a lesser tank. Like Thresh.

I miss the meta that made sense.

Tanks = Holy shit I can't kill this bastard, but at least he doesn't do damage. Marksmen = Holy shit you deal a ton, but at least you aren't tanky. Assassins = Get in, mess 'em up, get out; cc screws me harder than Riot Games to my wallet when they release a new Ultimate Skin. Mages = Holy shit you deal a ton, but at least you aren't too tanky. Supports = Healer? Build a item 3123! Tank? Welp no damage from him! Mage? Gotta love that item 3140!

Now it's useless. Ornn, CC out the ass. Tanky as hell and deals more in a game than my fed Marksmen. Building full tank shred doesn't even help anymore. It's awful dealing with something that you can't build or play against. There lacks a balance anymore. It feels like unless you are a one shot mage, AD Burst, or tank you aren't of value anymore.

I feel like the nerf to the healing supports really broke it too.

Soraka, Janna, Sona. They are so easily countered now that they lack any value anymore. The enemy builds one item and we become useless.

The items we were given gave us a chance to still have some use beyond warding and clearing after that item was built. Sure not as strong, but still it was bearable.

I truly would like an answer. From a legitimate Riot member. Why? What is the purpose of making champs this way?

Tanks needed damage, otherwise theres no reason for the adc to kite, ornn however is a poor example, as hes in a tier all of his own, hes a case of riot overbuffing a champion, he was already incredibly strong on release, then they buffed his damage and made his ult easier to hit, now hes fucking op, like, even the word tank means damage, what do military tanks do, they hit with an incredible amount of power and are heavily armoured, the thing is, their slow moving, which most tanks in league are, but point is, dont ask for tanks to do reduced dmg, mao and co are fine, ornn is overtuned though due to his lack of a real passive, so dont compare him to other tanks

Ornn is an useless non-champion. He has 46% win rate on top lane a lane that has 0 influence on the outcome of the game. So having such a shitty win rate in a non-factor lane means he's trash.

Were you here for Season2's "meta golem" meta?

Boy, that was the REAL tank meta there (though by that I mean both tanks and bruisers, given they both abused the "meta golem" builds quite hard). The current stuff ain't holding a candle up to that.

It is true that tanks are overbuffed compared to bruisers. But overbuffed in the grand scheme of things? Nah. I don't agree tbh.
