I hope they remove sunfire cape from the game and heavily nerf tabi with the tank update.

HUEHUEHUEHUEHUE.

He was tanking the towers AND their team.

Or you didnt see the 3 item varus doing 50 damage per aa? lmao

RalanrFeb 20, 20173 votes

Considering all the heals and shields that was happening, Varus was never going to really hurt Naut.

i have been saying. stack armor. it beats lethality so hard it isnt funny.

EndlessSorcererFeb 20, 20173 votes

Armor beats Lethality alone.

Lethality + Black Cleaver + Lord Dominik's Regards is a different matter.

RalanrFeb 20, 20171 votes

Thankfully the BC part is getting changed so marksmen are less likely to want it.

Automated RivenFeb 20, 20172 votes

no it doesnt. Best case senario a champion with item 3071 { item 3036 item 3814 item 3147 item 3142 vs a champ with item 3742 item 3068 item 3047 item 3143 item 3110 item 3075 is gonna be like a 450 ad champ hitting a champ with 150 armor. this alone means that their autos will do something like 200 and thornmail will do half that back before you even consider what the tank is gonna do to them. it would take at least 3 lethality stackers to take one down in a reasonable amount of time. The reason adc used to build crit attack speed and ad is because if you combined it you can out scale the tank stats. with just penetration you get out scaled.

YumaS2AstralFeb 20, 20172 votes

You are talking as if the AD champ is going to just auto instead of also casting spells.

Also, a tank that is building just armor will easily die to a mage.

Automated RivenFeb 21, 20171 votes

yes they are gonna cast spells. but those spells are going to suffer the same problem that the aa's will. also yes the weakness in this build is magic damage but people have been complaining about games where every god damn champion is building lethality. if 1 person chooses a tank where the other team is riven khazix jayce varus /support the way to win the game is going pure armor not trying to counter it with quinn rengar talon jhin /support.

EndlessSorcererFeb 20, 20173 votes

You mean the Varus without any percentage penetration, attack speed or crit chance?

Shocker.

Shocker.

But this forum is spamming that tanks die in .5s seconds and that lethality is beyond broken and 1 shots tanks.

RalanrFeb 20, 20172 votes

No one is saying that, let alone spamming it.

MagicFlyingLlamaFeb 20, 20171 votes

Yes, they are. Constantly.

RalanrFeb 20, 20171 votes

Care to give some examples of people complaining how lethality alone is one shoting tanks?

Automated RivenFeb 20, 20172 votes

this is my point. You have to have attack speed and crit to deal with a tank like that. it just wont do anything if you only build penetration.

MagicFlyingLlamaFeb 20, 20173 votes

Turrets dont have lethality or last whisper.

Where is your god now?

EndlessSorcererFeb 20, 20171 votes

Maokai is the God Tree.

Though. that is because his main sources of durability (passive's sustain, ultimate's damage reduction, W's untargetability) aren't affected by penetration.

AhristocatsFeb 20, 20173 votes

and ignore all those shields and healing :^)

rexsaur LUL should have been the title

Edge of DaybreakFeb 20, 20172 votes

Naut pressed W that's another 3 shots blocked! I think shields alone let him tank over 10 shots. But tanks are weak and need buffs.

Handy Sandy Feb 20, 20171 votes

I've never seen any other tank besides someone like Galio/Amumu do this.

VvVVvVFeb 20, 20171 votes

Yeah i did something like that in a game earlier today with Galio...but it was only like 16 shots...he got healed by remdemption so that helped plus his shield is strong.
