Tanks?

SaraLee··6 votes·504 views

So I and a lot of other players in the game feels that tanks are too overbuffed in this game when it comes to items and I feel that this is an issue. The inevitable point in which tanks are too fucking tanky that an adc that can't dish out consistent true damage, like vayne, struggle against them. Tank items are much cheaper than adc items and mage items. Does anyone feel the struggle going against 2-3 tanks in a game of aram/rift? You can't do damage to them without them going all up against your face only to kill you before you get in those last few spells/autos, and it's extremely frustrating. Not only that, the point in which they scale up is uncanny to adc's or mages. even if a tank feeds, give him enough time and farm, he'll be doing a tremendous amount of damage while still tanking through a stormy team fight no matter what when compared to mages or adcs who, if unable to keep up with the game and scale, they don't do damage. There's a lot of holes in this paragraph but this has just been my experience in the game, riot hasn't done anything to fix this, tanks should be tanks but the tools riot gave up hasn't done much to help, void staff and last whisper can only do so much when the tank is chunking away health and you're only chipping their's away.

So bottom line here is, either nerf the tank items or give the squishies other items to combat against tanks better.

Tanks are inherently gold efficient. You guys always forget item 3035 item 3036 item 3153 . I know you mentioned last whisper but its only a component item now. You are completely wrong on ADC's not being able to deal damage. I had a sivir go 0/9/0 in laning phase. She farmed up 300Cs and bot her core items. She was shredding us in the next teamfight. ADCs almost always deal the post damage in a game, unless they are a total potato.

I've never seen a late game Vayne struggle to kill a tank. Been playing since season 2 and haven't seen it even once. Even back when Mundo could stack Warmogs (and Botrk didn't exist) Vayne and Tristana could kill him in seconds.

If you're talking about early/mid game that's when both bruisers and tanks are supposed to shine damage-wise.

This so much this. Their my most hated class. They are nothing more than a massive free win. the amount of damage they do is bullshit. I seen way to many examples in teams when a whole team has like 3 or more.

Please.. please do something about this riot. They should be doing only half the amount they do.
