any idea if tank items are up for getting buffs. seems that besides galio all tanks are super weak right now even when strong and fed I feel like killing adcs once they have 3 items even sometimes 2 is a joke. it seems that you are much more rewarded to build 2 damage items and secure kills even if it means dying quickly after. a fed tank should make quick work of an adc the first 40 mins of game if there aren't peeled properly but this isn't the case currently.
MrHaZeYo3 votesThe reason everything got changed was so tanks wouldn't pound a ADC. AD mains kept crying and here we are. Tanks still serve their overall purpose though, the absorb damage and ults to give their backline time to do their job.
Pippen The Short1 votesI beg to differ, a tank should not be able to make "quick work" of an adc in the first "40 minutes". Until an ADC hits 4 items, yeah a snowballing tank should be able to effectively kill an ADC. But an ADC with a core item, boots, zeal item, and one of the LW items should be able to beat up on a tank with some good kiting/dodging of skills.
An adc, as a DPS and sustain champion, should very easily be able to kill a tank at full build.

if a 2 item adc is left alone to face a 2.5 item tank which should also have about a 2 level advantage from solo xp and doesn't die there is a problem. even when they are at 3 items without peel it should be close and it should come down to who out plays who. right now if a tank builds say sunfire sv or sunfire iceborn first 2 items he will lose vs adcs 1v1 which at that point in the game an adc should need peel to stop the tank from killing them. going 2 damage item first on tank is pretty mandatory in solo q if u want to have an impact and its really not ideal which is why we see mainly no tanks or 1 per team because besides galio none of them itemize well.
