Riot, if you only have one takeaway from this season, please let it be this

Playing without tanks fucking sucks. I get that the edgelords all need to have their time in the sun, but jfc, its so insanely painful to play this game where more than half the time, you don't even have a front line to work with.

I get it. You think its fun to see .75 - .50 combat timers in your death reacap. Whatever. I just want at least a handful of champs that have the tools to defend me or others against that shit.

Or just make a fucking support champ that has a flat ability to actually tank for their team. If you can make assassin supports that are impossible to kill, that you constantly force out of solo lanes, then you can do the same with a defensive support tank.

If you dont want to change the damage, at least give me a viable freaking Vanguard to work with. They are all garbage right now, in a meta where they should be thriving.

Tank items need nerfs.

Tank base stats need buffs.

Then penetration can get the fuck out of this game and tanks won't feel like they are worth nothing.

Leo takes flat damage reduction + giga resists and theyre buffing the fuck out of Aftershock on its intended (read: not Lux) users, so like every preseason my fav Sun Lesbian is going to be OP as H**ck

Tanks really aren't that far out of the meta tbh. There are multiple tanks with over 50% win rate. Zac Amumu Leona Nautilus Sion Nunu etc.

I don't want to see tank vs. tank top lanes being the meta because that is boring.

The main problem with jungle tanks in competitive is they very easy to invade on and have bad scuttle control. So you against agressive junglers like LeeSin or Elise they have a real bad time.

I think they should have item 3035 apply after lethality instead of before like it used to be, and a few small buffs to tank itemization would bring them back into the soloqueue meta, but probably not into competitive, and I think that's ok.

Why dont you just play tanks yourself? You call other people edgelords for not playing tanks but you yourself are not playing tanks...

Leona, naut, alistar, braum. Are these not supports to you?
