To people saying tanks are OP...

Yeah, tanks are totally unkillable and OP, should be nerfed immediately...

Look at this game... http://matchhistory.eune.leagueoflegends.com/en/#match-details/EUN1/1487411877/221845270?tab=overview

I had 2 dudes trolling but it still proves that tanks are useless shit...

Every enemy auto attacker was able to kill me within 3-4 seconds and I had total of ~4K maximum health.

Vayne's silver bolts hit 500 TRUE DAMAGE each...

When I died in ~3 seconds to her, entire death recap was TRUE DAMAGE...

Aatrox could almost smack me down, hell even Leona with a minion wave almost killed me...

Now tell me again how tanks are OP...

The tank killer was killing tanks. In other news, water is wet.

i really dislike how people take that as an excuse to let her get away with every shit.

being able to reliably kill tanks doesnt mean she should be able to blow them up in seconds. it means she should be able to beat them over the duration of an extended fight (with proper support), where other champions cant kill tanks on their own at all, or would struggle to fight them.

if champions such as vayne in her current state exist, dont be surprised tanks just build full on offense mage builds and make use of their high damage scalings, to at least blow someone up before they get blown up.

there is literally 0 incentive to build any form of defense when there is a vayne on the enemy team. youre gonna die in 3 seconds anyways, might aswell fire that amumu ult with 600 aoe damage off, or feast someone on full ap chogath.

the problem with tank killers on the level of vayne is, that as long as they exist, there is no such thing as a tank.

"Waaaaah why is Vayne able to kill me I'm a tank I shouldn't have counters waaaah!"

i said, it shouldnt be ok even for vayne to just shred through tanks in less than 5 seconds. not that counters shouldnt exist.

going by your argument, we didnt ever need to nerf any assassin in the history of this game, because theyre made to kill other champions.

there is a point at which champions are too strong even at their intended job. and vaynes entire design is kindof ridiculous.

being able to kill tanks doesnt necessarily mean she should be able to burst them. if you dont want to see full ap maphites or full ap zacs blow up ad carries with little counterplay, then you need to allow their tank builds to actually be tanky to a certain point.

what do you think why so many tanks are building ap bruiser with a lot of damage mixed into their defensive items? because its more effective than a 6 item defensive build.

at some point of enemy champions being able to tank shred, the best defense really becomes a good offense. you survive longer and are more effective by bursting the vayne, than by trying to tank her.

and thus we dont actually have actual tanks anymore, but everyone is just trying to burst each other.

You can shred through Vayne in less than one second. Make use of those five seconds to set her up if you can.

If you can't, why are you diving 1v5 into a team with Vayne?

Vayne is so strong at her intended job that she has been rocking around a 47% win rate most of the season and even super late game has merely a 52% win rate.

This is despite the fact that only Draven has a more experienced playerbase among ADCs.

Force Vayne to have to switch between targets so she can't easily proc silver bolts. Take advantage of her low range and lock her down so your assassin/APC/bruiser can burst her down.

Vayne isn't meant to be easy to beat late game, though ironically she is actually much easier to handle than, say, Twitch, despite her weaker early game.

being able to kill tanks doesnt necessarily mean she should be able to burst them. if you dont want to see full ap maphites or full ap zacs blow up ad carries with little counterplay, then you need to allow their tank builds to actually be tanky to a certain point.

They are tanky.

Funnily enough neither Zac nor Malphite do that in their most common or highest win percent builds.

The problem you're shilling does not actually exist.

at some point of enemy champions being able to tank shred, the best defense really becomes a good offense. you survive longer and are more effective by bursting the vayne, than by trying to tank her.

Stop trying to mindlessly soak damage and focus instead on zoning her with your utility then.

No, this is a load of horse dick.

Zac is one of the best junglers in the game and is being built full tank. Malphite is still built full tank with maybe an Abyssal Scepter thrown in. Rammus as always is still doing okay and can still duel any ADC save Vayne late game. Amumu is doing well as both a full tank and an AP bruiser (he's always been built as both). Sejuani is doing well as a full tank jungler.

Tanks aren't bad. They're just unable to dive the backline and kill the ADC like they were doing a few patches ago when Nautilus was king of the top lane. And that's good. They shouldn't be 5,000 health assassins, nor should they be unkillable.

Also, your bias is hilarious. I love how you're so focused on Vayne rather than the even more fed Master Yi who is at least as good at killing tanks, if not better.

Oh I agree too, maybe I should have actually added a bit more to the discussion... Eh whatever, on topic, personally I feel that she really should not have a 12% true damage amp on her W. That's just downright dirty, and hurts even squishies. I have no ideas how Riot could address this though as I'm generally clueless when it comes to ADC balance(or any balance othe than mages for that natter).

they could simply reduce it, make her more physical damage focused otherwise and not allow it to apply on her e either.

the problem with vayne is, that her % true damage is just so damn high. like ridiculously high to the point where its not a supplement to give her reliable damage, but makes 50% of her total auto attack damage.

thats just average damage. including short trades throughout the lane phase where she doesnt have 5 points in the ability yet and fights are quickly resolved before she gets more than 1 or 2 procs off.

against fighters and tanks, it actually makes half of her damage.

Tanks are weak.Bruisers are strong.Learn meaning of the natural tanks.Ekko isn't natural tank or Gnar.Irelia, Jax, Fİora are strong champions in this meta.Nautilus, Poppy, Maokai, Malp, Zac, Sejuani, Sion are natural tanks and they are weak.

whoa-whoa-whoa, . . . Sion weak? Malphite weak? Poppy weak? Maokai w- yeah he's kinda weak atm

Tanks aren't weak, at all. They're just being outshined by champs who can tank as much as tanks, but still do a load of damage.

To be fair, Riot is supporting the Tanky fighter. Supposedly, True tanks would trade that damage for initiation and lock down tools.

Also, I disagree about the notion that Tanks don't do damage. They don't do as much as their fighter counterparts, but they tend to have some damage tied in with their abilities, giving them damage in the form of burst. Sion for example, His Q, and W, give him amazing wave clear. And even if you don't 100-0, A Sion dishing out his full combo on a squishy, is still going to hurt.

Over all, I'd say, if tanks were UP. (And I don't actually think that's the case) I would argue that it has nothing to do with how much damage they can soak. Rather, what they need is a better highlight in the amount of Initiation/disruption that they can actually offer. (Using Sion as an example again, maybe you lower his Ult cooldown, allowing him to make more initiations.)

Unless your complaint is "If I only played a carry, I could carry myself out of this mess that my teammates got me in." That wouldn't appear to be the case.

I'm looking at your game. You have the highest amount of damage taken while retaining the fewest deaths. You have the best Kill participation on your team. (kills + Assists) You have the second best CS on your team, which is pretty good for a Jungler. The best gold on your team. And even the second best Damage output to champions.

Your complaining that tanks are useless, using a game where the team's tank was the clear MVP.

[zombie-brand-facepalm]

And this back and forth argument about the viability of tanks only come up because Malphite item 3025 item 3068 Dies in 2.1 seconds (apparently) yet Ekko item 3025 item 3068 is (apparently) Bullsh*t.

marío xd1 votes

Because Ekko has damage and semi-sustain + high mobility. Any true tank (AKA quite immobile and low damage) is poop unless you're ahead A LOT and your teammates are strong and follow.

I have a love hate relationship with tank mains.

I always want them on my team, but I also hate how you guys are always asking for buffs when tanks are very powerful currently.

Also that Vayne comment was cringey, you should edit that out.

when Vayne has 1,5 items + boots and I have 4 and I get destroyed just because I was high health (~500 bonus health from W) and 4 items in + boots is stupid...
