Position better? Okay Ill stand in my fountain because Zac can jump from literally MORE THAN 2X AS FAR AS Malphite . Who the f*ck thinks this is okay?

if you think that's so amazing, play "carry-tank" Zac bot and see if you win games.

I mean, you should be winning left and right with Zac as the bot lane carry if that's the case. More gold than jungle by far and a support to set up engages.

It would win literally every game. I dont get why people dont just play 5 tanks everywhere.

I dont do it because I prefer playing champions that take skill.

If its so easy why dont you do it? Spoken like someone whos never played ADC.

because I didn't claim that tanks were so good they could replace ADCs. I recognize that every team needs an AD and in fact, LCS teams have multiple ADCs. That's why Kindred is top jungler.

its true i have seen 5 tanks before and they took mid tower before minions spawned. it was outrageous. that was before the early tower armor though.

These seem appropriate. Not a correction, but I find them funny.

5 tanks literally does win every game tho. I can predict the outcome of each game based on who has more tanks and 100 times out of 100 Im correct. The reason I have a huge losing record in norms is because I never play tanks meaning chances are high the other team has more tanks.

I think you replied to the wrong person; I have not said anything yet regarding your original topic.

I was just linking a couple XKCD comics which seemed relevant to Dominick Destine's post.

Reason you should have someone that peels usually a support

CaítlynJun 5, 20161 votes

Kinda hard to peel when youre knocked up and its impossible to click on his hitbox while hes bouncing in the air for 5 seconds.

That's what she said.

OHHHHHH... you walked right into that one. No but seriously, Alistar Blitzcrank Poppy Lulu Janna Thresh could easily defend you from ZAC's jump. You can knock ZAC out of his jump, you can't knock Malphite out of his.

His damage scales with health. That's literally what he's supposed to do as a front liner.

CaítlynJun 5, 20162 votes

Thats retarded game design. How can that possibly be balanced?

Theres literally no reason to play so-called "carries" when you can buy tank gear and do the same damage, all while being unkillable.

Why aren't you complaining about you know...EVERY OTHER FRONT LINER IN THE GAME?

Oh this post includes them. Zac was just an example.

Personally, they are all retarded but Sion Garen are not as bad. The worst are the tanks that can jump in from far away meaning your positioning doesnt mean jack sh*t.

Yah I know but you can position yourself behind your team and be safe.

The tanks that ignore your positioning are the most stupid.
