Welp, there are a lot of persons getting annoyed about the adc changes but let be honest at least the role of marksmen is not practically dead for some dumb mechanic that can't be countered, of course this is another true damage post ............. What can i say? I used to main Poppy then she got nerfed to the ground and when she started to get buffs,her whole class got demoted to super minions........Playing tanks feel awful right now, you just can't TANK and that's the point of the whole class i know people hate tank meta but why going from an extreme to the other? Why can't tanks just be viable but not broken? And i'll be honest with you i would take tank meta over every other meta every single day of my life. Because it is the one that has been around for the longest time it doesn't mean that it is the worst. Or do you want juggernaut meta back? Or adcity meta? or deathfire grasp meta? I would love to hear your opinions and let's hope tanks can be tanks again (Btw sry if my english is not perfect im spanish) I did a quick edit , i took out the IE from the post because it was causing confussion.......My complains are about true damage and anti tank mechanics in general not just the IE

Riot ruined tanks' reputation overbuffing tanks that dealt DAMAGE. True tanks are unplayable atm, you got one shot by Eve or Yi or Kai'Sa or...

The only way they are still useful is if they have some hard CCs, so they can allow some OP damage dealers to burst enemies before enemies burst you and your team. Fun game.

Tanks are the only class of players I actually really sympathesize with. :( You guys got shunted out harder than ADC's did and I'm so sorry. I would like to see tanks too.

tanks open up more viable compositions and classes

I think they should definitely be healthy for a good meta

I can't even play Ziggs with no frontline and that seems to be the norm now so basically one of my favorites is not good

I like having tanks around but i dont like tank metas <.<

As i see it, extremes are almost always bad.

tank meta at least had longer team fights that had to have some strategy and thought implemented, any other meta its who can burst who faster.

Tank Meta =/= VIable Tanks

Tank Meta = Tanks Also Deal Damage

Viable Tanks = Minute Long Wet Noodle Fights

I Love Minute Long Wet Noodle Fights

I'm Not Even Joking

I'm fine with tanks having more defensive capabilities less so with them getting more offensive ones.

Take Poppy for example since you brought her up -- why does a tank need a damage passive that she can use to poke every few seconds, a skill that deals good base, scaling, AND % Max Health damage. And then you add in 3 other skills that for some reason all have to deal damage so she for some reason has 5 damaging skills as a tank all with ridiculous high scalings and decent base damage.
