I'm so done with the tank meta...

We've been through a lot of different metas/playstyles during all those season which passed by, but the new tank meta is (in my opinion) the WORST from them all. Tanks are supposed to be tanky not to do damage and it was clear for everyone (except dps dmg and Nasus ). Now they do some retarded amounts of damage with 1-2 offensive items ( or even none ). ADCS used to get annoyed by assasins who killed them in half a second but those assasins could have been also one shotted right after they killed the adc/apc but now we have tanks who can kill the carry in lets say 2-3 seconds and than they can switch to other targets cuz they are TANKY. Another thing is lets say... fun of playing the game. With the more glasscannon meta the game was more interesting, there was a lot of outplay potential and a little mistake could end up as a death. Now we have a garen with a silence loads of free defensive stats and a point and click execution which can deal around 1000 damage without any items...... ( cry more abour rivens execution.... you can dodge it at least after the nerfs ) And thats my main point: The game became boring and frustrating And please dont say ''than play tanks''.... There is nothing more boring than a tank gameplay.. I'd rather play chess

I'm tired of hearing bads whine about the tank meta when I'm getting chunked for 80% of my health from 1.2k range despite -being- a tank.

what I'm saying is gut the poke.

Build a kite and kite them also peel for your adc and you will surely win a lot of team fights even when you're behind against tanks.

I think that the tank meta was the healthiest meta I've seen in years. It kept champions like LeeSin and Nidalee under control, it gave tanks the ability to do something other than dive into the enemy team and pray their own team followed up the initiation, and it made marksman actually pause and think before mindlessly right clicking on anything that got close to them. Most tanks have their weaknesses though, as they can be peeled quite easily.

Also, Garen is not a tank. He is a tanky anti-carry bruiser.

Garen lol! You lost all credibility there. Garen depends on either great positioning or enemy mistakes in order to pull damage after laning phase. The fact that the only way he can close in is to Q ( a speed buff) and if he initiates with it all slows will work on him so most of the times is better to save it in case you decided to slow him. His execute is pretty much an overkill, he indeed can do over 1k with his ultimate but is magic damage so will be reduced by whatever mr you have fully since garen normally don't build mr.
