The Tanks are coming !

I feel like the whole I am a big tank meta is really getting out of hand. Specially with this patch. Riot we love you, but I feel like a tank that does damage is basically like saying, "oh here have a multi functioning character, that does both thanking and damage ! Not to mention makes both marksmen and mid lane carries utterly useless." Yeah that sounds like a-lot of fun. There are 2 Armour pen items and and 2 magic pen item and that pretty much everyone builds Other items are just... there...I am well aware that are some other options. However, lets be honest a guy that can kill me in 2 hits and it takes me 15 hits to kill him thanks to the armor and health he has stacked up it just doesn't seem fair. "Oh but their abilities are slow and they are easy to kite". Yeah I don't see how you can kite a full damage Jarv, Sion, Maokai, Gragus, Vlad, Udyr and Shyvana once she has like 2 defense items done.

Believe me I like this new meta where every champion is becoming viable. Although, when champions become too specific and there is no difference between a team game and a solo experience it just takes the fun out. I feel like riot is trying too hard to promote a team based experience without realizing that most of us rather just play alone and be the hero to carry the team and then tell tall tails about how we carried to our friends.

there is no tank meta except when you feed someone uncontrollably.

Do you even know what they are doing to armor?

Means you don't understand basic counter building or that they are uncontrollably ahead.

If they have 2 defensive items they they are not full damage. If they are full damage then they don't fit into your complaining about tanks. Clarify what you are whining about and stay on topic.

Then maybe league isn't for you, try CoD or CSgo instead.

I dont see why you are attacking me rather than the game itself. It is the tank meta. I understand they are making changes but is it enough? who knows this is a disscusion about the game not about me. so please keep hate comments to your self. Also I am talking about a 1 damage item then full defence Irelia killing people off like nothing and there is no difference real game play. Also I rather not play CoD or CSgo I am here to play a Moba not a Fps there is a difference. learn it.

I'm not trying to attack you, just pointing out a few things that are fairly obvious. The tank meta passed at least 5 patches ago, since then we have been in a fairly balanced meta where no one class is crowding out any other.

Also if you don't enjoy the teamwork aspect of the game then you probably don't want to play a moba, they probably aren't for you. If FPS aren't for you either try RTS.

poke meta.

I've heard it called the poke meta a few times, but i hardly see the poke champs dominating the scene or drowning out one lane/class of champs. There are still tanks, bruisers, adcs, healing supports, pick supports, burst mages, zone control mages, counter junglers, farming junglers, ganking junglers.
