Why even bother buying defensive items at this point?

Literally what's the point of armor right now when people just barf true damage at you?

You do this all the time Riot, you make tanks irrelevant because of how easy it is to kill them. They then proceed to abuse their CC by going damage instead and instakilling when they shouldn't be. Then you nerf their damage and they become useless forcing you to rebuff them into weak but unkillable walls. Rinse and repeat.

Back to playing AP Malphite or AD sion because there's no reason to go the tanky path

even if he made a mistake, from a game design perspective %max healt true damage should have never existed

there is 1 flaw in his whole thing, but his point still stands true

I agree with this, true dmg is fine, but % true dmg is not, there is literally no counterplay for it atm (taric was supposed to have a way to reduce true dmg, but it was never followed through with)

Incase you haven't noticed, Riot doesn't like Tanks.

Or maybe don’t duel a Vayne or Fiora as a beefcake tank cuz they have % true damage? Rely on your team to kill them while you lock them down.

I didn't? We were teamfighting and they focused me because I was the tank and they could melt me through 3k+ hp and 200+ armor in a matter of 6 seconds. Because there's no counterbuilding or counterplaying that. Especially when you put % true damage on mobile champs

So then what was your team doing? Lolligagging around while you were busy getting shredded by tank shredders?

im sorry but, still not a good point. 2 champs killed him, means 3 other champs were free to do whatever they wanted. 3v4, if the 4 dont have tank shreading, they wont kill them before he died. a full tank died under 5 seconds. fiora probably proked her ult thus having the enemy team be healed up.

team couldnt match the tank shreading because the tank shreading is an issue in the first place

Hope your team can deal with them is not counterplay.

Dude if it was a Zed or a champion that's supposed to be countered by armor heavy champs, your complaint would make sense...

But this is a Vayne and a Fiora, 2 champs that can melt tanks. Even Bramblevest won't do shit (it will just hurt them back). What the hell were you doing? Trying to 1v2?
