Runes add massive amounts of power to champions based on early (flat) or scaling runes. We will now have a more accurate representation of champion balance and maybe people will understand how toxicity designed some of these champions actually are. Vayne for example can build pure tank and max her w and 1v1 anyone in the game with ease. Cho goth has had one of the most toxic reworks to his kit ever to exist.

This just isn't true, though...Her W's damage scales with AD (and, technically, AS). If she built pure tank, she'd have shit percentage damage (no AD), and deal the damage pathetically slowly (low AS).
Vayne going full tank is no more likely to happen than Zed going full tank.
Moonfall Saber1 votesHave you ever seen tanky zed. It's still pretty strong.
DuskDaUmbreon1 votesYeah, if he ults (and kills) a target with an insane amount of AD, so that he can actually still assassinate. So he could go full tank, but it'd require the enemy team having someone with so much AD that he could easily reach 500+ AD with his ult.
Other than that, he has no reason to go tank. He has no innate CC, no utility...
Moonfall Saber1 votesNo he will always be an assassin he has a lot of mobility but tanky assassin's are a huge problem with the game because they can get in and then get out. Look at tank fizz or tank Ekko.
DuskDaUmbreon1 votesThey were a problem because they had enough base damage to actually go mostly tank and still do well. Zed doesn't have enough base damage for that to work.
And they weren't full tank, anyways. They used Trinity to actually have damage.
GankedByWindows2 votesI'm happy to see the new rune system too but this reasoning is awful. Full tank vayne is an awful idea and won't be able to duel anyone. She won't have the AS to proc silver bolts nearly enough. That also ignores that the majority of her damage to most targets, especially squishy targets, is still actually her autoattacks.
