Tank meta so broken.

Riot has made a lot of STUPID mistakes, but this latest patch (5.16) is completely trash. The tank meta is ridiculous right now. I have stuck with riot thru many stupid stupid mistakes, but I think this is finally the last straw. This game is just too jacked up right now.

what exactly are you talking about. tanks kindof got the shaft with the armor changes, and the trashing of thornmail.

if youre talking about the 4 bruisers that got buffed, working as intended. you actually have to pay attention to them now like to a stacked nasus.

no more sitting in garens spin and tanking him with lifesteal. you want to live? you have to kite.

Honestly he's right. More and more people are building "tank" getting Titanic Hydra+ black cleaver and stacking HP or getting titanic Hydra + sated devourer and facerolling every AP mid, ADC, AD top with wreckless abandon. They recently added these weapons that make tanks do more damage, revamped some tanks to be even stronger and increase their survivability. The point of "Tanks" in videogame history is to be large, in charge, slow, lumbering, nigh unstoppable titans. Where's all this damage nonsense coming from?

You increase damage, you get squishyer you increase tanking, you lose damage you get tougher, you get slower you get faster, you take more damage that's normally how games go in the balancing region.

Are you ignorant? There's plenty of anti-tank items (torment, ruin blade, ext) as well as several champions specifically better at killing tanks (vayne, fiora, ext).
