Like, I'm playing Ornn, right? I have 4.8k health, 330 armor (350 when in their team), Ninja Tabi, Randuin's... and I die in less than two seconds in a teamfight when I ult everyone and go in with my E and knock everyone up. As soon as my CC ends, I die.
What is the point of a tank if they can't tank? Why do I bother building tank stats if I instantly die anyway?
Khristophoros3 votesWell it sounds like your team didn't follow up on your initiation. Either you were too far ahead or you had a team of potatoes.
In that situation when 5 enemies are free to focus you, it doesn't matter if you're a tank or not. Tanks aren't supposed to survive 5 man focus fire if they get caught out alone. When your team doesn't follow up it's basically the same as being caught alone.
Niyume1 votesI mean my team was right there in the teamfight that lost us the game, and I had the ENTIRE enemy team basically on lock down, so I'm goinna go with a team of potatoes.
... too bad most of my teams are made up of potatoes. Though, maybe I could make them useful and make some dish out of them. I am Irish, after all, and I love potatoes. xD
Shatter the Sun1 votesThe only reason I would want a super tank on my team is for zilean. I wanna have something to through my bombs on and speed up to do damage. But to answer your question, its to soak up their dmg. If you are getting deleted but the enemy team has their spells on cd so when the yi comes up he can freely kill them all, then you have done your job. If you die instantly and the enemy team still looks like they havent even started a fight then you or your team did something wrong. If they spend any time on you they are burning cd's which can be used for the main threat (carry).
ZombieWard ZW1 votesOrnn is a tricky tank. But thanks to His passive and his W you should have no problem 1v1ing any tank in the game. And what I mean about your passive is that before fights if you have an empty slot (BUY MORE WARDS!) You can purchase a cloth armour or a low cost item for a tiny bit more stats. But ornn isnt a friontline Dive into the enemy team tank. He can take the hits but use your ulti to get the most out of him. Burn enemy flashes or punish those without! you can easily collaps with a Flash AA Q W E combo on them after that. most of the time that's a kill onto a support midlane or any squishy target. your team should be able to follow you up too!
Niyume1 votesOh trust me, I know how to play Ornn.
I'm asking what the fuck a tank is supposed to do if they can't even do their job with how absurd AD itemization is.
ZombieWard ZW1 votesWell if you're struggling to know how to play a tank. you obviously don't know Ornn
