Riot can you stop focusing on damage and start considering tanks/bruisers for updates?

We have marksman who in general just always get babied by you and are always broken beyond comprehension. Then we have mages like LB who can 100-0 someone at level 3 and only falls off after someone builds 6 MR items. Veigar and Brand who (were already retardedly strong) got buffed Penetration items being crazy efficent CDR being way more accessible Masteries that even more retarded burst damage

Right now Tanks might as well be reclassed into "CC and Die" only certain tanks like Naut or Malphite who can consistently CC multiple people are relevant. Even then they get shreded/bursted fast.

This is getting outta control

the broken part about adc / mages is true , but tanks / bruisers / juggernauts are all broken as shit They do way too much damage currently.

item 3285 Nerfed item 3001 reworked for early game vs late game for all AP assassins tho this is considered a nerf DFG removed from game item 3157 nerfed item 3089 inefficient and with all the AP nerfs to other items with base AP dropping from 120 to 100 this was nerfed as well

If you haven't noticed Marksman are kind of in the shitter besides late game they do nothing but farm for 30 minutes before they can do anything to actually impact the game (This is assuming about even lane match up obviously sometimes they get kills and snowball)

Tanks are still in the current meta who needs a rework? Sion RekSai Gragas Maokai Darius Olaf Shen Skarner Zac Sejuani Malphite are all strong right now some more than others not to mention a few of these champs have been reworked in the last year Grag/Mao/Sion/Darius/Shen/skarner all got fairly recent reworks regardless if some were better reworks than others

besides rammus and nunu and maybe mundo i don't see too many tanks that need updating

Darius and Olaf aren't tanks.

catastrophicSkil1 votes

yes they are besides the bad ones majority of the time they are played as tanks

Ralanr1 votes

They do not have the CC to qualify as tanks.

catastrophicSkil1 votes

neither does nunu or mundo but they still is considered a tanks

CC does not classify who is a tank and who isnt their traditional playstyle and builds do

Ralanr1 votes

No he isn't.

catastrophicSkil1 votes

okay friend keep saying that to yourself

Ralanr1 votes

And you the same. Cause clearly we disagree on what tanks are.

And I for one have had enough discussions on the topic.

To be fair, its the low mobility and CC, with the ability to deal high damage that classifies a Juggernaut.

Olaf and Darius are considered Juggernauts or Bruisers not Tanks.

Nunu's a weird one considering his kit is basically PvE related he really doesn't fit into any of the categories

item 3153 item 3036 these two items alone can make them look like they didn't invest in a single defensive stat

Then you have ap champs like ahri or Veigar or brand ignoring basically every hint of MR.

Tanks are only strong right now if they manage to get ahead. If you go even or fall behind you're never going to be worth anything

Im pretty sure Wardens/Vanguards are after Assassins.
