If you die to a tank, you got outplayed.

It means he had to calculate (and execute) the fight exactly to his specifications, stats and other numerical values taken in at that very moment, taking into account your cooldowns and his, the creep waves and the general "feel" of the lane (an ability that has to be honed through years, maybe decades of what you call merely "gaming")

Indeed, to be defeated by a tank is to realise that you have found your better, both as a player and as a man. Your mettle failed you, but the tank player is wood-hard, cold, reliable- and as he secures his first blood and you anxiously await the surrender vote, his mind is still operating at full capacity preparing strategies for a near infinite amount of possibilities.

inb4 this gets removed for being in gameplay and not memes & games

Malphite Actually, I just spam Q with comet and scorch, until they either back early and come back underleveled for me to cheese, or stay and get dived and killed anyway. A lot of calculation, as to how to spend my inevitable +300g.

Please don't call "a tank" some broken champions doing tons of damage while having tons of HP; that is a League stuff, not a "tank".

I got outplayed because Maokai had more base damage than me? I got outplayed because Ornn deals about 40% of my health in percent health damage?

I'm sorry, but tanks just literally are just pressing buttons on people. They aren't calculating anything.

How I felt when a 9/0/0 MasterYi with such a poor lack of statistical analysis went and tried to fight me in my jg being a 3/2/1 full armor Rammus . I SAID BOI YOU'RE OUT YOUR GOT DAMN MIND, then proceeded to run him down. Killed him until he was dead thus asserting my dominance. He was never seen in red side jungle again.

I was outplayed by malphite pressing RQE for 60% of my health and then perma-cc'ing me until he does the other 40%? Wow, i have a lot to learn..

I was so confused for a second trying to figure out if this was a joke or not, anyone else?

Maokai Point and click root cc. I don't know how can he outplay yourself since he doesn't have to think bfore using his ablities

Chogath One shot potential and can go up to 8k+ hp

What kind of joke was that , A Tank can 1 vs 1 any adc or mage but for me as a mages main , what do I get when I hit all my skillshots and kite as much as possible and still a tank can kill me easily ? I never saw a tank outplaying Ahri Lux Annie , they will just take all the damage and skillshots and still never die , and they will kill you , and if they buy item 3065 , then I'll just forget that I exist , I'll end up being a support that uses my cc only to make my teammates kill them

Good joke, you missed the memes & games section though.

I unironically agree with this post. You have to be utter garbage to die to a tank in this game, or a no skill adc attempting to abuse range.

i got outplayed because the enemy team has a better jungler , better mid laner , better adc , better support and a better player than me . [slayer-jinx-wink] . REPEAT AFTER ME .

Question on the subject of tactics: I played Twitch yesterday, and I got killed by a Wukong. 1698 damage in 0,83 seconds, according to the recap (trust me, those numbers stuck accurately, because I couldn't believe them).

Was that my mistake for letting him that close in the first place; was he just that much better than me; or was...simply the "numbers" on his side?

EDIT: I guess I could add that 1) I don't like playing ADC - wanted Sivir, but she declined. And 2) I have no idea how to play Twitch, which I said before the game even started. https://matchhistory.eune.leagueoflegends.com/en/#match-details/EUN1/1896863360/201309331?tab=overview
