The advent of the Dodge Tank
I'm advocating for the arrival of a new age.
I'm going to leave this game after my current event is done, but before I go, I'd like to provide the community who has supported me for so long with a strategy for overcoming the current anti-tank meta. In Japan, there are certain games with a style of character we we refer to as... Well I can't type it or I'll get chastised again. But the translation is essentially "Dodge Tank". These characters have low health, but protect their party by having insane dodge mechanics that allow them to attract aggression and dodge the incoming attacks to stay alive.
Now as most of us know, currently, resistances are useless. Lucian kills a 200+ armor Leona in less than four seconds. Literally. Literally literally. Not Millennially literally, but dictionary literally. If that's not what obsolescence looks like, call me a blind man. Instead, I'm introducing the dawning of a new age. The age of the Dodge Tank.
I intend to play mobile champions - LeBlanc, Akali, Nidalee, Shaco, etc. - who are annoying and difficult to ignore... as tanks. Build a little resistance. Call it ablative armor. Build some health. Build plenty of speed and CDR. Then get into the opponent's face, backdoor to draw their attention, and stay mobile. Get them off your team and onto you, and make sure they don't hit you.
This is the future of League if it has one at all. Riot's not going to fix anything. We ask and ask and they completely ignore us. (Too busy being mercurial with Faker, I suppose.) If the players don't adapt to this brave new world, frustration will soon set in and the game will stop being fun entirely. Join me, my friends. Join me in restoring order to our once beloved game.
Every meta has started with a demand for innovation. It's time to start our meta. It's time to Dodge Tank.

where I build her as a drain tank and I literally orb walk into the enemy team dodging half the skillshots thrown at me and outhealing anything that hits me.
