Have You Considered that the Armor Changes is a Good Thing?

The sustainability of tanks as of late is freaking disgusting. A champ that dives in an entire enemy team with only three items built and no back up should not be able to escape so easily, but I have done so repeatedly (sometimes on the scummiest amount of health and others with more than 30%). And then, when reinforcements arrive, said "injured" tank can just dive right back in to initiate a team fight and then walk all the way back to safety, having survived not one dive but 2.

I've read a bunch of whining about how armor is now nerfed into uselessness, but even I felt like a scumbag for being able to stack a handful of items that basically allows me to cripple multiple enemies at once just by walking in a straight line and pushing one button.

People seem afraid that ADC's will now become overwhelming in strength all because Thornmail's effectiveness has been reduced rather significantly. I personally remember a time in which the ADC was feared, revered, respected, and known to score penta kills rather frequently before the age of mobility. A time in which people wanted to play the role more often than not. But, Riot's expressed thoughts on what's been done to the ADC role reflects my own. The ADC has been forcefully shoved into a corner to cry, die, or both. The ADC basically has two jobs, hide behind everyone on the team and mop up the remains of the enemy and destroy structures. You all whine about how you won't be able to survive without your precious tank sustain and it makes me wonder if you know what it's like to play a champion that has no escapes, little to no CC, relies entirely on AA, and, if ever in the wrong place for even a tenth of a second, is FUCKED THOROUGHLY!

Well, Riot has assured us all that this is merely a test to see how these changes will affect the game; so, before you all go into panic mode and immediately rage at the company that provides you with you completely free-of-charge gaming experience, maybe you should find out what it's like to be placed on an even playing field as a tank. Even when carries were strong and the tank was not as dominant as it has been as of late, it remained death to an ADC to focus an enemy tank prior to securing priority targets. You won't be able to dive an entire enemy team on your own anymore? Boo hoo!

If you like to play Zed and Lee Sin, armor nerfs are good. If not, they suck.

Those that call adc are those whom also are welfare queens and expect everything to be handed to them on a silver plate.
