This goes both ways. People complaining tanks do damage, or people complaining tanks melt.

Vayne Fucking tanks...

Vladimir item 3152 item 3065 item 3151 item 3158 item 3157 item 3116 ?

I main Vi and this is the stuff I deal with all the time.

"Vi. we are losing. Go tank." "Vi why arent you going tank?" "Vi. you have sheen. why are you building damage when we are losing?" "Vi why arent you tanking? build more tank."

worse flaming ommited naturally. and in half of every game I lose as Vi people want to argue with me on whether or not she is a tank,

Not a fcking tank. if i built an armor item, it means i dont want to die to physical damage. but every armor and Mr item in the game wont make me a tank unless i go cinderhulk Taric build and then i'm just wasting my damn time playing Vi when i could have just picked a damn tank at champ select.

there are things called bruisers, and they arent tanks. Half the time they barely fit the sub class of tanky. they're just there to live long enough to win. Like an assassin who actually likes to stay in a fight longer than getting a kill and leaving.

I got this shit all the time when I mained Pantheon.

GayFluffyUnicornSep 28, 20161 votes

So when u have zero tanks u prefer to be a glasscannon when u can still go tanky and deal dmg. When you are losing/behind you still go for glasscannon because "MUH I PICKED VI NOT A TANK DUH!". Great logic.

SinlaireSep 28, 20162 votes

people like you are the reason why this thread exists. Vi is a Bruiser. Bruisers build half damage, half tank items.

Vi's main build is item 1400 item 3078 item 3111 item 3742 item 3053 item 3026

which, if you are counting, is 1 damage item minus the jg item, and full tank/bruiser. now tell me where in your broken freaking logic are you telling me ANYWHERE that i went damage Vi? because in my examples all i ever mentioned was a item 3057 and my team saying i wasn't "tanky" enough.

which means you just proved a point very well. they say assuming makes an ass of u and me but really its only you in this case. you assumed I go Vi when there are no tanks, go glass cannon, and then just assume everyone will understand that since Vi is not a tank i'm therefor free from building tanky.

Vi CAN go "tanky" but us not a "tank". so dont bitch when i still die quickly. Vi also relies on item 3078 as her one lord and savior in her build 99% of the time, and yet people whine when the game goes south saying if i have only a sheen going "why are you building damage Vi?"

because fuck-wits like you dont understand essential items and non-essential items and assume that because my item page looks like item 1400 item 3057 item 3047 that I'm going damage when i have yet to rally the gold to buy even a item 1031 or item 1057 . i literally just finished my core items. jg item, sheen, boots. your first three always, win or lose.

so yeah. I picked Vi, I'm not a tank, and you can ride your ass into a loss for days until you understand the things i've outlined.

It's mostly complaining that Juggernauts can't tank, becuase most people lump juggernauts together with tanks.

RalanrSep 27, 20162 votes

Basically this.

SpoofghoulSep 27, 20165 votes

but when i do actually build tank i still die just as fast as most champs anyway

so its also no surpise people build damagy on tanks

TyrekGoldenspearSep 28, 20164 votes

Well yeah, when you jump into the middle of the fight and have 5 dudes mashing all their buttons while their mouse is hovering on you, of course you're going to die.

When you build full tank on a tank, you're not supposed to be focused on hurting the enemy like if you were playing a Juggernaut, then you'd have to build bruiser or something.

Juggernauts balance tankiness and damage to survive and hurt the enemy as much as possible before biting the dust.

Tanks go full tank and focus on disruption to keep their own dudes from getting hurt by CCing and knocking around the enemy before biting the dust.

They have similar roles, to win the teamfight, but one throws more damage into the mix and hopes to win that way, while the tanks focus on making sure their carries are alive so they can dish out the hurting.

KorZodSep 28, 20161 votes

Exactly. No matter who you're playing, if you take full 5 man focus, you're going to die quickly. The point of the tank is that you live long enough to get to the backline with enough health to harass and disrupt their team, not 1v5 while your team is completely untouched

MunchCrunchLunchSep 27, 20161 votes

the game is blind on tankiness as long as you have the necessary stats.

a vayne with 4k hp 200 resistances is just as tanky as a rammus with 4k hp 200 resistances

5000000000000000Sep 28, 20166 votes

Firstly no, because Rammus has a defensive steroid. And being a tank isn't just being difficult to kill. It's about protecting and/or setting up for allies by locking down enemies. Rammus can do that. Vayne has a situational stun that can knock back enemies as well. Rammus can tank much better than Vayne, even if they have the same stats.

IAmWoraloSep 28, 20164 votes

Not to mention scaling, vayne has no defensive scaling at all. And his kit is shit for tanking.

RivuoSep 27, 20162 votes

Amumu is a tank no matter what he builds lets be honest <.<..

RalanrSep 27, 20167 votes

Idk, I like making full AP nukemu.

So you dont have to worry about being tanky then :]

RalanrSep 27, 20166 votes

If you're building damage then you're not trying to worry about being tanky in the first place.

Full AP Amumu isn't building to tank, he's building to kill.

Yes thanks for teaching me League 101

You build damage with the intent to kill.

Let me just wait for you to realize the sarcasm in my posts.

I apologize. I didn't get much sleep last night and my job isn't helping me to notice sarcasm.

xD all good man sry for being an ass

Eh, at this point I'm basically swimming in a sea of ass.

No probs man.

TyrekGoldenspearSep 28, 20161 votes

Gee, thanks for putting that image into my head. <.<

Mecha MaIphiteSep 27, 20163 votes

I guess glass cannon Talon is also pretty tanky, because they'll also be dead.

Athenes LuluSep 27, 20162 votes

What about "designated tank champions" building damage?

So technically people are still complaining about "tanks".

Jet SettSep 28, 20161 votes

Exactly what I thought.

RalanrSep 28, 20161 votes

But then they complain about tanks doing damage while building full tank. Which is rarely the case with a heavy AP build.

SwaidSep 28, 20162 votes

DrMundo item 3068 item 3065 item 3111 item 3083 item 3143 item 3102

Mundo have no idea what people talk about! See? All tank items, yet people still complain about Mundo!

SulghunterSep 28, 20161 votes

They're just as tough as an actual tank...

IAmWoraloSep 28, 201610 votes

No, no they're not. Believe me APmumu goes down so fast, whereas full tank Amumu can shower in an MissFortune ult while catching Katarina blades and sunbathing in Annie her ult.

RalanrSep 28, 20163 votes

It's hard to shower in Miss Fortune's ult anymore.

Malicious MetalSep 28, 20161 votes

Well foxdrop calls it the Grenade amumu build for a reason

RalanrSep 28, 20161 votes

Grenade Amumu? I was calling it Nukemu.

Malicious MetalSep 28, 20163 votes

Grenade as in you blow up yourself but take everybody else with you.

RalanrSep 28, 20161 votes

Ohh.

Usually my victims don't have enough MR to survive a full AP Anumu ult and puddle combined. Plus Crystal scepter makes it nearly impossible for them to escape Amumu if they have no dashes or blinks.

Let's try this, maybe?

Amumu + SOTA: item 1413 item 3742 item 3111 Is a tank Maokai + SOTA: item 1401 item 3065 item 3025 Is a Tank Rammus + SOTA: item 3075 item 3102 IS NEARLY UNKILLABLE.

Tanks aren't squishy if you build them "correctly".

RalanrSep 28, 20161 votes

And have back up.

they are late game with last whisper+, void staff , black cleaver, bork etc. there's also more percent HP in champion's kits than ever.

IAmWoraloSep 28, 20161 votes

%HP damage is always based on something, like magic or physical except for true damage. So let's say you are some basic tank with 300 armor against whatever with item 3071 item 3142 item 3147 item 3036 item 3153 this stuff You would have still have around 120 armor or so left when they hit, meaning you still have 60% ish damage reduction. With 5k health and around 400 damage on an adc with bork, it would still take them more then 10 hits to kill you.

Meep ManSep 28, 20162 votes

No, Tanks (especially the ones listed here) late game are pretty Tanky if they don't try and 1v5

SnowplosionSep 28, 20161 votes

That's really only a problem if you have no other tank or diver, and no follow up what so ever. Also as long as you're not in the middle of the team taking ALL the damage for more than five or so seconds you will be fine.

CarameI FrappeSep 28, 20161 votes

Graves Hey guys, i'm a tank aren't I?

Akali Maokai Pantheon Lucian No you're not!

Graves Oh reeeaaally now?

item 1412 item 3053 item 3156 item 3006 item 3812 item 3142

Akali Maokai Pantheon Lucian ...... Graves please.

aLawfulFalafelSep 28, 20161 votes

item 3111 item 3065 item 3742 item 3068

my favorite core tank items

item 3027 item 3110 item 3025 item 3083 item 3071

my favorite situational tank items

as a tank i dont need much damage; ROA and Black C provide plenty enough dmg for the champs that can make good use of them IBG can provide not only damage but extra utility that can = extra damage

my view is if u build more than 2 dmg items your half tank at best and 1 or 2 items with dmg but the rest tank is tank and if you should go all tank items you are full tank
