Tank meta is dead

GodJormungandr··5 votes·1,039 views

There are very few tank users in this season, All these new lethality items, with a mix of Lw and Cleaver, tanks are no longer tanks. They are getting 1 shotted, and can't CC the Ad users Due to the lethality items scaled with a banshee. So is the Tank meta in league of legends dying or just Certainlly Dead and won't come back. it's getting the weakest and weakest, i am really confused of what going to happen in Tank meta Rework.

Thanks for being positive Mal the Red, i swear to god, They are getting 1 shotted in late game, People are playing so many assassins and Ad carries with all these new lethality items mixed with cleaver + Lw, They melt the tanky like nothing , and Tanks can't cc them because they keep blocking the CC and Melt.

I hope so, I really hope in 6 months They give tanks more options to not get 1 shotted from these Lethality and Penetration Items against them.

The tank rework will be back but so will vayne. I bet we will see alot of VI and Kled. Anyone with % max HP damage.

Against % Physical damage i go scaled armor more than hp, Against flat true damage i build hp Against % Magic damage i scale more Magic resistance

But seriously against vayne who deals % of my Hp in true damage, it's definitely the reason why i say Vayne needs to be changed to physical damage scaling like vi. She is uncountered.

Even then, VI is still a good anti tank. I know from experience. I played her myself and destroyed tanks. Image's not as good as vayne because the scaling isn't as high and it's physical.

can't speak to what is going on in the LCS...

but in my games, if I play Nautilus or Rammus and my team hasn't thrown the game by the time I get 2 to 3 items, I damage-tank carry my team to victory more often than not.

Works especially well with every other meta sheep picking Khazix Rengar or LeeSin and then becoming useless late game. Meanwhile, I provide an actual immortal frontline with peel and lock down. Hard to lose once you have that going...

Khazix, rengar and lee sin aren't late game champions, They are early gankers - mid game carries For sure nautilus and rammus used to solo kill them in past but things changed in items and itemizations. I am talking about the overall play against in teamwork. New lethality items with cleaver and lw can deal fully damage and armors won't help. And edge of night is CC counter while scimitar [ Qs ] and also Banshee are. This is what i am talking about. Riot made assassins, Fighters, Skirmishers, Ad carries are god likes in game while in past Tanks late game were the strongest to deal with, That's gone.... and i want that to come back because tanks are tanks they suppose to be strongest to solo with.

And that for sure will let us question ourselves we say. Tanks used to be perfect in late game... but while things changed in items.We know very well that champions like Lee sin, Khazixs rengar can 1 shot the ad carry or mage while they are still not squishy and all other Fighters are way better than tanks now. This is what worries me. They became so behind.

Wow well I guess I've never really run into that then...

A lethality build can blast through my 3 to 5 item Rammus?

item 1401 item 3075 item 3047 feels pretty strong already.

By 5 items the defensive capability just gets absurd.

I dunno... I still feel like I am "tanking" from mid to late game very well. I mean, aside from an early game where potentially a Rengar, Kha or Lee can out-Gank or counter jungle me.... I feel that if I survive to mid or late as a Tank jungler, I seem to do so much more.
