Why are people complaining about tanks ?

I feel like bruisers and tanks are too strong right now due to loss of dfg people aren't building much mr anymore they just use health to mitigate the burst. How much armor tanks are packing right now is absurd. I personally think people who say tanks are underpowered are people who miss there cc. I am not sure why people get annoyed by adc when you by a thorn mail and they need like at least 10 crits to kill you

Yeah. 10 crits. not happening. Then you realize that if a tank builds total tank they dont do damage and can be safely ignored.

No one buys thornmail except rammus and malphite, and maybe situationally on other champions.

Didnt you make another thread crying about how ADCs are underpowered because they cant 1v5?

Lemme tell you a little story about a game I played last night.

I was Leona against a full AD team. I had Targon, Sightstone, Sunfire, Randuins. Enemy Master Yi had Botrk, Youmuus, Warrior enchant, and Last Whisper.

He jumped on me with his ult and W up and used Youmuus and Bork active. I had my own W up and used my Q to stun him then tried to ult.

He had 1/2 of my HP gone before my stun landed on him, and then he killed me before my ult landed.

To be fair, my reaction time on ult could have been faster, but I did not anticipate being killed in exactly 1.5 seconds by someone who I had been specifically counter building.

Tanks buy stats specifically to mitigate damage. They give up damage to gain mitigation.

ADCs do not give up damage to ignore the mitigated stats of a tank. Using a LW against a tank with two armor items, that item is over 700% gold efficient.

TL;DR: THE DEDICATED ARMOR PENETRATION ITEM SHOULD NOT BE 100% GOLD EFFICIENT AGAINST SOMEONE BUILDING NO ARMOR.

agree with sooko's post, tanks do feel irrelevant true dmg or % dmg... or better yet % true dmg champs. or like in yasou's case an insane armor pen buff.

now granted gnar is banned a fair amount, kalista imo is very skill dependant to be played at a high level, and vayne generally loses lane. now granted the players complaining could also be the ones engage a team fight, get cc'd and still continue to chase the adc (kalista, vayne) while being kited doing 0 dmg.

in my personal experience, i think tanks are in a fine place atm, i would like to see them come back to the jungle though, with the current jungle being filled with lee and j4 and if they are banned pantheon / vi / wukong appear, it would be nice to see nautilus , amumu, moakai back in the jungle.
