I honestly love being forced to afk in lane.

Why wouldn't I love missing cs because the enemy has an easier time in lane, or a jungler? I wouldn't want to dare step out of tower range and take a stray auto, because while the damage tree has %damage amplification the tank tree has what again?

Oh yea, shield bonuses, and healing bonuses.

News flash, shields and healing doesn't exist in large in this game.

I'm really excited for patch 7.4, soon I can ask, who did you play before the nerf hit.

Do you not have junglers still gank level 2-3 and instantly kill you from full? I do, and let me tell you, its super fun being under tower or dead.

If ganking doesnt mean anything its back to the ages of sated devourer then.

At least its better than feral flare for sure.

Feral Flare was better. Not all of the meta champions used it.

Some would afk farm until 30 minutes and come out of the jungle as a hypercarry, but that's after 30 minutes of more interaction with the jungle than champions, which was a trade-off.


Sated Devourer was just hitting your 35 stacks and building another on-hit->tank and there being jack shit champions who didn't also have devourer without a sizable lead could do about it.

It stagnated the meta.

They probably haven't. They probably don't understand the reason why you went tank top lane is because they could walk from full hp all the way from the enemy tower, back to your tower, and still have 25-50% of their hp left.

Now if someone so much as looks at you funny, you are half hp.

Can hardly play Vlad atm if its not vs a tank now.

Everything AD 100-0s you, and if they buy Phage, you aren't allowed to leave tower range. Even then you aren't safe.

Can build up advantages over a full 2 minutes and it sometimes doesn't matter because everything can deal so much damage so much faster, and on lower CDs.


You used to be able to play into Irelia/Darius as Vlad. Now there's literally nothing you can do vs Irelia. She can stick on you and stat-check to death at any point in the game. Darius will just take Stormraider's, sometimes Ghost and rush Phage. Nothing you can do about it.

Isn't this the truth of the matter. The reason why a lot of junglers aren't played right now is because it isn't even safe in their own jungles. They can't even 1v1 when invaded, or run away. Hell, just try playing amumu jungle into Rengar. You can't out damage him, and you can't run from him.

Fiora in toplane is my favorite example. She can basically true damage you down to 0 hp with 5 of her passive marks. (So all she has to do is hit the first one, press R, and then dance around you) Unless you can literally cc and instantly dash away, there is nothing you can do to stop her from getting all 5 marks.

At the same time, healing/shielding is OP.

Notice how you aren't a viable tank if you don't have either spammable healing or significant shielding.
