What's the point of Armor these days?

If an AD assassin can 3 shot me, I naturally want to build armor so that way I can survive.

Sad thing is, even if I STACK armor, I STILL get 3 shot by the likes of Talon and Zed.

It's a bit crazy how you build armor just to still get 3 shot, only now you have no damage because you built armor.

League isn't the same as it used to be.

Your lying a talon or zed can't 3 shot anyone stacking armor the most lethality can do is go through 58 amor with 3 items like one ghostblade gives 18 lethality that is less then ninja tabi. Maybe the reason they fucking 3 shot you is because you fed them.

I sometimes wonder what game this board is actually playing. No, you do not get 3 shot by a Talon or Zed if you build armor, let alone "stack" it.

Half the reason Tanks aren't viable in the jungle, is because their only tanky option is Cinderhulk. Which does nothing for them when it comes to surviving the first 15minutes of the game. Hence why tanks aren't played. Tank items aren't bad, its the time it takes to get to them that's bad. By the time you actually have a tanky item. Zed has 2.5 items and is going to obliterate you. Cinderhulk needs to be changed into something that actually helps tanks survive the early game

You have to build armor before they get fed. If they're already fed and you haven't started building armor yet, you won't catch up unlees they throw and can't close the game out.

More like, when the enemy has 2item 1029 your Lethality is useless.

But keep telling yourself that Armor is useless.

That's why I only buy a few armor / mr items then stack hp + steraks.

A Zed with item 3071 gets to reduce your armor for his teammates but at the same time he synergizes more with % armor reduction more than % ignore from a specialized, pure anti tank item 3036 This isn't okay considering lord dominiks is supposed to be the item that truly makes you into a tank killer, an item that doesn't offer hp, or cdr, an item that doesn't reduce the armor of your opponent for your team

lethality`s flat armor ignore is calculated before item 3036 (So they arnt as good of a combination) While item 3071 reduces your armor by a %, allowing his lethality to synergize with it more on consecutive hits.

item 3071 needs to be worse at speed killing tanks in a 1v1 than item 3036 and not entirely by buffing item 3036

item 3071 needs a rework anyway since a lot of its intended users are dropping it in favor of item 3078 and unintended users are abusing the f*** out of it.
