I just played vs pure tank grasp of the undying lee sin. Having super high base dmg is annoying to deal with.

Pick a champ that does mixed or magic, or go pure tank, or go home. I watched as a miss fortune used a full channel ult on a voli, and it basically healed him.

Wait until adcs get 1 or 2 tank items and start learning that they would still throw out damage, and beat the other adc's while living against them, and beat the mid laners probably. Just wait until it becomes a thing some day.

I should just get on League tonight, pick an adc and go one or two tank items, and start the trend!

Lee is classified as an assassin, and a fighter (what ever that is). Grasp is so broken it is making toplane nothing but armor stacking tanks.

Normally I think Gangplank would do well into lee, but one person not having grasp made the matchup really lopsided.

I'd you do the math grasp takes about 38-42 hp per proc, witch is like a third of potion or half a flask. The only way to beat grasp is to use it or play something that doesn't go into melee range.

Well tank akali was actually pretty nice without being op or broken, tank fizz is nice as well although more mediocre since he has a lack of cc.

Yasuo is a melee carry which is getting renamed into skirmisher and not an assassin in the first place.

Tank ekko was a problem because for some reason riot decided to give him, an assassin, a large amount of CC with a shield(kinda like diana on drugs when diana was suppose to be a bruiser in the first place but her high ratios let players force her into an assassin while still holding her CC and shielding)

Tank ekko would easily be fixed with removing a slow somewhere, maybe his W no longer slows beforehand but reveals that target area much earlier so it's more of a revealing ability and would remove one of his annoying many perma slows.

Assassins going tanky are fine to me except ekko and diana since they have reliable AoE CC but unlike diana ekko has much much more in-kit that goes hand in hand with what a tank/bruiser has while diana is just a pull-in and shield on 2 separate buttons.

Tanks wanted stronger items. People (not tank players) said that would be broken as we have proof of in the past. Tanks got stronger items anyway. So damage dealers built their items. Combined with better tank masteries it's created a huge balance issue in Season 6.
