Are You As Tilted With The Tank Meta?

My name's Jasmine, what up? Seriously, this tank meta? I want to know what you guys think because I'm actually really freaking tilted. Here's a scenario, Maokai top, Mordekaiser mid, Blitzcrank support, and obviously their squishy backline adc, and a possible Sejuani or Zac jungle. How do you get to their backline unless you have a Zed or somehow manage to sneak to the back behind the bruisers, and still die to the support who's probably been taking all the kills because they survive longer? Not because they're good. Literally because the game was dumbed down so that bruisers can have a chance to shine without putting in actual work. (Taking 4 turret shots so their entire team can dive and share the turret shots to get even past a tier 2 tower just to kill you.) Don't get me wrong, I love the new items but the favoring of the tank champions is ruining the fun of the game.

I gotta admit some pros about the situation are having to make some pretty strong outplays to survive the tanks and it creates a challenge but ultimately in the end I feel like the tanks will win because turrets will come tumbling down and its very difficult to do anything about it if your laners or junglars are occupied with their own situation.

Edit: I also think this is really unhealthy for new players in the leveling stage because it could confuse them to think they're bad when in actuality they don't have the runes or masteries or power even to deal with their tanky opponent.

Mordekaiser isn't the best to peel for his ally because of his lack of hard cc,he can't stop an assassin to go to his target Rengar Talon Zed Khazix Leblanc Kassadin : these are made for those kind of situations and delete the backline.

(I play morde so i'm happy with the tank meta), but if you would like to melt tanks/bruisers,there's some champion who are specialised in sustained damages :Cassiopeia Vayne Varus (ap is more effective for that,so better get ad in other roles)Brand ,you have juggernauts(Darius Mordekaiser Garen Skarner ) and other strong bruisers who do not fear tanksTrundle Jax Udyr XinZhao Fiora etc..)

The turrets dumbed down also works when you want to complain against assassin: they delete the target so fast the turret doesnt have the time to do consequent damages (mobility,escape etc..) and you need CC to counter them. Are you complaining about tanks doing their job? if you see you can't reach the backline,don't do it,you would just give an easy kill. which reduces the problem to this: turrets are shit

No because nobody is playing tanks. They still pick carries.

I wouldn't call it a tank meta right now. Sure you may be countered by Tankier champs, but while BOTRK remains the way it is, there is no way a tank meta is taking place. I don't think Adaptive helm counters Botrk as it is an Item and not a spell.

Actually you have a good point here of whats going on with the meta. This is actually what the community wanted. The problem IS. That around the cinderhulk meta towers did a bit more damage while now it doesnt. And we have rift herald. If your team picks a poke mage. 2 tanks, a frontline youre all set for a win.

You need to pick a assassin to kill adc, but assassin makes your comp worse to tanks. Feels bad doesnt it? The community really hates the concept of outplay so...here you go.
