Tank fans are NOT asking for more damage - NO TY TO BAMI'S CINDER CHANGES

I loved being able to play a tank when they were viable.

I've never picked a tank with the intention of dealing damage.

I've literally never seen a tank player advocating for tanks to do more damage, either here, or on Reddit, or any Discord server that I belong to.

It feels like its almost been 2 years now, that tank players have been asking for their champions to be made more durable, or at least provide some defense/protection against all the burst damage flying around now.

Nobody has been asking for anything remotely close to these Bami's Cinder buffs.

What the actual hell is going on?

The change makes sense. Tanks lack of damage is what is forcing them out of top lane, and Cinderhulk by comparison to other jungle items is garbage. Bringing Sunfire back into the game, will hopefully put Tanks back in the top lane able to hold their own, whilst improving the QoL of tank junglers to compete with currently viable junglers. Im pretty sure Leona and Ornn will be effected most by this. Leona because its going to open up the option for her to be a serious jungle champion.

What the crowd said: We want tanks to be able to soak damage. What Riot heard: You want tanks to be able to dish out damage? Consider it done.

"we need buffs" "ok here are your buffs" "no ty we don't need those buffs, give us better buffs" Sounds wrong to me

So are you saying you want less armor and mr to compensate the damage buffs? Don't worry 1.5 will definitely do that for you!

The real problem is that this hurts other immobile melee champions the most when tank items were already enough to handle them if played properly.

Meanwhile, ranged champions and assassins are still not gonna care and mages will continue to laugh because fuck MR items I guess.

I think they need a tank variant of the old item 3812 & offcourse a item 3102 version for tanks agan:

item 3140 + item 1011 + 500 = [=2800] UNIQUE – QUICKSILVER: Removes all crowd control debuffs from your champion and grants +15% tenacity [+5% / 25 Bonus MR] for 1 second (90 second cooldown).

item 3211 + item 3067 + 800 [=2800] ** UNIQUE – SPELL SHIELD:** Grants a Spell Shield spell shield that blocks the next enemy ability. This shield refreshes after no damage is taken from enemy champions for 40 seconds.

item 3211 + new[ item 1029 + item 1028 ; inflicting cc will boost your selfhealing by 10% for 2 seconds; 1200] + 400 [=2800] Unique Passive: Delays incomming damage and inflicts it over 5 seconds as an dot instead.

look man here's the thing about all you guys who say no to the hp buff, aurelion sol post rework had too much hp assigned to him, he was the tankiest thing you could hope to lane against. the data is already in, ya'll saying no just cement to me that this community is idiots and riot shouldn't listen to ya'll. so hopefully they fucking don't anymore, we've already seen akali get demoted to minion status for no fucking reason, ya'll don't want functional tanks and you're gonna keep bitching about dmg but don't want hp buffed? yeah i would rather not bother conversing with such confused people.

Just undo the 7.9 tank item gutting and put in the missing resistances from the runes rework.

item 3068 Health 425 -> 500 Armor 60 -> 50

item 3065 Health 450 -> 500 Healing boost 30% -> 25%

item 3102 Made into an anti-burst defensive item again instead of a mage item built in less than 1% of games Recipe: item 3108 + item 1033 + item 1026 + 500g = 2500g -> item 3211 + item 1057 + 530g = 2450g Ability power 70 -> 0 Magic resistance 30 -> 70 Health 0 -> 300 Base health regeneration 0% -> 150%

With their core tank items getting more health, as well as having Banshee's back as a more dedicated anti-AP item in place of the Spirit Visage changes, the other changes from that patch can serve as more fine-tuned options for tanks (those being:) item 3742 item 3143 item 3001 item 3194 item 3193

The rune changes are a post for another time.
