Hmm...I've noticed something...

Right now. Preseason. What's the thing that posters keep complaining about?

...Well, yes. You're right. Yasuo is being complained about. As is Twitch. And Ezreal. But I wasn't meaning one specific champion.

Damage. There's a lot of burst in the game. So much so that even scuttlecrab is one-shotting, now (or, at least, according to the boards).

But what's the one thing not being played much at all? Despite having some solid runes?

That's right. Tanks. Tanks aren't being played much at all. Given up in favor of the likes of Pantheon, Jayce, and Darius (No idea why this, right now. He's kinda bad). If you listen to the boards, tanks aren't played at all. The biggest counter to burst isn't being played much at all. And it's not because tanks are useless (You can make the case for juggernauts, but not tanks), because they're not. It's because everyone just wants to play damage (like usual).

And, think. Before preseason. What was every poster and their dog complaining about?

Yes, Yasuo was still being complained about. But not what I meant. ADCs being too strong was the most common complaint (with a new "Nerf Twitch" post on the hot page every ~7 hours, if not more frequently).

And what wasn't being played much? Assassins. The biggest counter to ADCs in the game (right above Yasuo or Shen pressing W). According to the boards, they were never played...And not because they were bad. Sure, they sucked a bit in high-tier, and required planning around the Ardent Censer meta, because Lulu could shut you down if you didn't bait polymorph, but they were still just fine.

Now that assassins are being picked all the time (2-3 in every single match), ADC hate has almost died (still the occasional Twitch hate, and Kalista having a toxic kit has resurfaced, but mostly gone).

Maybe, if you want to stop burst, you should just...you know...pick a tank. Obviously not if you're the ADC (since that just doesn't work), but almost anyone else can...Just make sure you bring some burst, to handle their ADC...
