I wish it was possible to win a game without tanks

Hard to have fun when tanks are required to win a game in LoL.

Everything depends on their initiation. And if your teams tank is underfarmed/leveled and the other teams tank is well off youve already lost the game.

Funny, I feel the same about ADCs.

Guess which is always meta?

Just another Fluffychan thread. We should move on.

Why do you think I made this thread?

Double standards, everywhere.

Well for one, not really. ADCs are actually more important than anyone else on the team and games are often decided by who has the more fed carry. They are also always meta, something painfully obvious when they are "weak".

And two, you made this thread to annoy the tank and bruiser mains on this board because you crave the attention they give with even simple downvotes.

How about you take off your bias glasses and watch the tanks in the game? Whoevers tank(s) is more effective wins the game. Its as simple as that. The ADC is completely irrelevant. And no "tanks" are not limited to "wardens" and whatever other crap.

Hello pot, my name is kettle.

But in all seriousness, even that's incorrect. We have proplay games without tanks or when the tanks are on the losing team.

Hell, game two of this match up had E8W actually lose despite having more tanks.

Fuffy, most of your posts are filled with anti-tank bias that is pretty much designed to rile people up. I have commented on the power curves of other classes, I have admitted when tanks were strong, when adcs and assassins were weak, etc.

I'm not the biased one here Fuffy, you are. And most of the board accepts you for a troll and an afternoon show.

Why do I care about the top 1% of players? For the other 99% of players who have less skill, tanks win.

And for every thread I make there are 100 filled with anti-ADC bias designed to start a mob and get them nerfed.

Cause the game is balanced around higher elo. Maybe you just aren't skilled enough to beat them?

Sure, there's a bunch of anti-adc bias on the boards. This only proves that you are willfully playing to anger the crowd though. Especially since you don't actually try to keep an open mind on anything.

oh no you mean all 5 roles need to be kinda on their game to win the game? you mean you are only as strong as your weakest player?

what if the adc was beind and the tank was ahead who wins?

what if the jungler was behind but the tank support was ahead?

what if the mid laner was feeding but the tank won lane?

oh its only if your tank is bad you lose?

is that your point ?

My point is that people cry and cry about ADCs when tanks are even more "required" to win since teams often have 2 or 3 of them.

Having a balanced composition is critical and no one brings CC as well as Tanks.

fuffychan1 votes

a "balanced composition" means "a lot of tanks"

Got it.

lets go with top 10 % pick rate champs of each role and see how many are tanks

TOP Fiora 16.32% pick rate Riven 10.72% pick rate Renekton 9.32% pick rate Kled 8.62% pick rate JarvanIV 8.54% pick rate Darius 8.08% pick rate Jax 7.72% pick rate Shen 6.98% pick rate Rumble 6.93% pick rate Yasuo 6.72% pick rate

Jungle

LeeSin 35.17% pick rate Elise 19.69% pick rate Khazix 13.86% pick rate Graves 13.72% pick rate Gragas 10.34% pick rate Nidalee 9.07% pick rate Evelynn 8.13% pick rate MasterYi 8.07% pick rate JarvanIV 7.89% pick rate Zac 6.87% pick rate

MID Orianna 15.88% pick rate TwistedFate 13.72% pick rate Ahri 13.68% pick rate Kassadin 11.65% pick rate Syndra 9.52% pick rate Zed 8.81% pick rate Viktor 8.02% pick rate Anivia 7.89% pick rate Leblanc 7.69% pick rate Katarina 7.20% pick rate

ADC

Caitlyn Lucian Ashe Ezreal Jhin Twitch Varus Xayah Jinx Vayne

supports

Thresh 35.99% pick rate Blitzcrank 23.91% pick rate Lulu 16.89% pick rate Karma 11.75% pick rate Braum 8.83% pick rate Nami 8.47% pick rate Leona 8.33% pick rate Alistar 7.68% pick rate Bard 7.28% pick rate. Zyra 6.80% pick rate.

so 1 top as shen 2 jungle gragas and zac 0 mid 0 adc 4 supports

so in the top 50 champs for each role by pick rate we have a total of 7 that are classified as tanks

Initiation is not exclusive to tanks as a class and I as well as many others have won many games with out them on my team. The difficulties I have had with no tank or bruiser typically come more bad picks and people not considering what would be effective vs enemy picks and work well with teammates picks.

Would it be accurate to say that your frustration is in badly chosen team comps?

”bad picks" means anything thats not a tank Got it.

To remove any uncertainty I want to be clear here, i'd like you to respond to my question which was "Would it be accurate to say that your frustration is in badly chosen team comps?" Your response was dismissive and I find it to be unsatisfactory.

A bad team comp is a team without tanks. I can already tell who will win and lose based on the # of tanks on each side.
