What's the point in picking Jarvan or Lee anymore if you can just pick Sejuani? I get that people are sore about bruisers being dominant in previous patches but to me there's no point in picking a bruiser anymore... tanks are simply better as they bring more CC and more damage in the mid game
TotalJerk5 votesTop lane. 5.5 did literally nothing to top lane tanks.
Leti the Yeti2 voteswat do we mean "nothing?"
the stunning performance of tank's jungle brethren raised the morale for tanks everywhere the placebo effect is increasing the performance of tank players!
3 cheers for our heroes - tanky junglers!
FirstSergeantBim2 votesThat's a good question, but I think the real question should be: Why pick a durable champion that doesn't have at least two forms of reliable hard CC?
The reason you're seeing the community discover or rediscover tanks is because the ones that are in the spotlight have hard CC and people are finally realizing coordinated hard CC is how you win games. All of this Mundo nonsense has baffled me for the longest time. Like, why would you pick him over Sion or Sejuani? I want a champion that can actually protect my carries, not just tickle them a little.
MrSlowDie2 votesThe game is changing guys. It's like when you can't pick melee in top lane aside from irelia, rumble, and riven.
WukongMain1 votesyes, its rather stupid when a tank can out-dps a bruiser....
Jaygo411 votesi love tanks as much as the next guy, but when it's to the point that there's no reason for me to pick jarvan because amumu does more damage then what the hell lol

EvilRabbitt1 votes%hp on tanks so good. Tank Malz so strong.
WukongMain1 votesfirst you pick 
then you build these items 
watch as the tanks die a horrible painful...death.
WukongMain1 votesWarning Note : This build is untested. i just thought the random items that deal %hp and stuff.
Tryce Maxwell1 votesConsidering how long tanks have been completely shafted, about time they did something
Jaygo411 votesThey've had so much CC for the longest time but their stats and performance have shown why they remain reliable... this patch just pushed this reliability to the forefront, and any team that gets in front with a tank is going to stay ahead.
why oh why should i pick lee if i can have 4300 health at 25 minutes on sion?
Lean into it1 votesthats why shes getting nerfed tanks arent supposed to be beefy, have tons of cc, and do lots of damage at the same time someone like naut is a beefcake and cc monster, but does jack shit for damage
Jaygo411 votesit's the liandry's that pushes her over the edge for damage, and i think it's her cooldowns on W and E that need to take a hit for there to be a significant impact
skyfall6191 voteswhat tanks are you talking about other then sej. most tanks deal very little dmg but shit load of cc or good dmg but very little to no cc. the bruisers u mention j4 and lee have crazy early game game which is huge on the rest of the game. sej is alrdy booked for nerfs.
Jaygo411 voteshave you played amumu or sion on the new patch? there's no reason for me to pick a bruiser if i can pick one of those two... they get ungodly tanky and they keep the bruisers with the heavy early damage from using it and touching the back line... it's hard to get a Q in on lee or an EQ that won't result in instant death if sion is standing in front of you... might as well pick amumu and flash into the whole team if you really want your engage
skyfall6191 votession cant gank worth shit amumu has always been a noob stomper nothing new there. as lee u can just make their time in the jng a living hell since niether of them an duel or escape from you in a million years unless flash. use your strength to your advantage. tanks are better teamfighters they have always been. lucky for you teamfighting is only one part of the game and there are many other ways to play the game effectively.
FirstSergeantBim1 votesYou must suck with Sion if you think he can't gank worth shit. The guy can run across half the map and lock everyone down in lane twice with two giant AoE stuns. Not only that, but even if the enemy gets back to their turret they aren't safe because Sion can siege at 1500 range using the enemy's minions. In what world is that shit? L2P, noob.
skyfall6191 votession jng is not good for his ganks, if you saying he is then your a funny fella. he is good for how well he synergies with cinderhulk. yes he can ult from across the map but 7 out of 10 times you will miss from such range(watch you bull shit and say durrr nah i land all my cross the map ults).
FirstSergeantBim1 votesI must be a funny fella because I think Sion has some pretty godlike ganks. All it takes is a little coordination from your team and he can land his ult, it's not that hard. Even if he doesn't land it, he can zone the enemy away from safety allowing your team to secure a kill. This isn't rocket science bro. Cinderhulk came out a week ago, but he was good before that. You know that right?
TotalJerk1 votesSion Jungle has the highest winrate in the game right now.
Ult is on a 36 second cooldown at max rank and max CDR. Even if you're missing, this means Sion can cover HALF THE MAP every 36 seconds. If you can't hit them with the ulti, you can either R early to get the AoE slow, or go behind them to block off their escape route. His amazing sustain even before cinderhulk means he can pressure lanes far more often than most other junglers.
Pryotra1 votesMost bruisers still outdamage most tanks. Outliers will be outliers, but at the end of the day, Tanks got their second wind in the jungle finally. Top lane did not change. Deal with it.
Rinky Dinky1 votesIf that was true, they wouldnt still be picked, and they are.
Bruisers have FAR superior early games, and can carry themselves.
