Seems like the Tank Meta is still going on

Just saying. Been trying to claw my way out of Bronze 5. And it seems like the enemy team always knows when I'm in a promo to move up a rank. Because that's when I see for game after game, nothing but tanks and maybe to other kinds of champs. Sounds odd right?

Something like: Garen Top Rammus Jungle Leona Support Someone like Zed Mid And lastly let's just get a Jinx cause why not

The top three build nothing but Defense and HP the whole game. By the end of it, they each have over 4k, and even as Kindred or other champions that deal %Health damage, you can't stop them in time or get through them to the ADC or Mid laner because they've CC'd you to death. I mean, if this is how it is, then I should start playing more Tanks and just ruin other peoples fun. Because at that point it litterally feels like there's nothing you can do about it, even with those AD items that deal more damage to an apponent who has more HP then you.

It's just...getting old so fast. I wouldn't mind it if it was once in a time kind of thing, but when they just are all there mowing you down, dealing more damage then you can dish out despite you being an assassin or something, makes you feel helpless and useless half the time. I've tried every way I can think of. Every champ I can think of. But once the tanks come in there's nothing that can be done. Unless the whole team focuses one of them down, but then you still got two more while two people are dealing heavy damage.

It's getting old and boring so fast.

if it were a tank meta we would see 2 or 3 tanks per team mandatory.

like shen top, sejuani jungle, and naut support. we dont.

instead were seeing 3 ADCs per team. and as a result... your team is full AD, so the enemy team just picks someone who scales very nicely with a full armor build and directly counters your whole team

put some magic damage on your team already.

It is a tank meta buddy. You can multiple champion meta, you delusional kook.

"ADCs" are basically building tank also, but keep denying it lmfao. Real scaling ADCs are dead atm.

you mean to say they build just enough damage to kill your carries, and they're playing a champ whos really good at going in, and blowing someone up? and then they proceed to build tank after that so they can ensure once they have their lead that they cant blow it?

newsflash, anyone can do it, its up to you to pick a champ whos good at removing or negating dive champs. like alistar, janna, nami, anivia, azir, cho gath, gragas etc.

and then just keep your carries alive.

I really not seeing your point as real ADCs are dead because their itemization is garbo (save those who abuse the SHIT out of ER) and the rest can get away with tank builds because tank items are too overtuned since Juggernauts.

This. I hate fighting Magic Damage comps because the MR items don't feel as varied as the armor items for tanks. A mainly magic damage team is incredibly powerful right now if built right.

There are lots of champions that counter tanks. Fiora, Kindred, Poppy, GP.

There are champions that can kite so well, that makes tanks useless: Quinn, Graves, Ezreal, Kalista, Tristana etc..

Plus there are some items that counter tanks. Duskblade, Yomummu's , Last Whisper and BOTH it's item paths. Black Cleaver, Maw, Void Staff etc..

All these things counter tanks. It's your choice to choose them.
