Tank Meta So Boring

Games drag on forever now and tanks are unkillable whilst dealing tons of DPS. I was for buffing the tanks before, now i see why Riot didn't want to. Thanks guys.

To each their own. Some people prefer the fast action of champions who one shot others with a single combo, others prefer a longer, drawn out fight where the conditions surrounding the fight matter more than the fight itself. Things will eventually swing back the way you like it, but for now it is the time of the tank mains.

It's said both ways, though the way I wrote it is far, far more common in modern times (with "modern" meaning the last 300 years).

Have to be more flexible in your picks. Tank killers are in a great place at the moment due to the popularity of tanks to kill and to protect them.

KogMaw Trundle Malzahar Amumu MasterYi Vayne and many others are good choices in the current meta.

item 3153 item 3151 item 3071 item 3035 item 3135 should be fairly early purchases as when when dealing with tanks. Probably pick up one of them as your second or third item.

Ashe is another option because of how much peel her team can provide and how many tanks can be easily kited because they lack blinks/dashes. Her DPS is a bit lower than normal due to lack of steroids, but it's still very high after 2/3 items.

Janna is great for disengaging fights and kiting back from the enemy, which can help keep the tanks off your carries long enough to kill them.

has innate percent health damage and armor reduction to help her kill tanks and can serve as initiation, so she's still a strong choice. Especially if you get Black Cleaver at some point.

item 3035 item 3153 item 3135

So did people forget these items exist?

Because they're all everyone seems to talk about when it comes to tanks (literally a month or two ago people were saying tanks are worthless because of those 3 items).

On a side note, very few tanks deal any real damage if you kite properly and have peel, I believe Sion is the absolute highest under all the right circumstances (his full rotation is 1613 damage in just base damage; which he will do when all the planets align once in a blue moon because literally EVERYTHING has to go right for it to happen)

There comes a point where people need to be okay with something being strong, even if it dampens their fun (since its a relatively balanced thing)
