Tanks seem to just be blatantly unabalanced

Wombytes··1 votes·984 views

Now to start this off I'm a low plat/high gold player so obviously I don't know what is and isn't strong but this is just my opinion.

However currently tanks in solo queue seem to just be overpowered. Every game the highest damage on the scoreboard is always the tank (unless there are cases where mid/adc's get over fed) but in an even game tanks always do the most damage. Some of these champions include Garen, Mundo, Zac and many others. It blows my mind that a tank is able to practically 1 v 9 while being a tank. Their damage is just absurd, I'm not saying I play perfect every game etc. but while playing Vlad the enemy Zac/Garen were able to out damage me by 5-10k. I was 2-5k behind in gold so about one item behind however it just baffles me that they are able to out damage a full damage built mage.

That's my rant over as I'm just seriously confused and considering leaving the game for a while, on top of the amount of bugs I've seen in the last few weeks and now this. I'm just tired of putting up with dumb decisions by Riot.

Garen and Mundo are not tanks. If Zac is topping the damage meter, a lot of people are fucking up.

Well what would you call them? They take immense amount of damage, you could say they are... tanking a lot of damage.

They're classified as juggernauts. Basically tanks with less CC and more damage. Tanks would be champs like leona, sej, braum, etc. who are hard to kill and have a ton of CC, but don't do much damage.

Overpowered? Tanks are practically useless right now!

Garen could run straight at our team (Raka,Jinx,Vlad,Ornn) with his W up giving him tenacity get him by CC then just one show our Jinx without using ult then one shot the raka. While this was happening we were able to get him down to 50% before his team backed him up. While we were equal in items. If thats being useless I want some of that!

Garen also isn't a tank.

I'll give you the same response, he can take immense amounts of damage, you could say he... tanks a lot of damage. Would you count him as a bruiser because if so he is way too tanky for a bruiser.

I would say hes a bruiser or fighter. Similar to fiora or camille. Camille can build the same things as garen and tank just as much damage while dealing the same amount. Not a tank

Garen's a juggernaut. Camille is... overloaded.

Tanks OP? Rofl!!

They have been underperforming for 2 seasons now. Nearly completely absent from top lane outside of 1 champion usually. That class has been shafted for too long. They need to buff them back into relevance for 1 more season at least.

people don't know wtf a tank even is so this thread will go nowhere. mundo is a tank since his inception.

If it's 2 tanks toplane their damage numbers are usually bloated since they have more sustain and less damage than other lanes. This leads to them slapping each other consistently the entire laning phase without either one having to back instantly like a mid or advice might have to.

Also I'm laughing at all the people in this thread calling champs like garen and Mundo and Zac "not a tank"
