Tanks are way too strong, it's not fun riot.

Parasom··7 votes·4,160 views

With all these new changes and new items there's no point to playing the game anymore. 3/4 of the champions arent even viable because of this new stupid meta. If this whole game is tank assassins, which are tanks that can't be killed but can do a stupid amount of damage to everyone. What's the point of playing? Riot you keep giving tanks way too much damage. Why are tanks doing damage? This literally makes ADC's worthless because no matter how hard you kite or fight you wont do anything to them and they'll kill you instantly. The only ADC who can do something lategame with this is Vayne.

Titanic Hydra is atmas impaler on steroids. It literally allows tanks to one hit someone for no reason.

Riot if you dont pull your shit together then I wont be playing this stupid game anymore, your balance team is smoking weed every time they make changes. They aren't thought out.

If 3 tanks are on the enemy team it's over, straight over.

Not only that but you guys are removing diversity, by removing all the fun items (rip sword of the divine) and trying to force the meta then what's the point of having all those items? Just have 20 if you want to do this shit, this isn't how you make a good game.

I hope everything gets fixed next patch because if you can't kill tanks but they kill your whole team, how is that fair? Please fix this because it's just out of hand.

I'm pretty sure everyone will agree that tanks are beyond stupid right now.

Lol please I would take a tank meta any day over an assassin meta. Because team fights have to be executed well I can't tell you how many times we have been down 10k and we battle through it because of a word called peel. It is better than 2 sec team fights of who can kill the carry first which is not fun at all.

At least you have champions like Lulu and supports to peel against assassins. It comes down to positioning in teamfights rather than being bursted 100-0 by a Malphite with thornmail.

I would take Darius garen malphite sion all the tanks in the game compared to rengar Leblanc zed etc. I have no problem dealing with tanks they do not one shot squishy with decent supports because they can't even get to them in the first place. I make it my goal if I don't protect my carries I should be punished by these tanks. Don't act like these tanks are in killable because a last whisper shreds them.

Last whisper doesn't shred 600 armor garen with frozen heart and thornmail, and a malphite with 800 armor. Nor any other champion with 300+ armor. Hell, I just saw a full build armor pen Master yi with sated and bork lose to a garen with full tank but a black cleaver. So no, armor pen does not shred them. It just helps tickle them even more.

600 armor Garen inst remotely plausible cause that would requite almost all runes and items to be armor with no hp and no my enough that even an ap support could but fuk him (not instantly but if you are looking to instantly deal with a tank you need to check your self into the nearest mental institution is what i would say if tanks wern't so back in this game riot doesn't want them to have low cool downs cause that's for everyone else don't want them to Have strong shield's cause that's for riven and assassins and mages don't want them to have loads of defense cause then you cant have lcs big plays penta kills, gives some of them mobility but they usually need lots of defense and have no damage flat or scaling and no meaning full cc, if you have meaning full cc you are skill low on defense and mobility) and ad characters can use their spells with out activateing thornmails. and on a team you shouldnt only have to rely on 1 penetration item as an ally could buy black cleaver.

I don't think they should make a meta at all, every champion should be able to get out of any situation if played correctly. I just hate it when I am 12/0 as my favorite champion but a tank with no farm and half the kills can walk up to me and chunk me down for half health(even with health items) in one combo, while I hit them and kite them for a good 5 seconds and only take out a little below 1/4 of their health. If I'm destroying the enemy team, I shouldn't be able to be stopped period, the enemy should be punished for allowing me to get soo fed. Also when it gets to the point where darius can take 5 volleys of an entire teams kit with all of us building against him at full build and still kill 4 of us without consequence mostly due to the fact that he is tanky AND can one shot people is absolutely absurd.

Outside of the occasional CC lock situation I've had no problems with tanks. Are you sure you're not mistaking the term tank with the term bruiser? Bruisers are in an odd place balance wise right now, but tanks are fine.

Parasom2 votes

Bruisers and tanks right now are really one in the same. The only thing different right now is one damage item which still provides health, the black cleaver.

Most "tanks" are just building black cleaver and then going straight tank after that, and 100-0ing people like it's no big deal. Yeah Darius does damage but he has weaknesses because of that. Garen is in a stupid spot and he's getting nerfed soon, yes. But underdog tanks too. Volibear's with titanic and sterks gage killing everyone lategame. Full tank rengars not needing any damage items because of titanic hydra's active being able to 100-0 people.

It's not fun.

They day I see a Black Cleaver on an Amumu is the day I'll believe you.

Bruisers and Tanks are very, very different things. People mistaking the terms for one another really has to stop.

Parasom1 votes

The way I see tanks are the only way dying is by Vayne or 10 people. 90% of champions who build tank have abilities complimenting that and thus makes them unkillable, so if they build a black cleaver then they'll be able to deal a lot of damage and be unkillable. It's not different, a full tank vs a tank with a black cleaver. Bruisers/tanks alike. Right now, they're the same thing.

redniwediS2 votes

Just because you don't see the difference doesn't mean two terms which have two different definitions are referring to the same thing.

Every season since Force of Nature was removed has had people who don't understand the difference between a bruiser and a tank, please don't be one of them.

Parasom1 votes

Either way tanks and bruisers alike are stupid right now. You can't deny that.

assassins and vayne are stupid right now ill give you that much

100-0 people is an indicator of being able to burst some one like an assassin i do agree that titanic has a large 15% (i personally want to see it at 8-10% overlay-able with the passive) you really should not be able to beat a tank 1v1 if the game was balanced and he is able to get his damage off cause then there would be no need for penetration items. and you seem to be talking about carries and squishy ranged people who people refuse to build damage on and cry when get bursted down despite the tons of mobility and or cc they have and their general design of being behind a wall of their teammates. but sadly the game isnt balanced riot doesnt seems to care much for the team aspect of the game cause much like the players everyone want to fight and do things on their won and doesnt want to work together to get toward the goal.

LordGeovanni1 votes

there is no way that tanks are a problem because pure tanks can die 1v1 even with out penetration items and if a tank can be killed in 8-13 odd seconds with a full build versus an adc or a mage 1v1 high end with out penetration items low end with penetration items and they have to stand in the front of a 5 man team and take all the poke that that team does how long does he last. riot doesnt even make penetration items nessicary versus tanks and nor do you need multiple ones but if your team does then a full built tank might as well be a fighter with 2 defense items or an assassin with 1 in terms of defense and never reach that in terms of offense
