Can Armor actually mean something again?

Or do we have to continue submitting the AD master race?

As long as tanks don't do damage, sure.

I don't think people get it. Armor as a mechanic isn't a problem, it's the fact that there is so much armor penetration and shredding that it isn't viable. item 3071 The Black Cleaver alone is an issue since it's a rush item for the wrong reasons.

But then how are the ADCs supposed to melt u in 2 seconds?

One of my recent games I had 550 armor. I mitigated 130k damage and took 25k physical damage. I think it worked as intended.

It already does mean something. You just can't stack it and expect to be invincible.

Can we get actual MR items? I can only build 2 fucking MR on a tank. Adaptive helm and maybe spirit visage, but thats become more of a bruiser item since bruisers can actually compete with mages due to their sustain fighting. Armor isnt the fucking problem when evelynn can deal so much magic damage she does true damage to a tank. AD isnt the problem when any mage just casually does true damage. Xerath for example does true damage regularly, but what tf does he get it from? Nothing. Mages just deal too much goddamn damage. And by mages i mean anyone thats AP or does magic damage as their main source of damage. Can we stop pretending AD classes other than bruisers are actually good? (BEFORE you bring up Yasuo, Hes counted as a bruiser AKA fighter. Hes really just an abomination that shouldnt be mentioned).

Armor is fine you most likely are just not building it or the enemies are just too ahead for it to matter.

I play tanks and can easily say armor is fine. It's mostly mr that's the problem and mix damage like Kai'Sa and ez who both have been building a good mix of ap and ad is really hard to itemization against especially since they're by far the most played adcs.

Like what is gating tanks is the champions themselves are not as good as others and need buffs. If this is not about tanks well idk what your problem with armor comes from.

It already does something. The issue people seem to have trouble comprehending is that tank beats burst, but dps beats tank, and most DPS in the game is physical DPS. Ryze/cass/azir will kill a tank fast as fuck too regardless of their MR. Thats kinda their job as DPS mages (pretty sure ryze is still a dps mage after his latest mini rework)

Riot can't have that because it would interfere with all the 12 year old assassin mains and their desperate need to fulfill their power fantasy.

Armor is actually valvuable and does do things. Mr on the other hand does not. I get like 5 armor items and I'm unkillable to ads. I get 5 mr items and i still die in 5 seconds. [zombie-brand-mindblown]

litteraly if they would revert the hp nerfs across the board they made to tank items i think that would fix the issue all ppl ever say is duhhh get health get health but they nerfed health a while back about 20% for all tank items.

Armor is supposed to add a nice little layer of protection. You shouldn't be able to stack armor and become invincible. I think armor works as intended right now.
