So I'm insanely confused....

Ok this may be my Bronze showing by posting this but i'm confused about something and no ones been able to help me really. My issue is that everytime i build tanky (usually more armor than MR) I still get shredded by sources of AD... However... when i have the same build as an adc (with armor pen, and anti-health items), and the enemy tank has the same build i had when i built tanky, I tickle them. I guess overall the question i'm asking is... why does it feel like the numbers dont add up for me? I'm well aware i'm doing something wrong, I just have no idea what else I can do with itemization besides building item 3036 and item 3153 on adc's because even when they are built i'm completely shut down by item 3075 + item 3143 But then when I build the previously mentioned armor items, i'm completely shut down by the previously mentioned adc items.

Usually when I ask this question the answer is typically "Because your bad" but honestly this is a game where the damage output is based on numbers... you cant more skillfully auto attack/use abilities lol. Its not like this game rewards style points :P

maybe its because if the enemy adc can commit to dps you, then they will deal a fuck load of dmg. But when you play adc, you dont get a chance to commit like that because of other threats.

It's really just hard to say without seeing the builds and gameplay, but I will point out that ADCs are better than most classes at killing tanks.

no but just being able to dodge one skill or not get stunned by vayne or minion damage its so hard to put an actual value to this since it would just be based on where the fight started and if you were both full hp and runes and masteries there is just to much that can be different but thats mostly it

The interaction you are likely seeing is them being higher level than you. A JG / Top will normally be higher level slightly unless they get fed and then they are much higher. Remember that level plays a huge amount in how much dmg is done / reduced.

yeah it could be situational and i just cant quite put my finger on it because i'm not seeing the entire picture... But thanks these have all been WAY more legitimately informative than anything I have gotten in the past at least :D

It depends a lot on the champ kits, too. If you're just AAing with, say, Miss Fortune (no W up) against a Malphite with Randuin's and Thornmail, you're going to see way worse results than if the enemy adc is playing Vayne and you're playing Evelynn with Randuin's and Thornmail.
