An age where a full AD team has nothing to fear from a team building Armor on everyone

Just goes to show

How useless Tanks are
How useless defenses are compared to building damage. Defense is Expensive, and weak.

Been playin since Season 1 and in earlier seasons (1-5) mostly if ever i was in an full AD team id think "Fuck, lategame where screwed if they build armor", or if against "Hey team, hold out till late, build some armor, and they will be useless"

Now a days that means squat. Thinking and skill expression is dead. Its a URF headbutt competition of who has the most damage and it just sucks.

But tanks LOVE full AP team even if most of them are sustained damage since AP don't have a equivalent of Black cleaver, conqueror don't work with well with most AP, and multiple liandry user doesn't stack (which is built by most sutained AP carry)

yeah i remember if the enemy team did a risky draft or drafted poorly you could win if you stalled late.

not the case anymore lol.

See so many posts say this, but almost every other game the enemy team has a tank that builds tanky and I'm just always thinking "Holy fuck why can't I scratch them" Or during the cleanup of a fight "Jesus we're all 5 hitting him why won't he just die" and my favorite "Why is he 3x a durable as me but does more damage"

2014 - LoL is fun game. You can build your champions in a way they will be most effective with lots of items that are distinctive and fit any role 2019 - 200 items. You'll buy only 6 exactly the same ones. Game after game after game after game. On every champion. The only class left in this game is damage dealer. Even if you are supposed to be a support.

Tanks: Nothing feels worse than being outscaled and instagibbed by assasins late game

Do you have specific examples of this happening without the full-AD team being at twice the kills of the armor-stacking team?

"Thinking and skill expression is dead"

but also

"I miss when the only thinking I had to do was, 'buy armor.'"

So you're asking for a game to be decided by stats rather than proper positioning and mechanical skill.

I feel like PTA is a problem and so is cleaver when it comes to how fast tanks die. Maybe if they made cleaver flat armor pen instead of %...Or if it only benefited the user? IDK because I didn't like tank meta either, I talked shit to tank players that didn't realise how busted their champs were, and how little skill tanks needed compared to bruisers back then.

It's not as easy as we all want to make it sound to have all classes be equally relevant
