Why is this still broken and allowed in 2019? Go full tank items, still pour out massive damage

Why can a Yorick build :

Guardian Angel ZZRot Dead Man's Plate Steraks Gage Spirit Visage Trinity Force

that's 5 tank items out of 6.

Why can this Yorick build that and STILL end up with 60k damage, twice as much as anyone in the game?

Why the fuck is this tanky meta still being allowed?

If you build full tank, you should not be doing much damage. That is how it should be. People should be forced to buy more damage items if they want to do damage.

This is really frustrating. This game has been out for years and this shit is still going on.

Guardian Angel

Not a tank item.

Steraks Gage

Not a tank item.

Trinity Force

Not a tank item.

And one of his items has to be boots. So 4 out of 6 items are not tank items. That's pretty standard for most bruisers.

The only way for yorick to deal that much damage in a match means his opponents weren't good at all. You have to be inting him for him to deal that much damage. The champion or his build is not the problem, it's the pure lack of skill.

If you build full tank, you should not be doing much damage. That is how it should be. People should be forced to buy more damage items if they want to do damage.

And that is exactly how it is currently.

So, he sold his boots? And GA is not a tank item, only glass cannons like ranged dps and melee assassins, and some fighters get it.

First, don't feed. Second - of course, he will deal damage, if you have no defense. What you want - to be a glass cannon that takes no damages, wow. The build that you described can be hard kited once he engages, because Yorick has no mobility and no boots. And the meta is around setting up 1shot combos, nothing to do with extended fights.

"If you build full tank, you should not be doing much damage. That is how it should be. People should be forced to buy more damage items if they want to do damage. " If you build a melee with more damage than that Yorick built you will die instantly, with the game set up that way melees need base damages especially when their only utility is a wall and a mediocre small aoe slow.
