Why Can People Who Build No Damage, Deal Tons?

Youre playing tank. You take Corruption Potion, Grasp, Inspiration. You have and , 1 ability does 10% of my health. One auto does 5% of my health. You have no worries about mana because of Corruption potion. You have no cooldowns because youre a tank. My autos do 1% health, my full combo abilites do 25% of your health and i lose 80% of my mana. Which you can gain all your health back from 2 corruption potions and resolve.

This is just pure evidence of how absurd damage is right now when you can build 0 damage items and runes yet deal more damage than damage casters. Nerf damage already, this season is trash, nobody likes it. We have asked since pre season to nerf damage, and you still have yet to do it.

they didn't have 0 dmg items/runes corruption potion does dot if they hit a champ while drinking it, and grasp does 4% of their max hp as magic dmg. with tanks usually having a higher hp pool than damage casters it is going to do more than 4% max hp before mr.

Tanks have high base damages and low scalings, if you are losing lane against one play safe and build a cheap defensive item like chain vest or something mr (drawing a blank on names right now lol) until you hit a power spike or can roam.

They have no damage items. You have no defensive items.

The game is designed so that damage outscales defense.

Unsurprisingly, this affects base damage and base durability too.

Because if tanks deal no dmg they're useless..

If a single ability is only dealing 10% of your health, thats not a lot. If you have 1000 Health, thats only 100.

You have no cooldowns because youre a tank.

This is false. Its actually quite the opposite. Most Tanks have considerable cool downs.

Its likely you are playing the match up wrong if you are using all of your mana like that and having so little effect.

Tanks are designed currently to do that. % damage vs to keep them relevant as tanks. Without the damage, they couldn't farm, or be relevant in any way.

One tank DOES offend me though..... because he legitimately is broken in his engages: Malphite

He can knock 90% of a character's HP off in one ult..... on no items at all. That's really annoying, especially when you should be at a safe range and he suddenly R's you and you find you're not.

Conversely, why do you think people who build no resists should be tanky?
