Tanks and support is slowly getting phased out. The traditional tank champs have crazy damage and can melt you, and they arent as tanky as they once were. Supports are now doing crazy damage and are largely damge heavy champs like brand, lux, pike ect. Why do garen renekton ect have so much damage? They used to be fighter type champs witj decent all around stats. Now they deal damage as if they were assassins in season 7. Assassin damage is just stupid. Kayne just runs around 2 shotting people mid game. How does renekton kill with one combo yet is so tanky he cant be bursted, AND has a gap closer, AND, has stun?!?!?!?!? That is just one example.

The game is kind of a deathmatch until the respawn timers are too long to adequately defend the base. It seems any champ has the damage to kill you instead of playing a specific role within the team. Roles are becoming less defined, which makes the game more generic and less special. This is so bad that a team of kat, kayne, jhinn, teemo, and brand is actually viable just from sheer damage potential. No strategy just click and kill. Its about who hit who first, opposed to who set up a gank, or who set up an objective , or properly engaged a team fight.

The problem I see is that team-reliant strategies are much harder to pull off with how easy it is to kill people right now, thus explains why tanks seem ineffective. However, if your team coordinates with your tanks, you will absolutely defeat an opposing burst comp.

The tanks must build tank items and defend their damage dealers, and use their abilities to prevent the enemies from ever reaching their backline (or be heavily punished/killed for trying). The damage dealers need to stay with their tanks and position safely, and in that safety, can do as much damage as they want until the job is done.

Same can be said for enchanters, except they’re much harder to pull off as squishy champions. However, if they position properly and safely aid their frontline in combat, the battle is in their favor. It’s just a lot harder to do now since everything is punishable with sudden death. ^^’
