Tanks are an unhealthy stat check

Shadow Hazard·Jun 4, 2016·3 votes·793 views

These guys yes don't have the top lane wet noodle fights anymore, since they all have %health damage and/or damage that directly scales with tank stats with many of them have some bonus method of survival through massive healing. But against any non tank they are a stat check that they always win on. It is annoying that these guys are able to confidently yolo 1v5 and can realistically come out with an ace, and playing as them, it doesn't feel like I'm the one protecting my team, I am carrying, I'm not outplaying my enemies, it is just that I outstat everyone.

the thing I hate about them so much is that, with an assassin, such as leblanc or zed, or an adc, such as vayne or draven, you have to work your ass off to outplay people and win 1v2's/1v3's, or even 1v1's against someone real fed.

Yet this tanks press a few buttons, trying to walk away from the 4 people that are chasing them, and they do MORE DAMAGE than the 4 champs chasing them. Like WHAT THE FUCK HES NOT EVEN ATTACKING AND HES DOING MORE DAMAGE WITH SUNFIRE AND ALL THAT.

Yes, that's why I cringe every time someone complains about assassins or adcs, you know classes that actually take skill? Tanks require absolutely NO SKILL since you are not punished for anything you do. It's a retarded class that needs gutting to the point where picking a tank is an instaloss.

League of Tanks literally has no counter because tanks do the same (if not more) damage then "carries", all while building tank.

No they don't, largely speaking.

Mundo and Volibear are fighters.

Vladimir is a mage.

Shut up. If it builds tank items, its a tank. Its not rocket science.

I wouldn't really call Sion or Zac anywhere close to stat checks. Sion has a lot of stuff with counterplay and Zac also has tons of counterplay. Both also have decent counter building. Amumu, Mundo, and Maokai are kind of, Vladimir is somewhat but not really (also not a Tank), but Malphite and Volibear I have to agree are pretty huge stat checks.
