Why do people play anything other then tanks or bruisers?

Far superior CC, mobility, tank, damage, and items compared to every other class in the game. Now they have this CoC mastery giving them free shields for half their hp on top of already impenetrable 4000 health.

Because some people know how to build and play properly. :^)

Because a team of only tanks and bruisers isn't a good team composition and will generally lose.

No waveclear to withstand pushes. No ranged ability to take down towers. Too low damage to quickly take baron. Such a team might be able to win teamfights (which they probably wouldn't), but they will lose at objectives against any competent team.

All they need is one Zac jump or Sej ult and they all charge in and rape everything. Every time their cds are up they auto win.

Because a competent team would all cluster together in one place for them to kill?

Yah if they want to defend any objectives.

Superior CC only applies to Tanks, and that depends on the context. Not many Tanks or Fighters can make straight walls, and well placed terrain can easily turn into a fight (or even game) changer.

Mobility is more of a Slayer thing, and no I don't think Nasus is as mobile as say, Yasuo.

Damage is an ADC, Slayer, or certain Mages' thing,

And as far as items? Isn't it publicly considered that Damage Items are almost always better than Tank items?

Nah tank items > damage items. Most tank items are way cheaper and damage only outscales tank stats like super late game.

Which is kinda the point...

Unless you're trying to start a circle jerk on the Boards, in which case you tell them early/mid game damage is way too high.

Honestly I don't feel like arguing in a Caitlyn thread.

The account has been level 7 for months.

They were likely banned for the boards for spam or something and created a sockpuppet.

Kind of but considering how I cant even do shit against a Nunu mid after getting 2 early kills on him because he rushed a tank item... Makes me think if 5 tanks/bruisers might actually be the best comp lol, or at least 4 tanks + Vayne for late/objectives.

Nunu is just weird man. I can't fault that. He ain't a tank though.

More of a Controller, a Disruptor really.

Big Lincoln1 votes

that's mostly because when you get closer to full build Nunu can't do anything except accept death through endless rightclick

tank items RN are mid-game power and worthless later on. even tho it's clearly caused issues multiple times, riot insists on keeping it this way

Play a game of aram and watch what happens when you eventually run into the scenario of 1 team getting a bunch of tanks/bruisers and 1 team getting a bunch of tanks/bruisers and 1 adc.

What kind of question is this?

Because mages exist, that's why
