Can we admit the tank updates were the worse and laziest?
so I think it was 2016 when we saw the majority of the "class updates", and the ones we got were.
Juggernaut Marksman Mage Assassin Tank
Marksman gave us
minor reworks
and border line the entire marksman itemization reworked and adjusted in stats.

Medium rework
minor rework
Adjustments

And a complete overhaul in the items, in my opinion this was the largest out of all the reworks and while many complain about malzahar, I find this rework to be a major success that improved league of legends greatly.
The Assassin Rework
Reworked
Minor Rework
Stat adjustments, minor ability modifications

Introduction to Lethality Introduction to many new support items to the point I call this "the mini support update" introduction to invisibility and camo

Lots of things i liked about this update, it has it's problems but I am glad it happened, it did more good than harm in the long run.
But then we have the tank and juggernaut update..

Now I will give this update some slack, while historically being the most hated update because of what it did to worlds, people forget this was also the FIRST update riot ever attempted, and it's what gave birth to the class updates. But I will say this, This update was a travasity and it has left champions like.
In a extremely unhealthy state, that no one likes. Mordekaiser at this point mine as well be the new old yorick. Forgotten by riot and will never receive any actual updates or love.
I wish this patch never happened.
now the tank

Sejuani: Became extremely unbalanced and even more boring to play. Zac: this was actually decent, wont bash this one Maoki: literally all you did was give him a new ultimate lol
Oh and two new items
WOWWWWW
So what am I getting at here..top lane is a mess right now, it's in a "Depression" a giant "Crises" I just want to say. Maybe that's because the two patches that were meant to fix core top lane issues, were the laziest ones out of all the updates im mentioning.
Fuse them together and they are still half the size of the assassin update.
