"Tank Meta"

This new patch has ruined tanks now. I can't play a game without running into an anti-tank/true damage champion on the other team. I can't play my favorite champions anymore because all of their items have been nerfed to the ground and Riot refuses to do anything or take advice from the community about it. LeeSin now does damage to the entire enemy team based off one tank's bonus HP. Can't wait to see him every game, especially since he is free this week. Also doesnt help that All the armor items (the items that actually do something against the devourer meta that is coming) are being nerfed. The MR items got buffed but that doesnt help anything. A tank is supposed to be able to take a bunch of normal sustained damage. That means AA, Physical damage, etc.

Riot can't figure out that now all tanks are even more useless than they were before the patch. Now we get to have the pleasure of seeing Vayne LeeSin Garen in every game. So much diversity. Not to mention that I bought almost all of the tanks that are now useless because I cant use items that were meant for sustain anymore.

Riot: "Want more HP regen? We have to take half of your armor, and your passive's main use in order to get that to happen. Want more MR? We have to nerf the armor items first. Oh, What's that? You wanted to actually be able to play tanks? Well we have to give every other champion 500000000 items that do %HP damage/armor shread + physical damage in order for that to work."

This is Riot's balance team. I will not be playing this patch. I miss my tanks and hate this new meta.

"almost" I played in 3 games today since the patch launched. He has been in every one. His pick rate went from 14 to 6 in one patch. One patch.

I still see tanks do well in every game. Maybe you are doing something wrong?

I don't. Maybe its just elo difference. Bronze doesnt see much good assassin play. But at even silver tanks are getting massacred by slightly behind assassins.

to be fair, in garens case the changes barely affect tanks.

the villain will usually be one of the carries, so theyre gonna get wrecked by the ult. but since tanks usually dont grab many kills themselves they shouldnt suffer from the true damage.

hes become more of a counter to snowballing bruisers and carries.

Well I banned him in one game so "almost" is correct.
