Tank Rant

Pixie Storm··2 votes·288 views

I have a group of friends I play league with casually every day, so we encourage each other to play some ranked for improvement. I know every game is not winnable, and I personally strive forward, even when there looks like there is no hope because of games like this: https://i.imgur.com/kBXeEvo.png Where I stole a baron as Rakan literally fills you or your team up with pride, but how many miracles are gonna be pulled like this? The biggest problem with the game right now, I believe, is the crazy amounts of damage tanks are doing. So to keep my team alive in team fights, I'll rush item 3190 followed by, item 3107 and maybe a item 3109 to toss onto my adc. But this gets exhausted. When I don't have enough time to rush these items because of a failed laning phase, the game is about to hit the 15-20 minute mark and the first surrender vote is thrown up. By then, first tower is probably already down, first blood is gone, drake is down, possible rift herald has taken a tower or two. Zed has probably killed your team mates at least once, maybe twice, and your team is being counter jungled. If they have 2 tanks or sometimes even 3 composed of any of the following like: Sejuani Ornn Nunu Zac Malphite Shyvana Warwick JarvanIV Maokai Alistar Nasus The game has seriously decreased in likelihood that you'll be winning it even from champ select. Why? Because despite the tank making a mistake, it's much more difficult to risk your life to punish said tank when they're doing ABSURD amounts of damage. I'm not saying let's nerf the entire class to the ground, that would be ridiculous but there has to be some sort of boundary? I'm just trying to express why I'm a little exhausted with league right now, tanks. Just tanks. Idk I'm just late night ranting because I've had enough with the stupid amounts of damage they're doing. it's seriously not healthy for the state of the game.

What do you guys think? Let's keep it civil ^.^

That's more like it.

Why is this a tank rant? Shouldn't you be ranting about Twitch?

Because believe it or not, Twitch is really not as played as he was before. It's all about Tristana/MF at this point, hell, even Vayne's suffered a little at this point.

Twitch as been one of THE meta pick for the last 2 years, and still boasts strong play rates and win rates.

Vayne is not suffering with her extreme play rate AND win rate, that is only brought closer to line in the recent patch that nerfed her quite a ton; and note "closer", because an extreme play rate and still somehow getting a 50% or so win rate still indicates that she's overperforming.
