Tanks pretty useless with Lethality ontop of true damage

Ikeinator··2 votes·1,277 views

Between true damage and Lethality tanks either need 10,000 health and 700 armor/MR or they just melt in 4 to 6 attacks. This has a massive impact on the gameplay for people who main tanks.

I realize people need a way to kill tanks but when a tank has a full build it shouldn't just die from 4 attacks.

Lethality does absolutely nothing to tanks, it is flat reduction. A full lethality build negates one armor item, at most.

Lethality is not very good against tanks though.

True damage is honestly especially from last season, tanks seem far tankier then they have been in a while.

2 games ago against full AD we won 4v5 after Rammus disconnected and my Yasuo went 0/9. They surrendered after realizing they could no longer kill me after getting 436 armor. I started 1/5/0 this game btw.

You did that without Thornmail, holy fuck that is hilarious.

I don't really like thornmail unless I need grievous wounds. Randuin's is better defensively and the active is really useful in team fights.

But the lol factor of AD champions killing themselves on you is great.

i mean you were a rammus vs a jungling udyr...udyr took 1 dragon..he was bad he should have eaily had 2 to 3 dragons over a rammus.

I was not Rammus. Rammus disconnected. I was Taric.

Still that udyr does not understand how the new dragons work or he would have got 4 of them for the mega buff.

Udyr can't get dragons when my bottom lane was winning pretty hard and keeping it warded. You need bottom lane pressure to get dragons if the enemy keeps them warded.

idk man. i almost had 1,000 armor and 400MR (def curl) with rammus and people like vayne or yi with any leathality/rageblade will wreck me no problem.

40% penetration makes that 1000 armor more like 600 thats uhh...more like 3 items worth of armor...sounds pretty good to me.
