I feel like tanks a pretty strong right now. (not OP) Yet i feel like getting a team to draft one is a struggle. I don't mind doing it sometimes, but i feel like i have to play it every game or we just wont have one. Bot lane supports are spamming mages, and top laners are playing fighter(s) of the sort. Is Poppy hard to play? I feel like shes super strong, but as a jungle main idk if its worth picking her there.
SGT Dingle Berry2 votesI've been boggled over this same issue! Tanks are so annoying right now but my team always ends up something stupid like Teemo top, Shaco Jungle and Lux supp.
Anags1 votesShaco jungle is really strong if they have any idea how to play it. Why would you not want one on your team?
Anags2 votesTanks are good and can be annoying but they need a team to follow them up. If their team sucks it really doesn't matter what they do normally.
So people normally want to play a fighter or carry so they can do more by themselves.
Xavanic1 votesIt always the enemy team that gets the tanks from what ive seen, and poppy isnt hard to play, and her jungle clear is absolutley retarded, she can actually clear with nearly full hp and not use a single pot, its just her w timing and e positioning, along with not saving enemies with your ult
Dreadlocks1 votesI dont see even the enemy team having tanks, if i do its like 1 tank out of 10 players..
Xavanic1 voteswhenever i play its kha jng and yas top on my team with a zyra support while they have naut support, heca jung and darius top
Escheton1 votesJust pick Nautilus. He's sleeper OP.
BastionKross1 votesTanks are like supports in that they don't have as much agency as other carry-oriented classes. They can initiate or peel like a god, but at the end of the day if their team just isn't on the same page it's hard for them to carry themselves.
Also, don't believe all this hype about "tank meta" or "tanks are strong". Outside of Poppy (who got nerfed last patch, and is about to receive another nerf with all the other tanks when the CoC nerf patch goes through) tanks really aren't very strong. People tend to confuse juggernauts, divers, bruisers, and assassins built like bruisers with tanks and then claim they're overwhelming. "Tank Ekko" isn't a tank, he's a bruiser.
Bottom line: If tanks were indeed so strong right now, more people would be playing them. No one is, outside of Poppy. Back in season 5 when Cinderhulk made tanks strong, you rarely saw a team comp that didn't have 1 or 2 tanks in it. That is what a tank meta looks like.
