this game the zac went full tank besides a rylais, but i usually dont see zac's its the malphites and the rammus and the dyr and the naut and etc. How is it that these champs consistently do massive but nothing but tank items, and even if one item is offense, they still shouldnt be able to do crazy. Just seems dumb to me defense are less expensive and more effective that offensive items.

Well tried to upload the picture but didnt really know how any ways zac builds and does 52k dmg makes no sense to me, and he was on my team so dont think im just raging i just dont think that thats right at all.

Because, this isn't league of tanks. It is league of AD marksmen/assassins/fighters. Who can burst/ignore/outsustain-in-fights meta. (respectively)

Both offensive items and defensive items increase a champion's combat strength.

Champions without offensive items can kill champions without defensive items (and vice-versa).

True facts.

If their team had purchased some MR (i.e. Spirit Visage, Mercurial Scimitar, Maw of Malmortius, Abyssal Scepter, Aegis of the Legion), his damage would have plummeted.

Another factor most consider is that tanks aren't priority targets. As such, they will likely stay alive for a significant amount of time in fights, allowing them to repeatedly apply their (often AOE) damage multiple times.

Meanwhile, squishy carries will often be focused down during fights due to how much damage they can potentially deal when left alive for any significant duration.

Tahm kench is guilty of this, especially if you build a titanic hyrdra on him. Garen and Darius can both go black cleaver then full tank and be almost unkillable if you don't have a hyper carry. Fiora can build the same but true damage is so fun to play against XD The sated junglers usually go sated devourer, rage blade, steraks and two more tank items. Tank akali can crush faces cause spellvamp and low cooldowns are fun. Basically if you build damage into a juggernaut building tank they'll out trade you every time.. unless you're stupidly ahead and even then I played a game as hecarim top against garen.. was 3/0 more cs so I built damage to keep rolling, I got marked as villian, he had a chain vest and spectres cowl.. turret dove me with ridiculous true damage and got out alive XD Another example is me being behind in a game playing khazix, my max health is about 1700.. for some reason I was marked as the villian... he finished me off with his ulti dealing 900 true damage.. unless the death recap lied that is. Anyways I wish they would just revert the entire juggernaut rework, it's turned the entire game on it's head with adcs building steraks to the full tank garens.

Tanks?

I barely even see true tanks anymore... everybody just goes AD champs that deal dmg and build them tanky instead. -.-
