Shh, don't go against the circle jerk. It hurts their feelings.

They will silence you otherwise if you do.

Not sure what the whole "better buff Trynd" thing is about when Trynd's WR and playrate are both lower than Renekton's

AhristocatsJan 1, 201816 votes

because trynd needs a rework, but is getting buffed by meddler with yi

AbibyamaJan 2, 20182 votes

Yi is understandable at least, but Tryndamere is a no go zone

GayFluffyUnicornJan 2, 20181 votes

Cuz toplane isn't fixed by buffing a champ who needs a rework anyways. We need a keystone especially for fighters, better stat distribution, a new tree or atleast some minor runes. Actual stat buffs for MR and armor. It's a joke melees are on par with a lot of squishies.

We ask riot to fix toplane and make bruisers playable and they come and buff trynd and yi and call it a day.

SpoofghoulJan 4, 20181 votes

we need at least 1 more tree

we have 3 damage tree's for different damage playstyles catering to most types of carry champs

and then we have 1 tree which is shared by tanks fighters and partially supports

it's a weird tree and it has some useless options in it as well as some restrictive ones

Can't believe Shen is more popular than my boy Sion .

AhristocatsJan 1, 20183 votes

bear none,your boy sion is at least more popular than darius and renekton

SujirenJan 1, 20181 votes

Darius is a bad champion, pretty much every Darius main on op gg , is stuck around D2 elo,which is probably the highest you can reach before you have to switch to a good champion.

Troll for TrumpJan 2, 20181 votes

Uh dude "your boy" Sion's mains on op.gg are also diamond 2 - diamond 1. At least one Darius main got to masters

SujirenJan 2, 20181 votes

Uh Hello Tilterella youtuber that got me into playing Sion had like 4 accounts into challenger during season 7, he is Sion main.

Troll for TrumpJan 2, 20182 votes

And I'm sure there's a darius one-trick somewhere that has 4 challenger accounts too.

Point being, you used the listing of op.gg mains being at an average of diamond 2 to claim that darius is a shitty champ.

I'm using the same strat on Sion.

Neither is innately shit

Darius became bad when they broke adcs. He was fine as aproper tank buster to deal with the walls of shit called tanks toplane. ANd he was EASILY abused by other fighters like Irelia/Riven/Rene/Jayce.

Every fighter is garbage because of how broken adcs are considering i consistently saw him in high tiers around master and i myself had an account of 71% winrate in d2 with him. But now even in plat you gonna have a rough time unless you go 5-0 in lane and rush randuins 2nd to deal with the 2 item hyperbullshits. Also i only know bostytv atm from high tier darius players and Adzioo if he still plays.

Ornn was tossed into the dumpster after his nerf.

He's currently sitting at a 48% win rate. http://na.op.gg/champion/ornn/statistics/top http://champion.gg/champion/Ornn/Top?league=

rtbf90661456Jan 1, 20183 votes

none of this has anything to do with maokai or ornn

AhristocatsJan 1, 201815 votes

it does, because it shows that there are other tanks played top, unlike what the boards are rumoring

rtbf90661456Jan 1, 20182 votes

oh, i thought this was another one of those "ornn and maokai are too op we need soemthing done wah"

Troll for TrumpJan 2, 20181 votes

When did the boards say that? I thought there were a lot of people complaining about too many tanks being in top lane and bruisers being a joke

is a complete lie

2 semi decent tanks in toplane (shenpai and moakai both are currently lower than 50% winrate) and 1 strong and 1 decent in the jungle (rammus and sej) does =/= a tank meta.

legit on the frontpage

honestly I'd feel like the boards would be a better place if we just permabanned the 7 or so players that upvoted that thread.

They're part of the silent upvote circlejerk of bad ideas and misconceptions that has been poisoning the game for a while.

Troll for TrumpJan 2, 20181 votes

Yeah I just saw that.

True it isn't a tank meta, but top lane tanks are outclassing bruisers pretty hard. Ranged top laners are still being a plague.

Top lane as a whole is also pretty much a joke

RalanrJan 2, 20182 votes

Imo top lane hasn’t been relevant for a long time.

Season 6 is when it started losing relevance imo.

Troll for TrumpJan 2, 20182 votes

I wouldn't even say as late as that. More towards the end of s5, when Juggernauts got controlled and Riot released the marksman update.

It hasn't been relevant since then, but it's still gotten worse

Just because 1 or 2 people say something doesnt mean you need to make a whole thread about them. Instead you should reply to them in what they said.

If you're trying to argue that tanks are really good right now and prove to people that its not just those 2 tanks dominating then im sorry and 100% agree with you, I find the games that i dont have anyone to soak up damage are the ones i lose more in.

GayFluffyUnicornJan 2, 20181 votes

The problem is, i just debunked one guy yesterday who posted completely false stats i crosschecked on three different imo reliable sites who had 30 upvotes at that comment for "lul tanks so good" and posting again completely false stats and no other source or explanation whatsoever. Due to timezone difference i answered 14 hours later, you think anyone read my comment? It's good rubick made that post.

chipndip1Jan 1, 20183 votes

Renekton's a fighter, but what's the issue with tanks being played top?

AhristocatsJan 1, 20189 votes

i'm just done of people telling me that ornn and maokai are the only tanks played top right now

also ornn is broken

GayFluffyUnicornJan 2, 20181 votes

The issue is tanks literally being counterpicks to bruisers/fighters. Not only the infamous mao and ornn but a lot of others. I watched some noway4u games today. In high masters playing with exileh for example and other LCS guys very high elo players. Legit just malphite picked into camille to cockblock her and it wasn't the first malphite pick i saw in that elo today. Boards try to tell you no tanks are picked EVER above silver 5 and mao and ornn aren't even that strong.

TL;DR: Tanks outclass, outsustain and outscale fighters right now, even beating them in laning phase. That's the problem.

PoskeJan 2, 20182 votes

When did renekton become a tank?

Meep ManJan 2, 20182 votes

He isn't. He was pointing out how weak he is.

The Yetii RiderJan 2, 20182 votes

Going to point out that whether Shen is really a tank or not is very debatable. He doesn't have good base stats, he lacks armor and MR scalings, he only has one two forms of crowd control and one of them is really annoying to pull off, and he rushes a juggernaut item item 3748 .

better buff trynd

Thanks god yeah

vincentwu123Jan 2, 20181 votes

People dont talk about ornn or mao anymore lol. Its not tank meta anymore, its jungler meta.

Lee sin, Shyvana, J4, Kha are all being spammed in jungle because theyre broken as shit and can 1v5.

Shyvana cant 1v5 for her life.

greekvandaLJan 2, 20181 votes

Lee is garbage outside master he only works low elo because of new runes gimping his dmg off the charts. Shyvana can be kited to oblivion. J4 is retarded(needs more nerfs) Kha is decent in low diamond where people think they are god and split and get killed.

GayFluffyUnicornJan 2, 20181 votes

Legit just i make the same comment i did yesterday: rammus, taric, leona, malph, mao,cho,ornn, alistar, sion, shen, tahm kench, thresh are all meta and played right now. Seju as well in the jungle. Don't know how much more tanks need to get played before people realize how strong they are? Kha is the only broken one of these.

AbibyamaJan 2, 20181 votes

I think that the Ornn and Maokai are the only OP tanks. It’s just some people here claims that “all tanks are op”

Sun Wu RyuumokuJan 2, 20181 votes

fck tanks... Totally unrelated to trynda shit !! Fck him too, rework him already let him in deep sh*t until this.

pls end the tank meta :( adc and assassin meta( besides censor) didnt last very long and no matter how fed u get early it doesn matter whoever has more tanks wins the game. i cant win with any of my best champions anymore ive won 2/12 games on rengar 16/30 kata 25/45 zed*[sg-ahri-1]*
