I have never in my life been melted by an assassin while playing a tank.

That's a lie.

Tank update was last year. Either that, or you/teammate/enemy suck at playing tank champions.

That wasn't tank update. That was specifically juggernauts, people who are somewhat tanky and deal a lot of damage, but are kiteable. Tank update will be either midseason 7 or preseason 8.

I didn't mean the Darius, Garen, Morde & Skarner update. The ones where Cinderhulk was introduced.

Brutalitops01Sep 13, 20161 votes

Fairly certain that literally the only change with that was Enchantment Juggernaut to Enchantment Cinderhulk.

The Tank roster update hasn't happened yet. It, as well as Diver and Assassins, was one of the ones talked about doing for the preseason 7. Obviously, Assassins was picked. The Tank roster update will happen either preseason 8 or midseason 7, I'm personally betting on preseason 8 because we know that there are a lot of Diver-type fighters they want to hit - including Aatrox - in that update.

First off, if you're getting bursted by assassins, you're going it wrong. Seriously I play jungle tanks all the time and I take a while to kill. Sion, Skarner, Zac, pick a tank any tank, and build resistances, not just health, and you'll be fine. I'll admit, I melt pretty fast as jungle Sion before I get my resistance items. But after I get them, I become this big beefy wall of choo choo that the enemy team can try all they like to kill, but they won't. If I go into passive, it's because I turret dove with all 5 enemies on me - and my team likely aced them off of that. And that's the point of the tank: to be a wall of fat, a distraction, so that the enemy team focuses you instead of your allies, because let's face it, getting squashed as a squishy little rat (Twitch) or any other ADC isn't fun. Let the tank get squashed instead while you stand in the back and do damage. You're a distraction, not a carry.

Sorry man, you can't complain on forums like this without attracting negative attention. I didn't down vote you though I swear don't point your Lucian .44's at me Lucian I don't know who down voted you. But I do know league can be a frustrating place where it might seem like, and quite possibly just flat out, be a game where there is nothing more you can do to prevent some terrible games. Especially at your level, being unranked.

I've que'd with a diamond tutor once in a pay-for session to learn some things, and in our game there was an afk. That diamond tutor could not carry that game alone, and it was either high bronze or low silver but, I can't remember which. But the point is, this is a team game, and just doing your role in an average, acceptable manor or even sometimes in a great manor doesn't always win the game.

I checked your profile on na.op.gg and I noticed you get a LOT of kills for playing the tank role. If I've learned ANYTHING maining jungle for almost 1,000 ranked games, it's that your team's actual carries (being the designated ADC or any snow ballers on your team) cannot perform efficiently, at least in low elo, if you soak up all of the kills. They become squishy, low damage, easy targets, especially when they are alone and make a mistake, which is common in your elo.

We eat those. Zed

The reason you might be struggling against assassins and adc's may be because the enemy snow ballers and hyper carries are getting fed off of your squishes and out leveling you, getting more gold than you, and outright shredding you despite defensive builds with their lead over you, only getting worse as the game continues.

There's also a matter of just outright being focused in team fights sometimes and melted before your team has a chance to do much, but I strongly think its more of a matter of your back line needing some of your kills you have, so they can defend themselves against the damage dealers on the enemy team early on so that, not only do the snow ballers have harder targets to get fed off of, but your team can apply more DPS (Damage Per Second) throughout the entire game; much more than any tank champion can. Those kills are a nice source of experience and gold, and kills strongly dictate whether someone performs effectively (naturally its not the only thing but it helps a lot.)

As a tank, it is your job to be a front line engage to peel for your main damage dealers in team fights. You need the main damage dealers alive to win, and they need you to engage so they can do their role and win. Try to coexist with your team; they are suited to get fed more than you. I hope some of this will help your frustrations as a tank player. Best of luck.

Even Illaoi can get shredded easily in teamfights during her ult

GlowshtickSep 13, 20161 votes

Yeah don't take my last bit too literally xD what I mean is, maybe try a carry top laner, and maybe que up with a tanky jungler player. I feel like you would have a better time if you do.

TTK DreadnoughtSep 13, 20161 votes

I main Illaoi top/mid, my buddy mains Amumu Jungle. we tend to do quite well. heh.

GlowshtickSep 14, 20161 votes

You guys can share my nexus anytime.

TTK DreadnoughtSep 14, 20161 votes

haha. yea. our duo makes for a strong teamfight. our support and adc also main leona and ashe respectively so we tend to have plenty of engage, disengage, teamfight and even poke. Our mid player tends to stick to either CC based burst mages or high mobility champs like Kassadin, Ekko, Yasuo for the ability to grab the stray opponents that amumu catches.

feel free to add me if you ever wanna join us for some games.

the problem is that tanks usually have high base damage, decent scaling, and crowd control built into their kits. The high base damage is because they need to be able to do some damage with no damage items. the crowd control is because that's their job, to disrupt and neutralize priority targets with CC to reduce their threat potential while soaking up damage and helping your team get into position

The scaling is where some of the problem comes in.....Because champions should not be tightly limited to only following a linear build path or gameplay style, they allow their scaling to remain good along with the high base damage AND the crowd control, where you have champs like malphite who can do a LOT od damage with just one or two AP items and still remain tanky and deal tons of burst damage, which is NOT ok. The Issue is finding a solution to this problem where the game can remain balanced, can still retain a freedom of item builds, BUT having your champ not have these overlapping benefits where they can abuse multiple benefits JUST because they are allowed to have the freedom of building what they want with compensation from being inherently meant to be tanky. I think they should add optional "stat growth" per level where your stats gains per lvl are different based on what you picked, where picking a tanky choice retains your tanky stats but severely reduces your damage stats, and picking a damage role retains their high base damage and scaling, but severely reduces their tanky stats in order for the player to have to make a meaningful choice and not benefit from both simultaneously, this way tanks can go back to being tanky and not feel so squishy and easily melted to some while not giving them the ability to just walk up to the enemy team's face and soak up absurd amounts of damage WHILE being able to blow people up.

Tanks exist, but a tank update next midseason would be great.

TTK DreadnoughtSep 13, 20162 votes

I would be ecstatic for a tank update. While some tanks would of course get some adjusting, i would personally like to see mostly item updates and try and re-balance the tank items better and maybe make a couple new items if possible.

I play tanks like TahmKench and it takes about 5-6 seconds for someone like Katarina to kill me, though it sucks getting caught out in a 1 v 1 situation you're supposed to be tanky for teamfights so when someone like tries to kill you your team can focus her down. Tanks are supposed to take all the damage in fights and protect their teammates
