Tank Meta is ridiculous

The role of ADC even get more useless as these beefy tank like Renekton Volibear can just walk up to you and kill you like nothing even matter. Sure they trade overall CC, but how does that matter if they can run in to a team fight and aim for the squishiest to beat down.

I hate tank meta

ADC'S CRYING ABOUT OTHER ROLES BEING ABLE TO SURVIVE/KILL THEM? HOW ORIGINAL!

I feel that both Tanks and ADC's are rampant this season. ADC's becuase you can barely solo them anymore as a fighter/assassin, tanks because they are the only ones with the bases and beefyness to properly withstand ADC's.

Why do you think just about every LCS game consists of 4+ ADC's and 4+ Tanks in a game with 10 roleslots? It's because both roles are rampant, both tanks and ADC's are too strong, Tanks have been made overly strong out of the necesity of ADC's running amok this season.

In you avarage LCS game, the last 1-2 slots get's shared by the rest of the champion classes, juggs, fighters, mages, assassins etc.

If I could rate the current class strenghts on a scale from 1-10 it would look something like this:

ADC's 10 When 5+ adc's can occupy and equal ammount of champion slots in 10 slot game it's hardly because they are weak, there is only one ADC that I would straight up call weak in that particular role Urgot )

Tanks 9 Overly strong due to the necesesity of having some kind of class that can survive a split second focus fire from multiple adc comps, has many individual champs that are VERY strong Malphite Nautilus Alistar Poppy Ekko etc

Juggs 6 They can generally build beefy enough to be somewhat useful and though they generally don't have much meaningful cc, however they do have the base damage to annihalate backlines given they can manage to get there in one piece Shyvana Darius etc

Mages 6 Because though the class suffers somewhat there are still quite a few individual mages that do well very well and the combination of burst and cc that they provide can generally be usefull regardless of comp

Assassins 5 Because though the class suffers there are still individual strong assassins that shines Zed Leblanc Fizz etc

Fighters 2 Because you literally never see them in LCS anymore, and why would you? What is the point of bringing a champion to a fight that literally needs to snowball far ahead or farm half of the game to get the mixture of offensive and defensive items needed to be effective?

That will get instantly deleted if they try to do their jobs of wacking the backline unless they somehow manage to pull of some miraculous flank? That can no longer relatively safely do their jobs of 1v1ing ADC's that are caught out because ADC's are so damn strong right now? Fighters in general now needs to bring along at least a support to be able to "duel" an ADC unless they've somehow managed to snowball.

If I recall correctly, the only members from this class that has even reached the LCS this year are just about two, Gangplank and Fiora , making them extreme outliers of their class, one was only viable due to being able to build juggernaut, the other is only viable due to godlike scaling. One has been nerfed so we probably won't see her in LCS anymore so essentially there is only 1 champion representing this entire class on the pro scene nowadays Gangplank .

I might be entirely incorrect about this, but this more or less sums up how I feel about class standings at the moment.
