Are the developers confused? The state of tanks.

I don't understand,the changes. Resistances are garbage compared to HP when true damage exists. Resistances are garbage when half of champions pack % health damage because you're more vulnerable to everyone else. Tanks, don't pack enough CC for their inherent lack of damage and mediocre ability to soak damage while every infinite sustain fighter and ADC laughs. Meanwhile a tank jumps in, and has to immediately jump out because of the stupid damage, long cool downs, and lack of sustain. Stop worrying about how "pro" games look, few of us care. Stop milking us with microtransactions and balance the game instead. Thanks.

Most of the people that will comment on here most likely never played when tanks were a real thing. Tanks are not really tanks anymore, I sort of feel like a hybrid tank, having to run in just hoping to get some damage off, and run out because of the stupid damage some champs can deal versus what I can sustain.

You realize that, with the obvious exceptions of Fiora and Vayne, resistances counter %health damage, right? Botrk's passive damage is reduced by armor; it's almost like there's a reason that most botrk champs also get cleaver.

Don't worry, Riot assures us tanks are meaningful and impactful. And obviously ADCs are weak.

Yea right, Galio Gragas are weak and need buffs amirite

While the game's playerbase is beyond healthy, its pro scene is most surely on the decline. It is more boring than ever. The same picks, compositions and tactis game after freakin game. So, why tend to the needs of something that is actually intersting only to a very small percentage of the league's community by balancing the game around LCS and not just balance it around what the common folk need?

True damage is still incredibly rare.

Also I'm pretty sure that no champion w/ True Damage has it out do the physical/magic damage that they deal (before resistances of course).

We have craptons of health. Gargoyle Stoneplate gets you over 10k easy. Cinderhulk has buffs on the PBE to make it better with the current tank items.

One big issue is that people have been turned off of Warmogs for the longest time. Now that Warmogs is actually good people have to learn and start building it again.

tanks are strong , its just everyone thinks they should walk in a 1v5 an live , its dumb lol. IF you ever see a real tank play , you would know they are great at tanking turrets and peeling for the adc . its just low elo that expect too much from tanks lol. just play smart and you will be seen as opop
