Tank Meta was a relatively healthy meta

With pretty much only DrMundo and TahmKench being the broken outlier. This current meta is absolutely disgusting. It reminds me of the waveclear meta back in s3 however all these "wave clear" mages are now offtank seige mages that hurts like a truck. item 3027 a lone gives enough mana and sustain if you have half a brain for mana management. item 3116 gives you the extra slow and beef for anti-assassin burst yet somehow still gives a whooping 100AP If that's not enough item 3285 why not add some mobility to it and more margin of error to miss skill shot because the proc from item 3285 applies item 3116 slow.

I'd rather be in the tank meta where they have to go up close to deal damage allowing some sort of counter play than this no risk all reward poking anti-burst meta. (✿◡‿◡)

You're complaining about the wrong class. It's the **Marksmen **who shit on tanks and everyone else.

Azir Enough said.

Yeah but azir has always been broken. He is like the Kalista of mages, they nerf him on every patch but his kit is so overloaded and badly designed that he will always deal shit tons of damage while being super safe.

To be frank, I'd say it's bad phrasing by Karma Mechanix. I'd have said Marksman, as that also encompasses the Marksman-like mages like Azir and Cass, while also avoiding the bleedover with Yasuo or Yi like champions who technically can shred tanks but kinda depends on the context.

But Casseopia is useless.....

Though I agree with you on all the other parts.

This is a whole new kind of stupid. Azir is a DPS caster. How the fuck is he like marksman. That's like saying Juggernauts and tanks are the same thing because they have a lot of HP.

He's a DPS Mage. Dps counters tanks.

Brand isn't a DPS mage, he shreds tanks.

All these mage mains defending their freelo is disgusting.

In my experience, Brand really shreds anything that stays bunched up.

And I also don't know all of brand's damage types, but doesn't he do %health damage on some?

ALL of his spells proc %max hp from his passive

Ralanr1 votes

Ahh. That's probably why then.

he basically gets a liandry's passive on his passive

if it really is freelo then pick them up otherwise stop complaining about something that isn't really even a problem.

bard main but close enough

Look at these main mains trying to overrate healthy ADCs like Twitch Sivir and Ashe while abusing champs like Malzahar Annie and Brand

everything happening right now aside, i feel like allowing rylais slows on aoe abilities with the same strength as single target abilities was a mistake.

it made the item ridiculously powerful on almost every single ap champ. with the upcoming nerf to swifites (again), and the removing of boots enchants, the item just became more and more powerful as the season has been going on.

i feel like riot kinda fucked the entire dynamic of slows and their counters up and basically put slows on everyone and everything in the game. which is probably part of the reason why everyone is buying swifties, because tenacity isnt a counter to perma slows.
