Riot's brainwashed us to think tanks can't be healthy.

Meanwhile we've been duped into thinking that getting nuked as every role is just "healthy game play". Also, any time a tank stands out, instead of leaving them be nice and tanky, and reduce their damage, they reduce the tank's ability to survive, which everyone is fine with...

Idk about you, but as far as I understand that sounds like classical conditioning. Riot does and doesn't tell us what they think is good for the game. Meanwhile we ask Riot for changes, and anything that doesn't conform with their ideas just gets rejected and ignored. This is followed by the community slowly losing interest in it, or false promises.

Just look how ascension was reworked. "It doesn't have enough popularity for us to work on it, but since we don't work on it it doesn't have popularity".

the problem is when a tank nukes an assassin nearly as fast as an assassin nukes another assassin......... i got killed in like 2 seconds by a zed who was 3/1/1 and then an irelia who was nearly full tank nuked the enemy ADC in 3 seconds..... she was 4/2/0.

This is why tanks are not healthy. because they do a shit ton of damage.

I remember season 3 when tanks were hard to take down, but the thing was even the tanks that could 1v5 cause they were fed still took 6-10 seconds to kill each squishy. That was when tanks were balanced. They were hard to kill, but didnt nuke people.

The base damages on tank champions is way to high and allows for them to still deal incredible damage without receiving any in return. When i watch my support nautilus 1v2 the bot lane cause i got rekt by vayne I start to question if that is balanced. Something tells me that it isnt.

Tanks are doing too much damage right now. Riot should buff the resists on a few tank items (like bringing warmogs back to 1K hp) but then nerf the damages of the popular tanks.

To be fair tho im pretty sure rito is working on this currently. They did the Juggernauts, the mages, the ADCs, and the Assassins. all thats really left are tanks. so i figure many of these issues will be fixed in their next big playstyle rework.

Irelia is a fighter, not a tank.

Irelia is a fighter, not a tank.

and another brainwashing. At this point everyone that isn't a mage, or support is a fighter...

Irelia is not a tank. Even if she builds full defense and one damage item, she's still a fighter.
