Just a note about the tank item changes.

specifically the health/resistance items

They were all nerfed. for them to be about as strong as they were they would need another 15 points of resistances a piece.

so at this point it is an important thing to wonder, does riot hate tanks, or is riot actually stupid enough to not double check numbers, becuase there was no need to hit items without one of these two things being true.

If anyone tries to bring up "new items" or "To balance around the new reworks" Keep in mind that nerfing items is not a way to make champions fair, becuase it hits the whole class and beyond, and nerfing items is not a way to make other items fair, because it just makes everyone shoehorn those items in or suffer.

Your post is very vague, but assuming you are against the nerfs to tank items, im going to also assume that you were one of those top lane mains who abused being able to have 4k hp and also buy a cleaver or titanic hydra which is unfair af. the nerfs to tank items was incredibly necessary for champions like poppy or nautilus who could just stomp top lane without dying, and rack up kills along the way.

I have a feeling that if I showed every single relevant piece of information you would still have chosen something irrelevant to handwave my argument.

not necesarily, however my counter argument to most of your information would be simply Chogath

how is that irrelevant at all? your statement was tank items being nerfed negatively affected them. To me, it seems like im getting killed by people actually building damage now compared to those with 1 damage item and the rest over powered tank items. The way it is now is tanks with cc being slightly less healthy, and more resistance based, while also dealing less damage. It was a nerf that has been needed for quite some time and thank god riot finally decided to do it.

I beg to differ, because true tanks and standard tanks suffer from a little something called "cross type interference". Namely, what is GOOD on a tank is GREAT on a bruiser, because a BRUISER has higher base stats than a tank and has HIGH BASE and HIGH scaling ratios. Riot needs to make tank items actually FOR tanks, and get rid of the bruiser class entirely. The myriad of champion types in this game just bloat everything and makes balancing items a nightmare.

The only reason you ever choose a tank over a bruiser is because they often have a higher leaning towards resistances and have much better team fights than bruisers. tanks are also often MUCH less mobile, requiring them to risk MUCH more just to be able to do their job. Generally, bruisers have a get-in-get-out like assassins.

So you don't understand the class you are arguing against. great.
