when botlane leona/taric rapes you....... you know strategy is dead........ 4 stuns and damage that melts you faster than any assasin/burst mage/adc can melt you -.- '' EDIT below'' NERF THE FKING ''ABILITY'' DAMAGE ON TANKS, OR NERF THE FKING BASE ARMOR/MAGIC RESIST ON TANKS.

this game has become godawfull :/ and just plain absurd..... tanks are more of a threat than any other class [zombie-brand-facepalm] they should be an OBSTACLE not a threat, currently they are BOTH [slayer-pantheon-rainbows]

How did you loose to a Taric Leona bot lane? Let alone bad enough to complain on the boards? [zombie-brand-mindblown]

1: Like, yes it's an oppressive kill lane since Leona can go in without fear due to Taric's protection in the early game, but honestly if you didn't recognize that early game would be hard with that team up that's your own fault.

2: Make it to mid game and build like one anti tank item like item 3071 item 3033 item 3036 item 3151 item 3135 or you take Conquerer and all of a sudden you're facing an enemy team without a carry and two supports.

3: if you're still that unsure of yourself take.. idk.summoner 1, item 3111 , Legend tenacity, Unflinching, item 2138, item 3222, item 3140 or if you aren't even bot lane (and you're not a mage) item 3053. Fun fact: Cleanse grants the most Tenacity in the game for a few seconds after its used, so if you come at me with "It only cleanses the first CC" then you need to learn more about the game buddy. Leagues champ select literally allows you time to change runes and summs depending on what your facing.

4: Tanks need reliable base damage in order to be relevant in this game and yes that includes support tanks like Leona and Taric Especially Leona since her entire kit is based around diving. That also explains why she does more damage than Taric since taric has more supportive abilities to fall back on. Leagues not a PvE game where NPC's attack whatever is closest. If a tanks damage isn't even high enough to at least threaten someone who doesn't build ANY defensive items (like ADC's or Mages), then they become completely irrelevant since one could completely ignore them because they're the hardest to kill, but don't do anything besides being hard to kill and maybe add some CC.

why are you people assuming stuff????? and why the fk would i build that on zilean?

ofc i know the lane would be hard -.- but when you stand under tower and they towerdive and you can't do shit, in all honesty i know for a fact tanks are broken....

they went full ad.......

as if those extra couple of seconds tenacity helps..... and besides cleanse has a way longer cd than their abilities -.-

i was talking ability damage not base damage.....

the damage wouldn't be an issue if they would sacrifice defence, but they don't..... and cc can be just as much if not, even more of a threat that damage itself.

I never said you should build all of the items I listed on one champion. [zombie-brand-facepalm] You can most certainly build item 3135 item 3151 or if you're support in that lane item 3222 and literally not build any of the others. Hell you could've still went summoner 1 OR completely crippled them when they dove with summoner 3 and I'll get to that i a minute Edit: Also Literally any champion in the game can viably build item 3111, and since it gives 35% tenacity, that should speak volumes.

ofc i know the lane would be hard -.- but when you stand under tower and they towerdive and you can't do shit, in all honesty i know for a fact tanks are broken....

Can't do shit? As Zilean? Either you where the guy who wasted a bomb on a Leona Taric bot to poke despite Taric heals and shields and they thought "he wasted a Q, he can't stun us if we dive" or you're the Guy who runs away when they dive and doesn't really fight or think. Double Q stun, E slow so leona can't close the gap with Q, E speed boost to dodge Leo ult, Taric E, or Leo E, Ulting when they dive so they can't stay under tower, using item 3157 or item 3003 (if you're smart enough to build it) When they dive under tower, saving summoner 3 for when they try for a dive. There's a lot you could do in those situations. I'm guessing that you wasted Q, and they went in on you/your ADC, since you couldn't stun them they had free reign over the fight, and since (I'm guessing) you build little to no tenacity you or your ADC got stun locked. or in Leo's case, sun-locked.

they went full ad.......

Then punish them! Neither Leona or Taric have ANY AD scaling in their kits. So all you had to do was not let them get into auto range, granted that could be difficult if they have a point-and-click gap close which, neither of them have. So dodge the Leona E.

as if those extra couple of seconds tenacity helps.....

Which it does. If you have 50% tenacity (which again is easy to attain nowadays) You turn 4 seconds of hard CC (assuming they chained it together perfectly thats a .5 second Leona E, 1.25 second Taric stun, 1 second Leona Q, and 1.25 second Leona stun) into 2 seconds of hard CC. That's cutting their combined CC into 2 seconds and in league every second counts. That's not even assuming you where smart enough to take summoner 1 or buy a temporary item 3140 or dodge one of their CC's with a item 3157 which if you used to negate Leo ult or taric stun, would've cut their CC time down to a little more than 1 second. (quick math's) [slayer-pantheon-thumbs]

and besides cleanse has a way longer cd than their abilities -.-

Then time it well and don't waste it -.- see? I can make faces too. Use it for those moments when they tower dive and become so slippery that they regret their life choices the moment they get close in a position that's dangerous for them. Another fun fact : if you dodge the little sunlight eclipse ability on leona's W you negate that bonus armor and MR for 3 seconds, and if she built full AD like you said that means she's squishy and then you use your abilities on her. Not while it's active.

i was talking ability damage not base damage.....

Again, none of Leona's or Taric's abilities scale with AD, so if they built full AD like you claim... lowering their "ability damage" could only be interpreted by lowering their base damage. Maybe you though that when I said base damage I meant their AD growth or something, but no, I meant the base damage on their abilities. Another thing, Leona is a heavy snowball support. Her kit is really good at going in, but really bad at just about everything else, If you can skillfully make her dives not work in her favor she'll fall off like a Pantheon in late game. Especially if she's built AD like you said.

the damage wouldn't be an issue if they would sacrifice defence, but they don't.....

Yes they do, you just need to be smart about it. The only defensive bonuses Leona gains are in her W, if her W is down she is no longer a tank, she's got as much armor and MR as a squishy champion. So if you're a champ who deals damage try and wait to use your full combos/burst at that moment. Taric actually has some of the lowest base Armor and MR in the game due to the fact that armor he builds scales up faster due to his W. If he was building full AD, she should have been squishy.

and cc can be just as much if not, even more of a threat that damage itself.

No it can't, not alone. CC is meant as a set up for damage to be dealt or to mitigate damage. CC without any damage simply prolongs fights, not really doing anything impactful.

  1. I notice how you don't seem to bring up the early game. I assume its because someone messed up bot lane and they snowballed, and you don't want to admit it.
  2. Based on what you've replied to my first comment I assume you're either bronze or silver, I could be wrong but That's what I assume, since you don't think ahead to save abilities/summoners for key moments and instead assume you should jump the gun at a moments notice.
  3. You to have not really grasped the tactics/counter play opportunities at your disposal
  4. before you call something broken, play it yourself. I bet you'll notice some of the weaknesses in the kit.

liandry is mandatory, but first comes mana sustain..... you can't build any of these items early game yet :/ i usually take exhaust but its not that effective against them. can't do damage without item 3020 thanks to riot.

nope, i did everything right, stunned them both simultaneously, and used ult and used slowdown, thing is they didn't focus the adc but me.....

Then punish them! Neither Leona or Taric have ANY AD scaling in their kits. So all you had to do was not let them get into auto range, granted that could be difficult if they have a point-and-click gap close which, neither of them have. So dodge the Leona E.

one build tank the other ad, leona has one broken gapcloser which might as well be point and click lol, i wonder when riot will fix hitboxes :/

Which it does. If you have 50% tenacity (which again is easy to attain nowadays) You turn 4 seconds of hard CC (assuming they chained it together perfectly thats a .5 second Leona E, 1.25 second Taric stun, 1 second Leona Q, and 1.25 second Leona stun) into 2 seconds of hard CC.

im afraid these items are too expensive for a support build, especially early game @.@

she was definitely not squishy.

Especially if she's built AD like you said.

truth be told they don't need ap scaling or tank items, which is why they are broken. people often underestimate leona and taric since they are mainly in bot lane as support, however i've seen both of them solo destroy top lane @.@

Yes they do, you just need to be smart about it. The only defensive bonuses Leona gains are in her W, if her W is down she is no longer a tank, she's got as much armor and MR as a squishy champion.

i know a leona player in real, and he definitely doesn't put much effort in the W..... leona is really not squishy, with or without W or defence items :/

No it can't, not alone. CC is meant as a set up for damage to be dealt or to mitigate damage. CC without any damage simply prolongs fights, not really doing anything impactful.

  1. i'm talking early game to late O.o
  2. i mainly used abilities in defence not offense, since we didn't get a chance to get close due to leona.
  3. i do, unfortunatly there isn't much counter play against it..... at first we did state liandry and lw or db, but we never got to build that due to opressive dives in early.
  4. i have played both of them with ease, it was so boring, i decided never to play them again lol.

So you're either not listening, or I was right and you're bronze/silver and depend too heavily on auto piloting through games. Since you're slowly going down the path of contradicting what you've said, I looked up the game myself, and I already see sooooo much wrong with what you've purchased and the runes you took. I also Found out that my second point was right. In terms of elo.

liandry is mandatory, but first comes mana sustain..... you can't build any of these items early game yet :/

Early game mana sustain is the best its ever been in the history of league. Again, if you'd change your runes pregame accordingly you coulda taken manaflow band or Prescience of mind. I'm HOPING you built item 3301 so you get even more mana sustain, and even if you did super autopilot and take item 3303 even that gives mana regain. You could have rushed support items like item 3107 or if you took aery as a keystone you could have even sprung for a risky, but rewarding item 3174. There are so many options for early game mana sustain that still let you be safe even without tenacity. But you went the selfish route and opted for damage and late game scaling buy putting all your eggs in one basket with item 3003, which I should remind you sucks early game now due to the change to mage items. I'll get to your boots in a second.

i usually take exhaust but its not that effective against them. can't do damage without item 3020 thanks to riot.

As a support your job isn't to do damage. IT's to protect the carry. With a Warwick, Annie, Jhin, and Pantheon you didn't need damage, you needed defense. Also flat magic penetration/armor penetration is terrible against tanks you need % Armor/MR. I'm going to explain the math as simple as I can like I did with tenacity (which you never really mentioned again come to think of it).

Armor and MR has a diminishing return, meaning the more you build the less you gain from it. 0-100 of each resistance gets you 0% to 50% damage reduction, but going from 100-200 resistance only goes from 50% to around 62%. Now here's why flat armor pen sucks against tanks. If you negate 18 MR on a 32 MR Jhin, you basically drop him down to 14 MR, going from I'm guessing 27% to 10% reduction. That's a huge difference. But doing the same on say Leona who with W on usually has around 125 MR early-mid game you're only droping her from 125-107 which goes from around 54% to 51% reduction. See the difference?

This proves my second point even more, as well as my third seeing as how a better player woulda figured this out and just built item 3111, which would have been safer, more effective, and more cost effecient since yeah you're doing less damage, but only around 1-3% to your main enemies.

nope, i did everything right, stunned them both simultaneously, and used ult and used slowdown, thing is they didn't focus the adc but me.....

Now repeat after me. No one does everything right. I hear this all the time, if you did everything right, you deserve challenger. If you did everything right, you wouldn't have died. If you did everything right, you would have won the game. Clearly from my last point already you did things very wrong.

one build tank the other ad, leona has one broken gapcloser which might as well be point and click lol, i wonder when riot will fix hitboxes :/

So here you contradict yourself "They went full AD". when I read that I knew that you'd be the type to lie in order to feel right, which is why I looked up the game. Leona built bruiser with item 3078 and item 3742 while Taric. You guys just fed him so many kills..... built item 3109 item 3065 item 3027 item 3070 and item 3047. Those are expensive items, minus Knights vow. So that was on you guys for snowballing them so hard. If you had ended lane even they wouldn't have had their first items (triforce and ROA) untill around level 7. But because you fed so hard, they where able to get their hands on some of the most powerful items in the game and snowball. I think this is something you left out intentionally because these items aren't usually built on Leo Taric, and they give some of the best stats in the game. But no, the champions are broken, not the expensive build.

im afraid these items are too expensive for a support build, especially early game @.@

See mana sustain section. You may not be able to get tenacity immediately, but you can still have options for safety in the early game. Edit: I think Mercs cost the same as Sorc. boots btw, I think

she was definitely not squishy.

yea I know that now since you went from "full AD" "one build tank the other build AD" And she didn't even build any actual AD besides Triforce. . .

truth be told they don't need ap scaling or tank items, which is why they are broken. people often underestimate leona and taric since they are mainly in bot lane as support, however i've seen both of them solo destroy top lane @.@

Yes, yes they can destroy ppl top lane. You wanna find out why? There are two good reasons that you've completely ignored still.

  1. Champion mastery: bet you didn't want to mention their summoner names for a good reason. It'd be admitting you know they play those champs a LOT, and probably had more skill with them than you on Zilean.
  2. Riot wants off meta picks to be relevant. Taric top and Leona top CAN work and you know what? That's ok. That's the point of off roles. They have drawbacks sure like Leona can't even use her passive top lane effectively unless jungler ganks or the fact that All of tarics spells are essentially cut in half utility wise since he has no one to tether to. But if you're really good at the champions, then you can pull it off, and even steamroll if you're that good.

i know a leona player in real, and he definitely doesn't put much effort in the W..... leona is really not squishy, with or without W or defence items :/

She's squishy if she doesn't build tank, she's squishy if enemies avoid her W, She's really squishy if she doesn't have either, I hope that I don't have to explain why. If I do. . . I'm not doing another math section on someone who won't listen

this where ''team mates'' come in^^

Here's the problem with that way of thinking. Most teamates won't be able to immediately re-engage Since the enemy's teamates also exist. They will just fight the people who are actual threats and still ignore the tank since again, in the scenario the tank deals little-no meaningful damage. Tanks believe it or not should be able to kill champions who build NO defensive items with relative ease. If tanks start easily outdueling champions who build bruiser like on-release Galio, Or there's a tank who kills other tanks too easily like post buffed Ornn then and only then is it a problem. If a champion can't even kill another champion who doesn't have any defensive items that champion will never be viable, it's as simple as that.

  1. i'm talking early game to late O.o
  2. i mainly used abilities in defence not offense, since we didn't get a chance to get close due to leona.
  3. i do, unfortunatly there isn't much counter play against it..... at first we did state liandry and lw or db, but we never got to build that due to opressive dives in early.
  4. i have played both of them with ease, it was so boring, i decided never to play them again lol.

Belive it or not if you made it to late game with your comp vs theirs you would have won. Again they had 3 tanks, no ADC and aLeeSin. If you where smart enough to build supportive to minimize their early game snowball or you recognized that they where building scaling items, and played accordingly you probably would have won the game. The fact that you've done neither means you have no idea how early game strength works, or how late game scaling items work.

You don't use your abilities defensively like you claim. You've proven that with your late game oriented burst build of item 3020 item 3003 and I'm assuming item 3151. Since you'd have little to nothing to do in lane to stack your archangel's staff since you'd be holding a bomb ready to immediately stun them if they engaged, You're W and Ult wouldn't be used almost ever, and I guess you could spam you're E, but it would build up way too slow.

You should've recognized you where outmatched early game and instead built defensively. Ask your actual carries to build the damage and you build the cheaper support items to actually lend aid to your team. The "there's nothing I could do" argument doesn't hold when you actually didn't consider all of your options.

But these people you've played with have obviously mastered them both. Better than you've mastered your champ, and probably better than just about everyone in that game looking at their summoner names.

It's clear you lost your team the game. They had the sustain damage to make it to mid game as long as bot lane didn't feed, and you fed them. Jhin is building accordingly, sacrificing his item 3031 and instead opting for item 3035 as well as item 3094 and item 3508 for safety and mana sustain. Too bad his support was building damage and couldn't effectively do anything except exhaust, waste a bomb so he couldn't stun, and slow down the people with ranged hard CC and plenty of games on their champions. It's clear at this point you're just making excuses for your poor play, and I'm sorry you can't learn any sort of lesson here. I'm done with ya bud, hope maybe, just maybe you could understand what you did wrong.

no it has been better..... ofcourse i start with coin -.- yes i go with aery, no, grail is for healers and shielders, not for zilean -.-

no as a support its your job to AID the adc in taking down objectives (towers), regardless of how its done. lol...... you do realize magic pen stacks..... and liandry is an anti tank item -.- you're math is flawed, and makes no sense, you purposfully keep IMPORTANT factors out of it.

Now repeat after me. No one does everything right. I hear this all the time, if you did everything right, you deserve challenger. If you did everything right, you wouldn't have died. If you did everything right, you would have won the game. Clearly from my last point already you did things very wrong.

before you make biased, prejudice assumptions, i suggest you ask how much experience one has with the game..... i'm a mastery 7 zilean/zyra main veteran alpha player......

So here you contradict yourself "They went full AD". when I read that I knew that you'd be the type to lie in order to feel right, which is why I looked up the game. Leona built bruiser with item 3078 and item 3742 while Taric. You guys just fed him so many kills..... built item 3109 item 3065 item 3027 item 3070 and item 3047.

I think this is something you left out intentionally because these items aren't usually built on Leo Taric, and they give some of the best stats in the game. But no, the champions are broken, not the expensive build.

no contradiction, she did go full ad untill late game, where she no longer needed more ad and went with 1 tank item -.- taric went full tank, and yes ROA is a tank item. no feeding, they raped us from early till end, 9/10 deaths we had were under our tower , more than half of them were 3/4 against 2 of them, so again before you make prejudice and biased assumptions i suggest you ask what really happened, or get full information.

See mana sustain section. You may not be able to get tenacity immediately, but you can still have options for safety in the early game. Edit: I think Mercs cost the same as Sorc. boots btw, I think

merc boots require mr item magic pen boots do not.... merc requires you to buy 450 item, pen shoes just 300 boots and 800 to finish, i cannot spent 450 in between..... i'm support not laning like a tank/fighter on top. and yes they are both the same cost, just building merc boots is more expensive since you'd require the mr item BEFORE the boots themselves......

yea I know that now since you went from "full AD" "one build tank the other build AD" And she didn't even build any actual AD besides Triforce. . .

she build triforce first..... only late when she noticed she doesn't need more ad.....

  1. Champion mastery: bet you didn't want to mention their summoner names for a good reason. It'd be admitting you know they play those champs a LOT, and probably had more skill with them than you on Zilean.
  2. Riot wants off meta picks to be relevant. Taric top and Leona top CAN work and you know what? That's ok. That's the point of off roles. They have drawbacks sure like Leona can't even use her passive top lane effectively unless jungler ganks or the fact that All of tarics spells are essentially cut in half utility wise since he has no one to tether to. But if you're really good at the champions, then you can pull it off, and even steamroll if you're that good.
  1. naming on boards isn't allowed you dip.
  2. you pretend like they need effort or brains to be played

She's squishy if she doesn't build tank, she's squishy if enemies avoid her W, She's really squishy if she doesn't have either

no she is not squishy at all..... i played her myself, i even shut off my brain.

Belive it or not if you made it to late game with your comp vs theirs you would have won. Again they had 3 tanks, no ADC and aLeeSin. If you where smart enough to build supportive to minimize their early game snowball or you recognized that they where building scaling items, and played accordingly you probably would have won the game. The fact that you've done neither means you have no idea how early game strength works, or how late game scaling items work.

You don't use your abilities defensively like you claim. You've proven that with your late game oriented burst build of item 3020 item 3003 and I'm assuming item 3151. Since you'd have little to nothing to do in lane to stack your archangel's staff since you'd be holding a bomb ready to immediately stun them if they engaged, You're W and Ult wouldn't be used almost ever, and I guess you could spam you're E, but it would build up way too slow.

You should've recognized you where outmatched early game and instead built defensively. Ask your actual carries to build the damage and you build the cheaper support items to actually lend aid to your team. The "there's nothing I could do" argument doesn't hold when you actually didn't consider all of your options.

But these people you've played with have obviously mastered them both. Better than you've mastered your champ, and probably better than just about everyone in that game looking at their summoner names.

It's clear you lost your team the game. They had the sustain damage to make it to mid game as long as bot lane didn't feed, and you fed them. Jhin is building accordingly, sacrificing his item 3031 and instead opting for item 3035 as well as item 3094 and item 3508 for safety and mana sustain. Too bad his support was building damage and couldn't effectively do anything except exhaust, waste a bomb so he couldn't stun, and slow down the people with ranged hard CC and plenty of games on their champions. It's clear at this point you're just making excuses for your poor play, and I'm sorry you can't learn any sort of lesson here. I'm done with ya bud, hope maybe, just maybe you could understand what you did wrong.

you're an obvious tank main, that knows nothing about mages mandatory items for mages are: AAS and liandry, not only that but i and jhin agreed mutually to build LW and liandry, you know absolutely nothing about zilean O.o, his entire kit is defence AA can be stacked by using W to reset abilities, it takes 2 nades to stun for instance. how can i not ever use my W? if i don't use it i CAN'T stun liandry gives hp and does % damage on hp AKA anti tank, AAS is the ONLY viable mana regen item and again your knowledge is zero point zero about zilean my build at all times is a full CDR build so i can spam my abilities you are extremely prejudice and make false assumptions way too fast. unfortunatly to achive a full cdr build i HAVE to build offensive the rest is too expensive -.- zilean has little to no synergy with support items.

how is being dived under tower with 3 ranged stuns 1 aoe stun being with slow possible through walls and minions + 1 up close stun and killed in under 3 seconds being outplayed? they have invulnerable AND heal and damage reduction as well [sg-soraka] i mean i saw leona destroy pantheon in 1vs1 just wtf O.o she went full ad and still tanked like crazy, how is that right? why is leona allowed to cause as much damage as pantheon AND tank more damage AND stun more AND reduce damage? the overal problem with tanks are too much damage by abilities, look at blitzcrank, 1 grab + ult takes about 70% to 80% hp, unless he goes full ap than he takes 90% to 100% hp, its too much given, he has a shield and 3 types of cc AND being a tank stats wise.

and damage from abilities nerf is what i meant, not base attack nerf so no need for a def buff..... an F.Y.I their damage is on par with any other champion..... so nerfing them def wise doesn't mean you gotta buff them damage wise, theyd be somewhat slightly balanced, if theyd remove some CC with it as well [sg-ahri-1]

tanks should be obstacles not threats, this is why tanks need more mitigation in their kit, so they can absorb team mates damage. i don't fking play autoclick champions... i prefer skillshots, you toxic piece of biased dip. i'm a mage main not an adc main..... why the fk would anyone play squishy champions anymore? when you have tanks that can do the same damage and MUCH more, even i am forced to go tank now and than which i hate..... i prefer mages, i don't like vlad or swain, so i go maokai -.- the weakest tank out there by the way.

tanks aren't even strong, you just don't understand them and what they do/where they are weak

after the cinderhulk nerf, most tank junglers are subpar other than Sej (and even she's at a 49% winrate)... some other junglers go Cinderhulk (such as Olaf or Skarner) but aren't really tanks

I recommend everyone who whines about tanks to actually play tanks for a few days. You'll find out that they are nowhere near as strong as you think and just have windows of power as they should. If they didn't have decent base damage, they'd be useless and never picked. They would be so useless that building tank woudn't be worth anything.

tanks aren't weak at all, tanks are way too strong.

i do often play a tank, maokai, i don't find him weak at all..... but the other tanks are far stronger and more obnoxious, they are practically unkillable due to high sustain and alot of CC and on top of that cause alot of damage.

i was talking about ability damage nerf not, base damage nerf i will adjust it. tanks are meant to absorb damage and control the battle, not steamroll over entire teams solo.

no, why do people keep saing that O.o tanks don't need damage to be a threat, its a TEAM game, catching someone with a well placed CC allows your team to move in and win.

i'm not saying tanks shouldn't do damage, i'm just saying they should only do half the damage, damage focused champions do, right now tanks are on par and have no weakness...... bruisers and juggernauts don't have as much CC.

riot needs to implement a Z.O.C or more damage mitigation, so that tanks become a obstacle, and mandatory in teamfights to absorb damage from other party members.

enjoy a game where tanks are irrelevant then since that is what you want... unless you want them to massively buff their CC which would just make them insanely more frustrating to deal with but you just want a champion that is unable to do anything to you and that you can free farm and bully at every stage of the game with zero repercussions right? "obstacle" more like "why pick this trash of a champion when I can just pick a midlaner/jungler with CC with a shielding support and then just have bruiser vs bruiser in the top lane since tanks will just be ignored" it has happened before and it will happen again.

So you're either no listening, or I was right and you're bronze/silver and depend too heavily on auto piloting through games. Since you're slowly going down the path of contradicting what you've said, I looked up the game myself, and I already see sooooo much wrong with what you've purchased and the runes you took. I also Found out that my second point was right. In terms of elo.

liandry is mandatory, but first comes mana sustain..... you can't build any of these items early game yet :/

Early game mana sustain is the best its ever been in the history of league. Again, if you'd change your runes pregame accordingly you coulda taken manaflow band or Prescience of mind. I'm HOPING you built item 3301 so you get even more mana sustain, and even if you did super autopilot and take item 3303 even that gives mana regain. You could have rushed support items like item 3107 or if you took aery as a keystone you could have even sprung for a risky, but rewarding item 3174. There are so many options for early game mana sustain that still let you be safe even without tenacity. But you went the selfish route and opted for damage and late game scaling buy putting all your eggs in one basket with item 3003, which I should remind you sucks early game now due to the change to mage items. I'll get to your boots in a second.

i usually take exhaust but its not that effective against them. can't do damage without item 3020 thanks to riot.

As a support your job isn't to do damage. IT's to protect the carry. With a Warwick, Annie, Jhin, and Pantheon you didn't need damage, you needed defense. Also magic penetration/armor penetration is terrible against tanks. I'm going to explain the math as simple as I can like I did with tenacity (which you never really mentioned again come to think of it).

Armor and MR has a diminishing return, meaning the more you build the less you gain from it. 0-100 of each resistance gets you 0% to 50% damage reduction, but going from 100-200 resistance only goes from 50% to around 62%. Now here's why flat armor pen sucks against tanks. If you negate 18 MR on a 32 MR Jhin, you basically drop him down to 14 MR, going from I'm guessing 27% to 10% reduction. That's a huge difference. But doing the same on say Leona who with W on usually has around 125 MR early-mid game you're only droping her from 125-107 which goes from around 54% to 51% reduction. See the difference?

This proves my second point even more, as well as my third seeing as how a better player woulda figured this out and just built item 3111, which would have been safer, more effective, and more cost effecient since yeah you're doing less damage, but only around 1-3% to your main enemies.

nope, i did everything right, stunned them both simultaneously, and used ult and used slowdown, thing is they didn't focus the adc but me.....

Now repeat after me. No one does everything right. I hear this all the time, if you did everything right, you deserve challenger. If you did everything right, you wouldn't have died. If you did everything right, you would have won the game. Clearly from my last point already you did things very wrong.

one build tank the other ad, leona has one broken gapcloser which might as well be point and click lol, i wonder when riot will fix hitboxes :/

So here you contradict yourself "They went full AD". when I read that I knew that you'd be the type to lie in order to feel right, which is why I looked up the game. Leona built bruiser with item 3078 and item 3742 while Taric. You guys just fed him so many kills..... built item 3109 item 3065 item 3027 item 3070 and item 3047. Those are expensive items, minus Knights vow. So that was on you guys for snowballing them so hard. If you had ended lane even they wouldn't have had their first items (triforce and ROA) untill around level 7. But because you fed so hard, they where able to get their hands on some of the most powerful items in the game and snowball. I think this is something you left out intentionally because these items aren't usually built on Leo Taric, and they give some of the best stats in the game. But no, the champions are broken, not the expensive build.

im afraid these items are too expensive for a support build, especially early game @.@ See mana sustain section. You may not be able to get tenacity immediately, but you can still have options for safety in the early game.

she was definitely not squishy.

yea I know that now since you went from "full AD" "one build tank the other build AD" And she didn't even build any actual AD besides Triforce. . .

truth be told they don't need ap scaling or tank items, which is why they are broken. people often underestimate leona and taric since they are mainly in bot lane as support, however i've seen both of them solo destroy top lane @.@

Yes, yes they can destroy ppl top lane. You wanna find out why? There are two good reasons that you've completely ignored still.

  1. Champion mastery: bet you didn't want to mention their summoner names for a good reason. It'd be admitting you know they play those champs a LOT, and probably had more skill with them than you on Zilean.
  2. Riot wants off meta picks to be relevant. Taric top and Leona top CAN work and you know what? That's ok. That's the point of off roles. They have drawbacks sure like Leona can't even use her passive top lane effectively unless jungler ganks or the fact that All of tarics spells are essentially cut in half utility wise since he has no one to tether to. But if you're really good at the champions, then you can pull it off, and even steamroll if you're that good.

i know a leona player in real, and he definitely doesn't put much effort in the W..... leona is really not squishy, with or without W or defence items :/ She's squishy if she doesn't build tank, she's squishy if enemies avoid her W, She's really squishy if she doesn't have either, I hope that I don't have to explain why. If I do. . . I'm not doing another math section on someone who won't listen this where ''team mates'' come in^^

Here's the problem with that way of thinking. Most teamates won't be able to immediately re-engage Since the enemy's teamates also exist. They will just fight the people who are actual threats and still ignore the tank since again, in the scenario the tank deals little-no meaningful damage. Tanks believe it or not should be able to kill champions who build NO defensive items with relative ease. If tanks start easily outdueling champions who build bruiser like on-release Galio, Or there's a tank who kills other tanks too easily like post buffed Ornn then and only then is it a problem. If a champion can't even kill another champion who doesn't have any defensive items that champion will never be viable, it's as simple as that.

  1. i'm talking early game to late O.o
  2. i mainly used abilities in defence not offense, since we didn't get a chance to get close due to leona.
  3. i do, unfortunatly there isn't much counter play against it..... at first we did state liandry and lw or db, but we never got to build that due to opressive dives in early.
  4. i have played both of them with ease, it was so boring, i decided never to play them again lol.

Belive it or not if you made it to late game with your comp vs theirs you would have won. Again they had 3 tanks, no ADC and aLeeSin. If you where smart enough to build supportive to minimize their early game snowball or you recognized that they where building scaling items, and played accordingly you probably would have won the game. The fact that you've done neither means you have no idea how early game strength works, or how late game scaling items work.

You don't use your abilities defensively like you claim. You've proven that with your late game oriented burst build of item 3020 item 3003 and I'm assuming item 3151. Since you'd have little to nothing to do in lane to stack your archangel's staff since you'd be holding a bomb ready to immediately stun them if they engaged, You're W and Ult wouldn't be used almost ever, and I guess you could spam you're E, but it would build up way too slow.

You should've recognized you where outmatched early game and instead built defensively. Ask your actual carries to build the damage and you build the cheaper support items to actually lend aid to your team. The "there's nothing I could do" argument doesn't hold when you actually didn't consider all of your options.

But these people you've played with have obviously mastered them both. Better than you've mastered your champ, and probably better than just about everyone in that game looking at their summoner names.

It's clear you lost your team the game. They had the sustain damage to make it to mid game as long as bot lane didn't feed, and you fed them. Jhin is building accordingly, sacrificing his item 3031 and instead opting for item 3035 as well as item 3094 and item 3508 for safety and mana sustain. Too bad his support was building damage and couldn't effectively do anything except exhaust, waste a bomb so he couldn't stun, and slow down the people with ranged hard CC and plenty of games on their champions. It's clear at this point you're just making excuses for your poor play, and I'm sorry you can't learn any sort of lesson here. I'm done with ya bud, hope maybe, just maybe you could understand what you did wrong.
