I think we can conclude by this point that Riot hates any form of survivability

First they make penetration effects stronger, then they nerf the values of defense items, then they change Infinity Edge to be a True Damage weapon, and now they nerf support shields so they either have short duration or bleed off. And of course let's not forget that every new Champion has to have some sort of anti-defense mechanic.

I'm gonna assume Riot hates the idea of defensive itemization by this point, and even the idea of TANKS. [zombie-brand-facepalm]

Nah, I mean there was the tank meta with sunfire capes and warmogs.

And Assassins just kinda were useless.

Meta's change.

But I've never seen a tankless meta.

Where tanks were so bad, that no one wanted to play them.

If you have to ask, you obviously don't know.

Dumb questions get dumb answers. Look in a mirror.

I mean that's why you would ask, wouldn't it? o.O

So why not give him an answer, rather than reaffirm the point of asking a question?

If Tanks can't survive burst, then we are in a tankless meta.

Especially if Assassins are one shotting them, which they shouldn't be even close to that.

I'm not sure I can conclude any of that.

If you look at the larger picture.

Every time they try to 'buff' tanks or tank items.

People start bitching and complaining.

Then they start buffing other champ classes to counter tanks.

And the cycle repeats.

Usually when that cycle comes around, it's the tanks that get the short end of the stick overall.

You know who only gets stronger the more damage they add to the game?

Abuse the fuck out of Kayle

I'm sorry but I think that most of the playerbase would agree that they don't like playing against 6 second long spammable, click on shields that most of the time give additional stats. It's super unfun to chunk someone and think you're going to finish them off then suddenly they have another full white health bar because janna with an ardent censer and pressed E and then you get shat on.
