Can we go back to the 'Tank meta'?

In all honesty, I wanna see Maokais, Ramuses, Shens, and Mundos, be played in the Toplane/Jungle. Braums and Tahm Kenchs in Support (<<<---- which you never see)... And so on.

I tell you what: Begin by REMOVING Duskblade, and Luden Echo, from the game... Yes, I am not kidding/joking. And buff all Tank items, they are 'laughable/ludicrous' right now(<<<--- I always wanted to say these words xD)...

...ADCs are in a very strong position anyway, to lower Tanks (I've always though ADCs have been the strongest role in almost all the years, with Junglers... Even tho they complain). And there are many 'Counters' to tanks anyway (Kaisa, Vayne, brand... Anything '%').

The amount of Damage now, is absurd, honestly. Its sickening.

PS: Btw, note I said 'Tank' (As of 'Pure tank'), not 'Juggernauts/Fighters/Off-tanks', Lmao.

Edit: Oh, and nerf Ignite, thank you :-)) Make Exhaust an option. Or even Cleanse, and so on. ... Or answer me: In your last 10 games, how many supports picked Exhaust? Not even 2/10. Be honest please.

As a tank player I don't want a tank meta where they just shit on everybody and never die I just want the resistances I buy throughout the entire game to do a little bit more there's just too many efficient ways to deal with a tank than there is the other way around.

Once mages buy a item 3020 item 3916 And item 3135 I'm just an AD carry with 4K HP and no damage

Conqueror imo makes almost every lane top lane un winnable without a camp from your jungler With the addition of item 3071 just pretty much entirely removes the item 3068 that I buy.

And once their AD carry buys a item 3036 I can no longer frontline well at all and lose half my HP before anything even happens.

Whenever im top lane I literally just tell my jungler to never gank me and just camp other lanes because even if I get a lead I still lose and just sit back and never fight them and farm. The only goal I really have is to just not let them snowball because bruiser items are fairly expensive so reducing their gold is just the best form of counter play I have.

Now Im not saying brusiers shouldnt beat me but at the same time it feels like every matchup is a Fiora or Vayne that are borderline impossible to win let alone be fun to any degree.

Um, I'm sorry I missed the part where you were joking. Couldn't find it in the text.

But like seriously, tank meta still exists. My proof? Imagine this... Malphite was 3 levels under me, had only Frostfang and boots, was level 6. I was Ashe, 2 items in full, 11/1, and was 1v1ing him. He legit ulted and autoed me about 6-7 times before I could even saw away a fourth of his life. If that isn't proof enough, idk what is. Tank meta doesn't look like it's there because everyone does so much damage early that Tanks don't get the chance to itemize against it until it's to late or until they are fed. Garen can be complete shit all early game, then end up a tank and carrying his team if there are not champions on your team that destroy or disrupt him. Nautilus support, god fucking hell this champ is my demise. I've yet to play a game where he hasn't carried my ass or hasn't lost against me. You can't do anything against his CC and his tankiness makes him so heavy as a front line.

Side note, taking Luden's Echo would make 0 sense as it provides no Magic pen, so ultimately you'd be screwing an ap item from Mages who ABSOLUTELY rely on the item when you could literally just build MR against it. The magic pen items are what you should refer to removing, but even then, once a tank has built 3 MR items... it's done, the mage is stuck in the back line just poking and hoping to get a kill on squishy champs.

The issue in my opinion is the god damn True Damage in this game. League started with 2 types of damage, magic and physical... then suddenly someone was like... what if we... make a third one? One that just can't be countered! Like... wtf? I think the only way you can counter it is building a shit ton of HP and even then, how many ADCs/Mages/Assassins/Supports... squishy champs basically... do you see building Health completely in their kit?

At least most burst characters take skill.

I also don't think items like item 3285 or item 3147 should be removed it's not really fair to the champions that really need them for their champion to work
