Would a Marksman/Tank hybrid work?

Would it be possible to make a ranged tank designed to go botlane with a support?

Both classes are supposed to be low mobility, low burst, and teamfight focused, so they've got a decent amount of overlap. A marksman that did less damage than other marksman, but also had CC and more health than other marksman, might be an interesting addition to the game. They'd do moderate, sustained damage in teamfights while peeling for squishy teammates.

It would be a great answer to kill lanes and high-damage supports like Brand and Lux to have a marksman that can just take more punishment than others, in exchange for lower damage output.

I think graves and urgot are the closest to that catagory. And in my opinion they are super toxic when meta

Kinda feels like you could do this by just building some tankiness on a Vayne.

I couldn't imagine a more boring or terrible idea if I tried.

Sounds incredibly toxic to go up against and rather limiting in terms of countering.

If that idea comes true, and riots follows your stupid shit, then don't be surprised if you see the boards filled with complaints, and also don't be surprised if player toxicity becomes doubled.

Otherwise, fuck no. Tank Meta already died. We don't want another one but on steroids that can melt towers all the while soaking damage.

How about a adc thats tanky but does SUPER LOW DMG but like.....a attack speed monster. Or maybe something like a tanky adc that gains more ad the longer they're in combat that has NO MAX. so basically a ranged darius that is poop start of a fight but gets super strong later in the fight but low mobility. you can also see this on ursa from dota2 but hes melee.

During tank meta people would go randuins + warmogs as final items on marksmen like vayne or ashe and was just really gross and a big reason why marksmen were changed and some tank items were changed. If you're going a tank with long range theres really no point of being a marksman in the bottom lane since you dont actually have the damage potential to carry compared to a real adc who will just melt you late game and people will just end up abusing that kind of champ in the top lane to bully melee players since they can't trade back even if they wanted to.
