My face whenever someone complains about tanks and uses a juggernaut as an example.

Garen/Darius/DrMundo/Illaoi are fucking op tanks man! Tanks are such bullshit, no skill champs! Nerf tanks!

Those aren't tanks! They are juggernauts! Stop making me hate a subclass I should like because of your misunderstanding of what a tank is!

Sion/Amumu/Sejuani shouldn't be nerfed because of DrMundo or some tanky damage dealers.

Which are a subclass of assassins. As are slayers.

Or they are called slayers and assassin is the subclass. I forget.

Blue Moon Wolf11 votes

Skirmishers and Assassins are subclasses of Slayers. From what Riot said, Assassins are made to infiltrate the enemy front line to get to the squishy champs in the back, but can easily put themselves into danger in the process. Skirmishers were described to "shred through any nearby enemy that approaches", lacking in high end burst damage that assassins have, but are armed with situationally powerful defensive tools to survive in the fray, along with extreme sustained damage to cut down even the most durable targets.

so pretty much, Assassins: get in, get out or die. Skirmishers: sustained damage with defensive tools to stay alive with.

He was listed as a skirmisher Due to his defensive abilities to keep him safe in fights and his passive giving him reliable sustained damage. To be fair, the subclass updates are really recent (maybe a few weeks ago) and Riot kind of did a poor job making them more readily available to the public.

Ekko has enough cc to be qualified as a tank if he builds that way.

I can't deny they are similar. But it's the kits that differentiate them.

A streamer is playing Gangplank versus Illaoi toplane. Illaoi Grabs his soul, ults for the 2 tentacles and W's to get 4 tentacles to smash down on GP and his soul Gangplank is at half health, but simply walks away from Illaoi and lives Twitch chat: ''OMFG SO BROKEN WTF?!?!?!??!'' ''ILLAOI BALANCED LUL'' Me ''So we're just going to ignore the fact that he lived by simply walking away?'' Twitch chat: ''WTF?!?! RITO??!?'' ''RITO FIRE UR BALANCE TEAM EleGiggle'' sighs

To be fair, Mordekaiser always builds Rylais item 3116 which makes it harder to walk away from him like one could VS Illaoi =P

I hate how everyone uses that as a crutch though, item 3116 is built because he doesn't have any cc...

Sahn Uzal2 votes

Aye, but Illaoi can't build a Rylais to get CC :p

CeexSett1 votes

What's stopping her?

Sahn Uzal4 votes

Touché, but she really shouldn't because she doesn't have any AP ratios at all. Like litterally none. Unless you're buying an item like lichbane, or taking the Thunderlords/DFT mastery

Captain Aishi1 votes

the other day I bought rylais on shyvana (with her 10% ap ratio on W now it was actually pretty decent) so that her dragon form W scorched ground would slow people in it, got me to thinking I should try the item on darius so his bleed slows people like brand's passive :P (hey if zhonyas is core on my darius build, i can try to replace it with rylais for one game to see how it goes)

MasterVidallis5 votes

10% ap ratio does not make it decent, that's terrible. If you want to slow buy a frozen mallet which has better stats for her.

Captain Aishi3 votes

it's decent considering it also increases your E and ult damage by 60, and the slow is AOE instead of being on the target that you're attacking, which is what I was refering to

frozen mallet is great for sticking on one person, but leaving a trail of fire that slows everyone in it by 20% as they try to run is something different that can have it's uses

Szunray16 votes

Not to mention Illaoi's damage is her tentacles, which don't move, and Mordekaisers damage is his mace, which he carries with him.

If you run away from Mordekaiser and he catches up, he's still going to be doing full damage to you. If you run away from Illaoi after she ults, and she catches up, you're still away from her tentacles.

Ralanr2 votes

She's a zone control champion with no way to keep you in her zone.

She's not semi squishy like Heimer, so she doesn't offer the dim hope of killing her before her zone kills you (which is a trap when fighting donger anyway). Nor does she have and hard CC to keep an opponent in her zone (unlike Donger). And she needs to actively utilize her zone power (tentacles) while Donger doesn't (fuck those turrets).

I'm not sure if that makes her healthier than Donger, weaker, or both.

I keep using Heimerdinger because I don't know of many zone control champions.

Juggernauts are not Tanks. They typically build tanky but don't have the same hard CC, engage potential or defensive steroids of a tank.

Nautilus has a shield slow, grab, stun on passive and an ult knock up that can not be blocked. He can hard engage a lock down an entire team potentially but he can't 1v1 very well let alone 1v2 or higher.

Darius has short rang pull and a mediocre slow. He will build tanky and potentially do terrific damage but he has to rely on his team to get him in close or else he will be peeled and obliterated. He has no hard engage outside of flash.

People always make this QQ forum about Nasus as well. QQ nerf Nasus! A tank shouldn't be so tanky and do this much damage. Again not a bloody tank!

Nasus has one, albeit strong, targeted CC ability. So he can shut down one enemy's movement and AS. He does terrific damage with his infinite damage scaling Siphoning Strike while building tanky However, again, he has no hard engage and is extremely dependent on his team to get him inside to do his damage.

Juggernauts are slow plodding dealers of death and if you are stupid enough to engage in melee range with them and they are ahead and well farmed then you are going to die.

Tanks are iron giants who can close the distance and hold down the enemy so their team can clean up but deal arbitrary damage.

No worries m8! I just wasn't sure if you were being sarcastic or if you were being sincere. Morde is still weird for me though. I feel like most of the time he's trash but then I see someone experienced play him and they are damn near invincible with him. It's really polarizing how he's played from one extreme to the other.

Mad King Hades1 votes

I understand your confusion. He is extremely weak early game (no cc, slow movement), but later in game with a bit of food and a couple of dragons. Can't move through that.

INoble KnightI2 votes

Nautilus does not have a stun on his passive, it's a root. Also his ult can be blocked and it depends on what champ he has targets and spell shields.

Root and Stun are almost the same thing except you can attack from a root. I honestly thought it was the latter. But the only thing I can think of outside of Zhony's is Morgana's spell shield and Bard's Ult. My point was in all honesty was just that he has truck loads of CC.

Darius – the Hand of Noxus [1] 4800 IP / 880 RP SECONDARY BAR - Mana RELEASE DATE / 2012-05-23 LAST CHANGED V6.11 PRIMARY ROLE - Fighter SECONDARY ROLE - Tank

No he isn't. He's a primary fighter and falls und e the subclass of juggernaut.

If you go by secondary, then Xerath would be considered an assassin.

Here is a list of every melee champion and what group I think they belong in.

Juggernaut - easy to kite, lots of health, deal high damage

Darius DrMundo Garen Illaoi Mordekaiser Nasus Trundle Volibear Udyr Yorick

Tank - tons of cc, hard to kill, scale off of defensive stats or have defense built into kit

Alistar Amumu Braum Chogath Galio Gragas Leona Malphite Maokai Nautilus RammusSejuani Shen Sion TahmKench Zac Taric Thresh

Fighter - can engage themselves, deal good damage, not as tanky as above categories unless building for it

Aatrox Fiora Gangplank Hecarim Irelia JarvanIV Jax LeeSin Olaf Nocturne Pantheon Poppy RekSai Renekton Riven Shyvana Skarner Tryndamere Vi MonkeyKing XinZhao Warwick

Assassin - high damage, low defense, highly mobile

Akali Diana Fizz Katarina Khazix MasterYi Rengar Shaco Talon Yasuo Zed Kassadin

Other - oddballs not fitting any of the above or multiple of the above BlitzcrankSinged Ekko Evelynn Rumble Nunu

Feel free to let me know if I missed any or if you think any should be in a different category.

I honestly feel that Poppy is a tank.

Technically J4 is also, but something happened and now all I see is full AD J4.

Theiki Kayle2 votes

To be fair, Amumu might as well be a Juggernaut himself, he deals a lot of damage, even more if he gets an Abyssal or Liandry's in his build.

kile1475 votes

Yes but he does that by standing in the middle of the enemy team and crying on them for 5 minutes. If you let Darius stand in the middle of your team for as long as Amumu does he would get a penta every game.

Only Play Darius1 votes

Well Darius has a much harder time getting into the middle of the enemy team.
