No they don't. tanks shouldn't be able to survive 1v5 for even a short amount of time

Tanks aren't nearly as tanky as they used to be, that's basically a fact. They deal more damage, but if I wanted to deal damage, I'd play a fighter. When I'm playing a tank, I want to be tanky.

When Riot makes tanks "more forgiving" for low elo players then tanks in higher elos are unkillable

KnoyleJul 21, 20163 votes

No, they wouldn't They would be killed last like they should be. A tank is supposed to be making openings for damage dealers but never be the prime target because It would be quicker and more effective to kill the ADC or Mage. Right now everyone is just kind of "up for grabs"

It honestly depends on the comp of the enemy team. If they have some ways of tank shred, then sure a tank will die within seconds. If their damage dealers DONT have tank shred, then a tank with a decent amount of items could survive around 5-6 seconds.

This mindset is lategame and everyone is even in items, mind you. There are situation when a tank gets very far ahead and is basically unkillable. He could easily stand in the middle of an enemy team for like 10 or even 15 seconds.

Here's the problem though: everyone can shred tanks. Youmuu's is often a first-buy for adcs, and mortal reminder can be good against pretty much everyone if you're the adc (everyone has more health than you).

Mortal Reminder is the Grievous Wounds upgrade. You're looking for Lord Dominik's Regard.

This is especially true when you're Garen and pop w while dancing to the sounds of abilities tickling you.

It's even more sad when trying to run. You just can't get away sometimes.

Almost everyone reaches 30%+ cdr with their core items these days. The cc duration is more than doubled this season due to more frequent ability spamming.

But then that tank is a 1500 stack Nasus and gets a penta.

vs a team with no reliable CC or movement speed or gap closers or QSS and you are not fighting janna or a singed or poppy or vayne or kog maw or leona or kindred or morgana or azir or anivia damn.. the list keeps growing... why people think nasus is still viable again ?

Because of the noob trap. To fair, last time I saw an LCS Nasus, the pros themselves where so confused he ended carrying. With 80% of the league population stationed below plat, it's to be expected that the belief of Nasus the Ascended, The God, The Cane, The 20 Minute 400 Stack(you get the point) is widespread.

Same situation as Illaoi, "oh man, Illaoi just 0-90 me in one combo". "You just escaped my perfect engage by walking..." "shut up nub git gud illaoi nab champ"

OP said tanks people not juggernauts

I've seen so many Shen's take YEARS to die. Even with armor pen he just won't die! When he does though I smile a little inside, but he respawn and were back at it again >.> Damn Shen you tanky! MissFortune item 3070 [slayer-jinx-unamused]
