Another good one is "Why is Darius so squishy? Isn't he a tank? I get blown up by DRAVEN!?!?!?!?!"

EvilUnicornLordOct 26, 20169 votes

Are you forgoing The Black Cleaver, Frozen Mallet, and other possible health + Attack Damage items to go full tank?

No? Then you aren't a tank.

Legit had somebody ask why Trynd does so much damage if he is a tank. I seriously believe people think

Melee=Tank

TyrekGoldenspearOct 26, 20161 votes

Sure pretty much every tank is melee, but it doesn't work the other way people! XD

Why do divers like Jinx and Caitlyn almost always get burst down before they can do any damage?

I'm not sure I consider Singed to be a tank anymore for that reason, He's more like jugger-mage (jugger-mage not my idea but I like it)

why are Assassins allowed to solo kill me as ADC in under one second?!?!

Jet SettOct 26, 20163 votes

They're tanks, just tanks that have little to no cc and are so given damage to make up for it.

DrMundo Darius Shyvana are tanks as they soak up damage like they're meant to. They also deal damage rather than the traditional heavy cc given to tanks, making them juggernauts, but juggernauts are really just tanks with less utility and more damage.

EndlessSorcererOct 26, 20169 votes

Tanks are threats primarily due to their utility.

Fighters (and Juggernauts) are threats primarily due to their damage.

Both can be very durable depending on how they are built. However, durability is not the lone factor which defines a champion as a tank.

Mundo, Darius and Shyvana are all damage-threats with low utility.

They are fighters, not tanks.

Jet SettOct 26, 20161 votes

They're classified as Fighter Tanks.

EndlessSorcererOct 26, 201610 votes

That's the old tagging system and it has been defunct for quite a while.

They are Juggernauts. Shyvana is an arguable inclusion, but Riot has said that they plan to change her in the pre-season to suit the role.

RaiokuMoonscarOct 29, 20161 votes

The thing about Shy is that she is currently neither a Juggernaut (no sustain in her kit like every single other one) or a Diver (No CC outside of her ult which is extremely minimal and buggy), She is a middle ground between the two and can't really be classified as either or atm imo

RalanrOct 26, 20165 votes

Xerath is also a mage/assassin and Ekko is an assassin/fighter (no mage at all).

The old system kinda silly. Refer to EndlessSorcerer's link for a better understanding of the new subclass system.

Jet SettOct 26, 20162 votes

Unfortunately for me I'm using the general terms, rather than going by Riot's system. Riot calls them juggernauts, but if you were describing them it'd probably be along the lines of "Tank that does damage instead of crowd control"

I just love arguing semantics, so I often get mixed up into this issue often. Juggernauts are tanks, but they aren't "tanks", so I'm wrong, but you totally get where I'm coming from.

RalanrOct 26, 20162 votes

Yeah, I get where you're coming from. I just don't like it.

TyrekGoldenspearOct 26, 20161 votes

They are tanks in the traditional sense, not the Riot Games sense.

I actually need help with Shyvana though. I've generally gotten used to Darius and the damage he does and an easy counter of long range. (Sometimes play Off tank Caitlyn top. REALLY easy to fight Darius with that. item 3053 item 3071 item 3072 item 3085 item 3006 item 3025 or item 3022 . Youre welcome) But I cant kite Shyvana for shit. Any ideas?
