Sunfire, IBG, and Grasp could use some nerfs.

Yea it was more balanced then when at least the tanks didn't do as much damage. Now they can 1 shoe people.

Same; I loved Nautilus. I recently played another game as him, dumpestered some Malzahar top and got a pentakill. I honestly don't know what hte fuck was up with that damage summoner 31

thats because you dont understand tanks, or underappreciate utility. otherwise youd know that tanks are the worst enemies of exactly those beefy champions who deal a lot of damage.

nothing like catching out an adc on garen, just to get kicked away by an alistar headbutt.

also, tanky bruisers are nowhere near the meta righ now.

I was talking about Tank Yi/Fiora/Ekko and shit like that. New champions keep popping up that deal an insane amount of damage when building full tank and it is not fun at all.

the problem of those champions is, that riot absolutely refuses to restrict bruiser items to health stacking bruisers. its the same issue with adc and assassins using those items right now.

yi and fiora are melee adc, who are designed to hav a ton of outplay potential in their kits because theyre expected to build squishy. the idea is that they can use abilities like riposte and alpha strike to dodge deadly cc and survive as squishies in melee.

right now theyre benefiting from items like titanic hydra and steraks gage that give them health aswell as ad. which basically turns them into better brusiers than the bruisers who are supposed to build those items.

in yis case its also fervor of battle, which gives him a whooping 112 physical on hit damage without the need to build offensive items for it.

these champions need scaling changes more towards damage itemization. and the brusier items need melee only tags and health limiters like warmorgs. so carries and assassins cant just build steraks gage and maw to become immune to burst.

Those are the same thing. The only time we have a "tank meta" is when tanks do too much damage. You think it's coincidence that Sion, Gragas, and Sejuani, 3 of the highest damage tanks available were what dominated during the Cinderhulk Era?

Welcome to tank fizz/ekko top lane. Where you can't do anything but listen to the chorus of "outplayed" in all chat.
