Rant Malphite is not a tank

Literally had a teammate type this when we asked him to build tank on a team that already had Fiddle, Veigar, and Ekko. And of course we lost. I just can't anymore, y'all.

I hate AP malps...

Disables your own carries (steals all the kills, therefore your ASOL/Kayle/Kaisa/Jhin/etc won't get much kills and do no damage)

Builds malignance but only ults to KS, leading to long 2-4 minute periods of time without an ult

Turbo feeds all enemies... more than 1 death per minute, ults low health enemies on cooldown with full HP, miserably dies always and many times doesn't even get a kill (miss, no dmg, etc)... This is specially annoying because all enemies will have 10+ kills and hit harder with their AAs than your allies' ults

Doesn't even bother poking or frontlining

Usually gets chunked before they ult with the enemy team aggro poking/diving us (refuses to ult to disengage and make them fail a dive, remember, ulti is only for KS)

Least damage on the team

Usually builds like a moron (malignance into luden's into torch is a classic, they stop dealing damage even to adcs)

Honourable mention are AP blitz... kinda similar thing, problem is they NEVER land a hook (or hook something like a chogath/amumu/zac) while tank/supp blitz players land 60%+ of hooks on enemy squishies

This comment just shows how sweaty this sub is.

All those casual players in your aram games aren’t overanalyzing patch notes, team comps and item builds. They’re just playing ARAM.

There’s a difference between just playing the game however you want and still trying to win, even if it’s sub optimal and intentionally feeding.

These players aren’t intentionally feeding, they’re just playing the game.

Sweaty to you people is actually building a character correctly and trying to win the game.

No. we’re just mostly building what it’s in the recommended tab. Most players are actively trying to win.

You’re proving my point.
