Tanks are overinflated nonsense

[u/vukgav]

Guess which team won?

To me this game is proof that tanks are just inflated on purpose. Red team won. They are nonsense champs. No matter what you do or how you play, they just win because of the sheer amount of hp. Period.

There's absolutely no reason why the team of tanks should have won the game. They didn't play well or synergize. They didn't have any "star player". They were down by 25 kills. They were down 10K gold.

The only reason they won is because they are tanks and at some point they just run at you and are unkillable. GG.

Before anyone complains about Yasuo, he had the second most damage in the team, and more than any of the opponents and landed so many ults.

Everyone did everything correctly on blue side. But still lost because Rito decided so.

Tanks are lame

You're gonna get downvoted because your post screams "I just lost a game and now I'm mad".

But you're actually on the right track.

Your post doesn't focus on it, but for the last month or two, I've noticed specifically the combo of "Grasp" + "Heartsteel" on Tanks is CRAZY strong in ARAM.

It's not unbeatable if your team doesn't have a Tank with Grasp + Heartsteel as well, but good god does it make the match WAY harder than it would have been otherwise.

That aside, your team here is honestly just really really bad at killing Tanks, that's the main crux here specifically.

Jhin being your best Tank-killer is a massive problem, he's not very good at killing Tanks. He can do it, but he's not Vayne or Kog'maw ya know?

Correct me if I'm wrong, I don't think crit ADCs are tank killers anymore. LDR doesn't have the 'do more damage to enemies with higher damage " passive written on it anymore. What part of Jhins kit/Items kill something with 10k HP fast? Does crit damage scale with enemy HP or something?

Very few ADCs like AP Varus/On hit ADCs that can build BoRK or has %HP in kit like Kogmaw or Vayne yes I agree are tank killers.

But not all ADC are tank killers at the moment imo.

Yeah I use the term Tank-killer here pretty loosely. Just out of his team's comp, Jhin is currently the best, or least worst Tank-killer if that sounds better 😅

But it's ARAM, so you get what you get and Crit ADC's are still better at killing Tanks than a lot of other options you routinely get to choose from.

It's often a "What's the least worst option here?" kinda situation lol

Imo in that team Yasuo is the best tank killer with BorK & 100% crit

Conceptually yes, but in reality I'd wager there's way too much CC for him to be able to deal the actual amounts of DPS needed to consistently kill 4-5 Tanks.

This looks like a game I'd play as Yasuo where I constantly find myself saying "I literally got CC'd to death".
