So I just finished a game where I was tanking and I did my tanky duties and scarficed myself so that my carries could stay alive, I ended the game with only 6 deaths, which I feel is pretty good for a Tank, but it begs the question "when is it good tanking or just a Bad Tank"

I know I try to keep my deaths under 5, and I tend to do a good job of that, so I just wanted to know everyone's opinion on the matter.

and if the question is not clear it's how many times can you die and still and not be considered a bad tank.

Any time that you died when you didn't need to, you did badly. Whenever you die and it was worth it, you did well. Numbers don't matter.


Thanks to The Nameless Bard and Vavena for the sigs!

yeah thats how I feel, but I still try to not give away to many kills, but if I die 10 times and it results in 10 aces, then heck yeah i'm okay with that!

Score really doesn't matter if you're playing tank. You can have 0-10-20, and you could be the reason you won. Good initiation and you will probably die, but you'll also grant your team an ace.

Things turn out best for the people who make the best out of the way things turn out.

Wow, do you really need to ask yourself this question? If you're the only one dying in team fights and it's because you threw yourself away for the rest of your teammates then yes, you're doing your job. I could give a **** if a tank went 0/30, as long as your carries are like 50/0, because that shows that the enemy team is clearly filled with a bunch of morons that somehow think killing the tank first will ensure them a victory. (That or you're just doing your job of keeping them off your carries)

Keep on dying baby, your carries will **** slap the people that killed you in the time the enemy team wastes on picking you off.

As a tank, a positive score means nothing to you. You could be 2-9-33, but if those 33 assists end up winning you the game, congratulations, your doing fine! Now, having a good score doesn't hurt either, being 7-6-13 is still a good score, AS LONG AS YOU WIN
