    Are tank items op atm?

    I'm just tired of being stomped over and over again by bruisers. Garen for example it's a champion who can rush a Sunfire Cape, Warmog's, Randuin's and still do a lot of damage mid game (Which is why my team can hardly reach late game) or Olaf, with a Warmog's he's already a threat. Xin Zhao can rush an Iron Solari or a Warmog's and still do an efficient damage. Rumble gets a Rylai's and then rushes another tank item so he can keep on spamming in teamfights. Ezreal can go Gauntlet to counter the other adc and Tankarina is giving a lot of trouble in lowleague.Which makes me think that is not only the high base damage of bruisers (mostly) but all the items that are made to tank instead of damage, you know someone is really hard to kill when they get an early Giant's belt.Is there something that can be done against the League of Warmog's new metagame? Because with Black Cleaver, tank items and gapcloser bruisers/assassins, it's hard to follow the adc/apc meta.

    Bruisers and tanks mostly have a high base damage with attacks and abilities, and a low ratio on AP and AD.
    For this reason, they can take and always were able to take more tanky items instead of full damage.

    About defensive item picks for ADC's and APC's, that isn't something new.
    In S2, a lot of carries picked Guardian Angel instead of a 6th damage item, so that they also have an item that allows them to survive.
    Now health is the new meta, and will be used a lot more, so you can expect to see Warmog's Armor on carries.

    Since there also came 2 new items in S3 namely: Blade of the Ruined King and liandra's torment, we can counter health via our carries.
    Those items should help against the league of warmogs :P

    Er... bruiser items function like that. Though they are stronger this patch, they still function as bruiser items. The main problem is the health issue, not really because of overall tank items.

    Just have to wait until Riot makes more changes
