Choosing a tank

[quote=JEFFY40HANDS]I like the way Riot has been balancing lately, but it feels like eventually, there will be no need for tanks. Tanks are typically slow to start, require MASSIVE farm to actually get tanky, and are then completely reliant on their team making their deaths worth it....I could say they might need to reduce tank item costs bit. Or add more mid game tank items....[/quote]

[quote=Mooninites][quote=Luther3000] Problem is that these days AD carries can punch through any amount of armour. I could build Udyr with 300 armour and 4k health and spam [[Turtle Stance]] every fight, and I'd still get taken down in less than ten seconds by an equally fed AD carry. Especially since they removed dodge. [/quote] Malphite is pretty strong anti-AD champ. when I run premades with my team, as soon as we see triple AD we go for xerath, urgot, and malphite. Usually completely shuts down their team[/quote]

[quote=TheJohn][quote=JEFFY40HANDS] Love how no one (that I read) mentioned Amummu, there was a point when EVERYONE hated Ammumu. OMG CURSE OF TEH SAD MUMMY IS OP. OMG % HP DAMAGE SO BROKEN.....But now, Ammumu is like Ashe, no one plays em (or barely anyone plays) [/quote] Its because in the first post, I said I dont enjoy rammus and amumu[/quote]

[quote=Nighthawk]Guys im just saying, if John doesn't want you to talk about something, it's his thread, so please do listen to him :P Anyways yes Malphite is very strong. He imo isn't pure tank though. I would say really only Leona is a good pure tank. And she is a very good pure tank with holy balls tons of cc.[/quote]

[quote=NicknameMy][[Blitzcrank]] was mentioned, where to put him and how to play him? He has no sustain, is meele, can't jungle and can't heal. What to do with a champ that has a broken kit? Play the Wintermond-Metagame? BTW: They should add items which give more armor and mres depending on how much armor/mres you have. Same counts for HP. And that only on pure tank items. For that, nerf other defensive items. This would nerf tanky dps and could bring the pure tanks back.[/quote]

[quote=Nighthawk]>ignoring most of nick's post Blitz can jungle well, even though Alistar is generally superior.[/quote]

[quote=Crows foot]If Ali is superior to Blitz in jungle, Blitz have to suck![/quote]

[quote=caucheka]biltz is good going bot for supporting, has amazing cc like stairs but doesnt have the heal.[/quote]

[quote=JEFFY40HANDS]Blitz is amazing...he has too much cc for 1 champ haha. But id take support nidalee for the poke and heal. And earlier I had skipped most of the posts. If you like cc type tanks late game leona is pretty strong and her bot lane support is powerful due to her cc. Technically you can build taric as a tank and he has a good buff for bot lane. His stun is rather reliable for ensuring kills. But pros just build him supporty.[/quote]
