Noooooooo, lol.

Thornmail is terrible. Force of Nature is good but gives you no health.


I know Thornmail is bad, but if Atmogs makes the champion offtank, I'm going to say that name

Or I can change the phrase

I think Randuins + FoN is more offtanksh than Atmogs

Randuin's is okay, I just don't think much else can compare to atmogs right now on most offtanks.

Some of them are better off using something like Wit's End, Frozen Heart or Randuin's Omen and Force of Nature, but not all that many.

Atmogs is expensive, but its good since few people can play decently as a sustain damage dealer

BTW, why doesnt RIOT get rid of some items that people dont buy, or remake them? I've seen Leviathan once or twice only, sunfire is another terrible item late game

Sunfire was alright before those last couple of nerfs. No idea why they nerfed the AoE damage down from 40 to 35, because it wasn't very popular even when it had 40.

Purely my own opinion of course.


Glad you added that disclaimer because my head just about exploded.

Offtank implies you're gonna do damage somehow, at least with perhaps a trinity Force.

There really is no specific 'Best Offtank' in the game, as many people have said before. Although if I had to have a favourite mine would be Lee Sin. Closely followed by Cho'Gath.

I don't really consider Lee Sin to be an Offtank.

I feel he's a "Tanky Assassin" personally.

The main thing I hate about today's metagame is that you can't be a successful tank without Warmog's. Not too long ago I could just build the necessary defensive items and at least negate the incoming damage. Now, even enemies without penetration of any kind, you still drop pitifully easy unless it's 1v1, in which case you can't hardly do enough damage to make a difference anyway (unless you are Amumu or Malphite).

The difference between Off-Tank and Tanky DPS... Off-Tanks can tank or deal damage with minimal effort either way, but need to put more effort into dealing damage. Tanky DPS are made to deal damage and already have base defensive stats necessary to keep them alive while they are doing so. They can tank, but it is not recommended since they do much better damage than they take anyway.

I want to say Cho-Gath is one of the best Off-Tanks because his skill-set makes it too easy. He has great CC and still deals a bit of damage if you want him to. Trundle is good if you expect the enemy AD Carry to get fed, because he counters that like a boss.

ಠ_ಠ

You're obviously not playing a real tank then.

I tank fine with Maokai. I build 1, maybe 2 health items. Neither of which are Warmogs because it detracts from other resists and gold I use for warding because of solo queue bads who don't ward.

Best Utility: Blitzcrank / Singed / Maokai
Best Jungler: Rammus / Skarner / Udyr
Best solo top: Olaf / Cho'Gath
Best tanky dps: Tryndamere / Jax
