Aoe that scales with 12% of bonus hp lol. don't forget a huge thing with E's passive part. where dealing damage with it gives you energy back, now you can restore 6x that value per camp instead of 3. | ||

Maybe teams need to start looking for people who main tanks in solo que even if they are lower ranked on the ladder? At least they will be very comfortable with those champs? Not sure it would work but it does seem like the current system of grabbing the highest ranked top and then putting them on completely different champs. The problem with running tank tops in solo queue. is they require teamwork to function these days outside of absolutely OP champs (like when mundo would win almost every game he got picked at the top of the ladder). this is the role riot wants them to have. but it means that in a game already trying to divorce itself from individual skill as the primary factor in a game, the top lane struggles even more as riot tries to remove as many aspects of running the tank style top that rely on individual skill as opposed to coordination. Of course the top players all run carry champs, its the only way they can show they are the top players when playing alone. picking from a lower skill bracket from only tank mains would be trying to play the lottery. "I hope this guy was actually good enough to be pro but not able to show it in game because of his champion choice" | ||

2 obvious ones: 1) it is harder to rank up without carry champs. so naturally you have a smaller pool to pick from if you are looking for mainly 'tank' players in soloq 2) it is easier to learn how to play tank champs than it is to play carry champs. if you can play fiora/irelia/etc at a high challenger level, you probably have the ability to learn malphite maokai. not that that isn't true vice versa, but it is definitely more difficult and time consuming to pick up higher skill cap carry champs. there are definitely more | ||

Like how they find good defensive defenceman in nhl. Or the "gravity" stat in nba. I mean having the most goals and assists in the whl does not always translate to being best nhl. I'm not saying I have a solution just wondering if teams will employ scouts and they might start look for specific skills just because LCS teams have such an unstable environment they can't afford to keep a top laner for more than a split or two before needing to bail for a known player or risk compromising all of their income, doesn't mean recruiting is flawed. | ||
