Shen, rammus and amumu only ones that don't build any offense generally(even amumu go abyssal late often) That's pretty much the definition of a tank. Guys like Irelia and Rumble are tanky dps/mage because that deal damage but don't have any utility to protect a squishy. | ||

I agree!! Zilean + Jax is kinda OP atm Jax just jump on any squishies while being revive by Zilean Double AP vs no AD The good thing about double AP is that they can stay in the back doing damage but Jax can just jump to them and kill them. | ||

Guys like Irelia and Rumble are tanky dps/mage because that deal damage but don't have any utility to protect a squishy. So your asking why they aren't played when shen is super nerfed from when he was pickable and rammus is considered a weak jungle by many, amumu is still played quite a bit eu side. Singed is pretty much the definition of tank, he just needs items to not be ignorable, his whole kit is zoning, kiting and getting carry in range, jarvan is considered a tank but most top level players build at least 1 or 2 offensive items on him otherwise he is useless. I mean if you pick shen and a support in a game(ignoring the fact his lane is shit and he can't really jungle) you have 2 characters that do 0 damage late game(carries will have banshees your q + passive does like 5 percent of their health), you have a one second disable with mercs. Jax has just as much cc and does 10x more damage, and is still tanky as shit. Irelia does way more damage heals for a fair amount and gets just as tanky with super cc reduction. Honestly the only way amumu is good is for aoe/double mage for his passive as well as his ult. Plus if you look at dota it is pretty much the same thing(diff mechanics ignored) tanky dps >tanks. Also amumu is pretty much tanky dps since tears+e+sunfire is a lot of constant damage(on par or more than singed) | ||

Honestly he was really passive, if that was dyrus they would have forced bot lane back every few waves and forced a jungle babysit. | ||

This is especially important for their sponsors to see just how damn good they are, and should also coax the sponsors into fucking buying in and ponying up the cash to send these teams to future tournaments. The fact that they had to do so much stuff just to finance their own way there is pretty sad on the part of the sponsors. | ||

Yeah it is so much easier for an eu sponsor to cover travel since it costs what 400$ Since esports so centralized around germany pretty much costs what 400$ for milenium to travel there? So many na teams are so spread apart and Us is so big even mlg events cost a big chunk of cash to fly to, which is part of why the eu esports scene tends to be much bigger. | ||

He parks over the point with his E up and if he dies that's 7 seconds that the other team cannot capture, and then he revives and teleports back into the fray. Can't select Teleport, and Revive is likely not so attractive if its cooldown is like 1/3 of the length of the game. | ||
