Then there are a few tanky dps that can fulfill the role semi-decently. Hecarim works pretty well for it, as he only really needs a triforce to do decent damage and can cause quite a bit of disruption. Skarner can tank pretty well, and his ult is a great initiation/shut down. Nasus can generally be pretty tanky and can shut down a ranged AD pretty hard, but he has no method for peeling really so it's shaky. And so on down the list. Hope that helps. Edit: Forgot Alistar. He's great at cc but he always felt insanely squish to me. If I failed to get that early game snowball rolling I'd have a really hard time coming back from it. Also generally your role as a tank is going to be to initiate, disrupt, and peel for your carry. If you go bot lane support you're going to have to balance your item building with your warding. You're going to have to understand how to build fluidly to match the enemy team, and know when it's a good time to start a fight. For instance, when playing singed you can toss on your ult and dive, flipping out the carry and dropping an EXTREMELY inconvenient slow for the enemy team. Most people will see your giant purple cloud and go to hit you. This is okay. If you were, however, playing Taric, generally you aren't going to want to run in guns a-blazing. Wait for someone to stick their toe over that line, stun them, and watch your team mercilessly devour them. You'll be soaking the majority of the damage, so if you die it's okay, so long as your team comes out the winning party. If you are part of the survivng group you CAN tank towers without a creep wave there, depending on how late the match is. Don't be afraid to push without a wave.

Re: League of Legends
Look into getting DFG to strengthen your burst damage on Annie. Not necessary in some cases tho.

Re: League of Legends
Shen is probably the most OP tank in the game. He starts off slow as a jungler since he really only has q and auto attacks, but at top he's devastating and has so much sustain. His ult is global and can either save your life or your teammates. He has a taunt that's also a dash so it can affect multiple enemies and can even be used to jump over walls. If you can taunt the enemy carries in a team fight it's pretty much gg.

Re: League of Legends
@Speeddemon, AP/Tank Alistar is the way to go.
~+16 AP, 3.2MP5, and AD @ 18 runes and quints. ~21-24 in Defensive Masteries, with some in Utility and 1 in Offensive. You'll do plenty of damage prior to your AD carry hitting them, which makes their job easier and the CC is great for any stun or last minute decisions. You're heal (E) is pretty potent so use it whenever you can. I usually grab Exhaust Flash, but anything could work to your liking. This is my own build for AP/Tank Alistar but everyone has preferences. 1st item: CD Boots 2nd item: Catalyst -> RoA 3rd item: Frozen Heart 4th item: Game usually doesn't last that long BUT Sunfire Cape 5th item: Reverie (This can be made early, like before RoA, but you have a Catalyst) 6th item: FoN, Warmogs, Thornmail (Whatever needed)

Re: League of Legends
if you're support you want heart of gold + philos, RoA is so expensive and the AP is really unneeded
build something that helps your team out. shurelyas is usually the best choice since its cheap, maybe aegis if your jungler chooses to go more offensive |

Re: League of Legends
Eh, those runes will work up to a point I guess, but higher up on the ladder you need armor reds/yellows or else you will just get destroyed early levels.

Re: League of Legends
I mainly play support. Lots of Soraka, Alistar, Nunu, and I'm going to make a point to learn how to play Janna, Blitzcrank, and Nidalee effectively. What runes, specifically reds and quints, should I run? Right now I have flat armor yellows, cooldown/level blues, and HP quints.
And as long as I'm talking about support, where do you feel Sona falls now? Honestly I don't really like her. Besides her ult she's pretty much useless late. At least Soraka has a silence and starcall to mess with their mag res.

Re: League of Legends
armor reds and gold quints for pure support, armor reds and armor quints for tankier/offensive supports (leona/blitz). cdr/lv blues are ok I guess, but you end up building a lot of cdr on supports anyway so I usually take mr/lv.
Sona isn't that great overall, just because many of the other supports are a lot better in lane as well as late game (the aura nerfs hurt her a lot) |
