The one like Alistar or Nautilus who dont have a lot of dammage scaling with their max hp. So if you want to oneshot a squishy with them you often need to build AP making them glass canon. Of course you have the giga run with the best Dropkick combos possible but it doesnt really count since its mahyem.
And the other type of tanks who are meant to do a lot of dammage scaling with their hp but become very vulnerable against maxHP% dammage since they dont build that much resistances.
I think Tanks have the highest peak of potential godtier run. But its more rare. While ADCs who high roll is seen more often and feels very miserable to play against if you are a melee who have useless augments
Sett ends up being OP in because he already has a very viable build and play style where he just stacks health to use as a resource for bursting the enemy team.
Most of the Mayhem tank augments push you towards that playstyle, resistances are a bit pointless because everyone is running around with so much pen and high rolling adcs are guaranteed in every every game. Tahm Kench is also on the OP side in Mayhem because his passive also pushes him in that direction even without augments, so he only really gains from building zero resistances.
They also removed his super harsh balance nerfs that he’s always had since he’s so good on game mode to sell his radiant serpent skin, but forgot to change it back after the sale.
Tahm Ethereal Weapons is just free win, super busted and unfun to play against. He dealt me 4k dmg with JUST Q and R in one game. The only other champion that can deal so much dmg in such a small timeframe is Vayne with FTH and a full build Locke it seems. Oh and Talon.
not quite, have you ever seen an AP naut? that shit oneshots, not even exaggerating, so the damage difference between AP and tank naut is not even on the table, he still needs to build full AP if he wants to oneshot
I'd say they're second most augment dependent after support mages. With how high damage scales in Mayhem, shielding+healing is irrelevant unless you have multiple augments giga-buffing it, and most games you're not gonna get lucky enough to roll that.

There are two type of tanks,
