I'm sorry, What? Nyx's absorb has a high threat level, directing aggro towards herself.

(PSN)Yes-Man-Kablaam Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 (edited) Linbo himself is not the tankiest frame as the title implies he's just tanky when he's not he just uses the rift to avoid everything. Though i'm not sure if he'd be an actually good tank anyways as the best he could do is guardian derision through the rift though he can CC sometimes. A good tank has 3 things. Aggro (Guardian derision makes this available to anyone), durability, team buffs to support dps. At the end of the day it's rhino and chroma both with cc as their 4 too so that's cool with rhino being my favorite.

You assumed I was talking about her 1 I presume which is still damage directed away from team mates Nyx's Absorb is more Tank-like than anything Limbo has. Nyx also has high base Health and Shields naturally. She could probably be considered a tank, which I really don't know why you even brought it up because nobody was arguing with you that Nyx wasn't a tank. You just brought that up for no reason. Just because you have never heard anyone call Nyx a tank, doesn't mean she isn't. Just because Nyx is Tank-like, has no relevance on Limbo being Tank-like. You literally had zero reason to even mention Nyx in a discussion of Limbo. You're just muddying the waters. Seriously, I'm done with this conversation. Whether people consider Limbo a tank or not a tank has no relevance on the game, and is simply an exercise in trying to fit characters who have lots of different utility into a small descriptive box. It's literally a waste of time and over-simplifying. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AEP8FlyBoy Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Oh come on guys. It's obvious that Loki is the better tank. (all jokes aside, this thread is pretty dumb). Obligatory inb4 lock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(XBOX)ECCHO SIERRA Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 1 hour ago, Lannen said: Being unhittable is not tanky, it's an avoidance mechanic. Being tanky means he can take hits and shrug them off or keep going against odds that may kill more fragile frames. This debate has been tried before and shut down before, because if you slip out of the void for just a moment and take one significant hit you go splat. By this logic my Ivara is the tankiest frame in the game because I can perma-Prowl and thus never get hit so I'm the best tank ever right? Pretty much this.

There is nothing smart about making a knowingly contentious thread and arguing incessantly using definitions for terminology that differ from established definition, then later implying this was just a social experiment after finding out that nobody agreed with them. What was the experiment? To see if poor arguments could win? To see if semantics could redefine our understanding of what a "Tank" means?

(PSN)PwnmonsterX Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 This one is easy: For a warframe to be considered tanky they have to be able to do at least 2 things: 1. Be able to defend something 2. Be able to survive solo So basically any warframe that is good at both Survival and Defense missions is considered tanky. It doesn’t matter how that is achieved, moreso, because it can be achieved multiple ways, it adds more dynamic to the game, and more freedom to play multiple roles in different ways. Think of the one Warframe who could both last the longest in survival and defense and you have your answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
