Boards believe Tanks are a in a bad spot and a gutted class
Simply because tanks got low pick rate and everyone picking carries because they don't wanna depen on someone else to win .
Just wait until Tanks are buffed and hear the " Tanks are op " cries .
Are you assuming that it is the same people that will be crying about tanks? That is pretty stupid. A safer assumption would be that the people who hate tanks will start speaking up more often.
Tanks ARE in a bad spot right now. Statistically AND practically. When Riven has more survivability than a tank by building full damage, it is time to start considering whether or not there is even a point in having tanks in the game at all. Riven isn't the only one... Jax, Irelia, Aatrox, and a lot more that I don't feel like naming right now have MORE survivability, more mobility, comparable CC, and any damage at all.
But wait!! Nunu is doing well so we must be in a tank meta right?!? What a joke. Out of the top 30 champions in the Top lane, Only 4 of them are tanks.
Sion is near troll pick status. He is a support in the top lane. Malphite is a troll pick if you first pick it. Poppy's counters are way too impactful to be worthy of first picking. Cho'gath is probably the only one that is on the safeish side to first pick. Top lane is dominated by Fighters and Bruisers right now. Ranged champions and mages are also outperforming tanks. Not a single Tank in the game is performing as well as Vayne top.... Isn't she supposed to be an ADC!? There are 18 champions in the top 30 who are bruisers and fighters. There are even more Marksman than Tanks in the Top Lane with 4 champions. There is nearly an equal number of mages in the top 30 to tanks at 3 champions.
In the Jungle role, there are only 3 Tanks in the top 30.
Jungle is dominated by the same type of champions as the Top lane is. Fighters and Bruisers. Less bruisers here.
In the Support role, there aren't even really 30 practical champions to choose from. However, the only ones with 49% and above win rates are
and 
We are NO WHERE NEAR a tank meta. Even the tank metas in the past could be considered an "everything" meta because way more champions were viable than just tanks in every role if you look at all of the old statistics and tier lists. Even in the Cinderhulk meta, there was only one tank that was considered "god tier" in the Top Lane with Fiora and Irelia being dominant back then. The "Tank meta" that all of the tank haters hated, enabled the game to have the most variety in every role. Comps were allowed a lot more room for creativity and innovation. Top of the food chain analysts also agree with this sentiment. Now if you attempt to innovate, you die in .25 seconds by a caster minion running Conqueror.
