Does it feel like tanks are going to be screwed again in season 6?

Tanks have not been viable out side of support for so long. They do not jungle quickly, they do not scale well into the late game(damage) and have been constantly nerfed for ganking early. Tank junglers have been pushed out of the jungle constantly by bruisers that do more damage in the same builds.

Now ADCs are going to get their items quicker and juggernauts are going are getting better itemization.

What are actual tank supposed to do?

Season 6, finally Riot decides it's time to remove tanks from the game, for some reasons unknown to us

This sentence alone is flat-out wrong.

S5, as a season, was the strongest place tanks had been in ages. Remember, Maokai top, Sejuani jungle, Gragas jungle, Sion top, Nautilus top? All common picks at some point in this season.

Actually, it's more like bruisers who aren't meta at all anymore. I don't see anymore Jax, Irelia, Nasus. They just feel like they don't have their place anymore. Tanks are cool to have, but they're still kinda there.

Crowd control. They seem to be forcing defensie Tanks into the Support role and offensive Tanks into the jungle. Offensive Tanks actually should be helped with the new Hunter's Talisman since most deal AoE damage and therefore can heal a lot from it.

It feels like everything Riot touches gets screwed. I'm almost to the point where it feels like everything is so out of place, so torn up, and so broken- both good and bad- that the game hardly feels fun anymore. It doesn't feel like "League of Legends" anymore. It feels like "This is a game, play it, fuck you."

Collaborate with their buffed ADC and juggernaut teammates to outplay the enemy team ADC, juggernaut, and tank players.
