The tank meta is broken

Riot I love you guys, I really do. I understand the difficulty it takes to balance a champion since one change can influence the whole game, and I respect that about you guys. The thing is your nerfs to ekko and yasuo haven't really affected things all that much. I mean taking away 5 ad is nothing for ekko, and although I like what you have done with yassuo, it's still a problem. I don't want you to take the same route with swain ( the whole well people think he's a tank so we'll make him tanky af), but there must be something that could help. You know something's wrong when ekko doesn't even need to ult unless he's almost dead, which is like never. You see champs like kha and graves being almost nigh unkillable if they build a little health. I'm just saying riot something has to be done. I hate seeing tankko since I am a lv7 ekko that as never built tank, but the problem is that they have a higher winrate then ap ekko. Please Riot

This is not a tank meta.

I'd rather call it tanky meta. Many items are providing damage and health at the same time, or otherwise simultaneously augmenting kill potential and durability. But champs are not becoming tanks just because of a stat imbalance. they're more durable than is healthy. A few real tanks are doing a bit too much damage while not actually being durable enough. (less of a problem. i'd like to see real tanks get tankier and less damaging. Malphite in particular.) I've thought maybe tanks active damage should be brought down, but they should be able to do more damage if they are being attacked, which would reward them for doing their job.

Tank meta where??

? Tanks need a shift in defense spike. Early/Mid game tanks are almost unkillable if a carry isnt really fed. However when it comes late game tanks are getting crit 500-600+ even with 250+ armor since black cleaver and LDR it makes it an absolute pain.

It's not even a tank meta.
