True tanks this season are a joke

I can take someone like Darius, go almost full tank and do more damage than any of them. And by true tanks I'm referring to things like Rammus, Poppy, Malphite, etc.

Yup. That's the intention.

Darius will not, however, bring the peel, initiation, disruption, and crowd control that a true tank will bring.

This is absolutely not true. Darius can potentially pull your entire team in, and he has a pretty good slow. The cc that bruisers offer is just as good (if not better than what tanks offer). Heck, I'd rather have an AOE stun from Jax (while being basically immune to damage while doing it) than some sh*tty taunt from Rammus.

... Yeah, he can potentially do that, but he won't against any competent team, even if he's a competent Darius.

Jax has a small AoE stun. Meanwhile, Rammus has a taunt, knockup, and ramping AoE slow.

Darius has a pull and slow. Meanwhile Sejuani has a knockup, low-cooldown stun, skillshot stun, and AoE area slow.

Nasus has a heavy slow. Meanwhile Malphite has a targeted slow, AoE attack speed slow, and high-duration knockup.

Juggernauts and Divers do not at all offer the same utility a tank does.
