@Riot, please buff tanks

The stats don't lie. Tanks are literally garbage right now. If you look at champion.gg, almost every top lane tank champion has less than a 50% win rate.

The following top laners have less than a 50% win rate: -Ryze -Fizz -Nautilus -Poppy -Trundle -Dr. Mundo -Tahm Kench -Cho'Gath -Volibear -Ekko -Nasus -Gnar -Garen -Sejuani -Shen -Galio -Singed -Vladimir

Ok, I didn't list every top laner with less than a 50% win rate, but as you can see most of these champions are tanks, or champions who have abused tank items at some point (Ekko, Vladimir, Ryze, etc). The problem with tanks is simple. Every time their items are strong, those items end up getting abused by champions they're not intended for (champions who aren't supposed to be tanks). So how do we buff tank items without them being abused by non tanks?

every other tank item than spirit visage and omen is complete garbage. riot garbaged sunfire cape and nerfed every single tank item in the game and now they are wondering why fiora and yasuo are suddenly op top. they gave junglers zac and support's maokai and trashed everything else.

The reason pretty much every champion you listed has a low win rate is because you can't blind pick them without being punished.

Ryze is super oppressive top if you face anyone good with him. Top Fizz should not exist, at all. The bruiser build was one of the most toxic things in league history. Ekko falls in this category as well. They are WAY too safe for how much damage they do. Tahm, Cho, and Mundo could use slight buffs or reworks. All others are fine or even OP right now. Galio is getting deserved nerfs soon for example.

Like I said not all of them are tanks, but most of them are. I agree with Fizz and Ekko (maybe not Ryze though, since he actually scales with mana items). They are cancer and shouldn't be able to build tank.
