I would like to last more than 3 seconds of focus fire as a full tank.

4k-5k hp 250 armor and MR. you name it it doesn't matter. you get focus fire for a cpl second and your dead. I don't really like this or feel like i have an opprtunity to initiate as a tank. thats why people play ekko and fizz. make something of these cpl seconds as a tank with mobility

LATE GAME WHERE EVERYONE HAS 6 ITEMS.

Looking at your game, it appears both the carries were fed. (Malzahar, Sivir)

Sivir had Mortal Reminder. (which essentially screws Trundle over) Malzahar had Sorcerers Boots and Liandry's Torment.

Each of these items would shred your armor, with Mortal Reminder going through % armor.

It would make sense to me if they burst you down.

To distract and cc the ADC for 3 seconds while your team hopefully follows the engage.

Compared to a Morgana binding, 3 seconds is an eternity.

Especially within a team-fight, as 3 seconds of time in a team-fight can mean a ton. If you're effectively doing tank things for 3 seconds, lasting 3 seconds isn't bad.

yeah tanks are a joke. ever since riot decided to super buff adcs and nerf MR, tanks dont last for shit. you're better off playing a squishy trying to eliminate the enemy's adc or assasin.

Tanks are not a joke. Obviously you don't understand that this is a MOBA game where a split second decision can turn an entire fight around. Tanks do their job the way the are supposed to, no tank is ever supposed to be able to tank 5 champions for any extended period of time. If any tank was capable of that they are either far ahead of the enemy team or will be getting hit with the nerf hammer for sure as soon as Riot figures out how they can prevent that. Most bruisers and even juggernauts aren't based around reaching late game, they are about mid game powerspikes where, when ahead, they become extremely difficult to bring down because the enemies don't have the items to deal with them yet. Many "Tank Items" are actually cheaper than their DPS counterpart simply because of the reason stated previously. If you feel there's something wrong then perhaps you should figure out how you can stop late game from ever happening, which could require any number of different things such as expanding your champion pool of bruisers / juggernauts, working on mechanics, or learning how to CS a little more efficiently so you can reach your power spikes faster.

I like playing tanks and even I find building full tank simply isn't optimal unless you can fully trust the dps to do their jobs. Ironically, tank items are actually the best on dps champs right now. As always damage >>>> defense.
