what is a tank?

Basically me complaining from all my salty games on the rift

Every now and again I like to que up with some friends and we like to dick around and lose, simply because it's fun. But when I try to get wins, we find it nearly impossible unless 3 of us pick this weird thing called a juggernaut, which everyone is referring to as a tank.

I'm talking of course of champions like Darius, Fiora, Renekton. Champions who deal very high damage while proving to be neigh unstopable, but can be killed with crazy cc and LCS outplay tactics. But require very little skill to actually become that dreadnaught of pain.

Anytime there is a fiora top we actually leave top...we don't bother fighting her and giving her free gold off a kill that we don't know how to prevent. Some of you are already just writing down about how I don't know what I'm talking about, or it's very simple to fighting them never give up, etc. But no, you need to just wait a few minutes because, fighting fiora nobody has fun, she does because she feels like a god for being able to press a button that is not a skill shot, deal damage straight through your armor, not only block or absorb but reflect your stun and burst back at you.An ult that allows her to deal more true damage....that's just dirty.

Darius....Illaoi's champion spotlight made me want him more than her >.>

A tank would be someone like shen, who is actually becoming more of a bruiser/juggernaut. Their whole point is to have a lot of life 1 decent damaging attack high utility and some form of cc to aid your team in more strategic play. Instead they're just champions you pick have twice as much health while still dealing the same if not more damage than enemy adc and mid laner combined. It's not really the champion although their kits make it more ubnoxious >.> it's these items. Sunfire, deadman's, blackcleaver. Idk what this titanic hydra is but apparently this didn't exist too long ago and it just sounds ridiculous. All these items give hp/ad and some form of utility. deadmans give movespeed and a powered up auto from said speed "hecarim 101" black cleaver has armor pen built into it sunfire is just annoying as all hell >.>

Good tank items are thornmail 1 flat stat with a very useful effect, reflecting 30% of their damage back at them which is good against an adc, only I never really see it bought anymore, but if it had hp on it, every game it would be bought.

tldr; certain items shouldn't have the stats they have and even be available for specific champs.
