Why do a lot of people think tanks are broken?

Yet every single high elo solo q game is dominated almost exclusively by damage champions?

If they were truely as broken as most seem to think, wouldn't people be spamming 3x tank teams in solo q?

Just curious.

The people who whine about tanks dont understand that tank =/= bruiser, and bruiser =/= fighter.

LeeSin Diana are fighters. These champions have an emphasis on offense and resistances with often situational mobility. Renekton Gragas are bruisers. These champions have high base damage, high scaling, mobility, and an emphasis on offense and HP. Darius Urgot are juggernauts. These champions are like immobile bruisers. Leona Braum are tanks. These champions have an emphasis on HP and resistances.

But while they dont understand, riot doesnt help the situation. "Tank" is a non-specific, general term for anyone with 120/90 resistances and over 3000 health. Tank itemization and bruiser itemization NEED to be seperated. item 3052 items need their giants belt component removed, and their HP capped at 250. item 3071 also needs its HP reduced. Tank champions need their base HP increased by 500. And finally tank items need an HP threshhold so non-tanks need to buy at least 4 tank items before becoming as beefy as a real tank.

Because people believe that tanks are just meat-shields, here to take damage, but don't realize it's not a PVE game and a tank being ahead should be allowed to deal damage. Most of the time it's by adc mains who refuse to position well and right-click thing all around them, dealing 1k8 crit, and when they're being cc'd for 3 sec, they cry that tanks are broken

Tanks suck right now because they can’t get items because they can’t survive lane or farm because conqueror exists

If they get items , they’re useful
