I feel like tanks aren't given enough credit

I've yet to have that feeling as or or where an ADC with Last Whisper makes me feel totally useless omg rito pl0x

I get that Whisper and to a lesser degree Void Staff are a bit overbearing for the cost they have but unless it's the rare game where an enemy carry gets fed before I'm able to afford my items, I find myself being marginally more useful than them for a lot of the game (especially if I'M doing well.) The amount they bring to a teamfight is not to be messed with either; Sejuani has absurd damage for someone who only needs an Abyssal's for it, Nautilus becomes nigh inescapable late game with a good chunk of CDR provided he's got enough mana, and Sion is Sion and can fuck your entire team up. I could even argue that not picking a tank is a detriment to most team comps; as I feel I contribute much more than a selfish pick like Vi can.

Really, the biggest issue is that they've almost entirely been shoved into either jungle or support, and a lot of the top lane tanks aren't in the best spot they could be in (or deserve to be in). With some exceptions like and who can still go into the jungle regardless(and the latter's a deceptively powerful mid lane), I think more should be done to promote them being used in lane but aside from that... Not much else except for some minor kit changes to bump the other tanks up to the current strength that Sejuani and Sion possess right now.

Is it just me? As a Sejuani main, I can't help but feel a little miffed when someone says tanks are useless. I think it's time that tanks got the praise they deserve.
