The items that encourage tanks to deal crazy damage.

Basically pure tanks don't exist anymore, (which I'm not necessarily against). There are so many items that encourage high health champions to gain damage as well. This is allowing for champs like "juggernauts" to easily out damage the supposed ADCs. If you are going to have items that give damage the more health you have then there needs to be items the other way too. there are fighters and there are tanks, pick one. I thought you were trying to get rid of the "bruiser" category?

Please apply proof that they were trying to get rid of the bruiser category. Otherwise it is non sense

the fact that champions are not listed as bruisers... they are tanks, fighters, supports, marksmen, assassins, and mages

Bruisers have always been an unofficial title.

They have always been labeled as fighters.

If tanks don't deal damage, they get ignored between CDs

Real tanks still don't do as much damage as fighters or carries. However, their damage is often extremely reliable.

Personally, I think of true tanks as Casters. Doesn't mean they don't do damage, but that their damage is mostly in the form of Burst. Tanks Like Sion and Maokai, who Can combo their abilities and Clear a minion wave fairly well. They don't have DPS, but a full combo can still chunk out a squishy.

Also, I find that their CC is part of their Tankyness. Lock up the enemy and they can't hurt you.
