Play 10 games on top as a tank just do it not a brusier tho,just tanks or jugrenauts Urgot included see how "op" tanks are and come back here and tell me of your experience. Maybe after you get stuck with Fiora orIrelia or Viktor or whatever is played there nowdays and you can do nothing but get skull f*cked for 15-20 minutes straight beacouse junglers give 0 shits about top unless there is nothing else to gang or camps to clear.

EDIT:Please try my challenge just so we can can see if tanks are truly op spread this as much as possible so we get some real data on this and end the debate about tanks being op. Also please comment your rank so we can get a ideea in witch elo's tanks are broken and in witch they are shit and leave a description of your experience.

EDIT 2:250 views and still no one saying if they will take the challenge and prove me wrong about tanks being underpowered in solo q,if tanks are op what are you afraid of?

EDIT 3:It seems people are confused as to wat is a true tank,a true tanks builds full defensive items and for the people that value they'r sanity or have expensive gear there are some easy mode picks for this challenge littered araound the thread if you dont feel like looking for them here they are Darius only item 3078 oritem 3071 allowed as offensive item,Garen same as before,DrMundo,Nautilus,Nasus only item 3078 as offensive solution,Singed onlyitem 3116 and item 3151 allowed as singed without those is not singed,. The rest is clear build only defensive or from the allowed items if you go for a exeption pick(aka easy mode). Only wat shows up under role:tank is permited besides the exeptions and play only top.

EDIT4:almost 500 views sill no takers,again if tanks=op why wont you play them?

tanks arent really supposed to be able to win 1v1 against bruisers.

otherwise there would be no point in bruisers even existing, since tanks would have better team utility and teamfighting and equal or better 1v1 at the same time.

basically you have shit like Ornn close to his release or Chogath still right now.

duelling is literally the only identity bruisers have.

sorry, but youre going to have to suck up playing defensive and not be able to fight skirmishers or juggernauts during the lane phase in exchange for reliability (your abilities will always be useful even when youre far behind in gold), and high team utility value.

you kindof have a point, that tanks are trash in solo que, because theyre balanced around organized play and teams being able to coordinate themselves to their engages. this feels like a bit of a systematic issue that could be fixed by giving solo que teams better ways to coordinate themselves. voice chat for example.

but yea, generally speaking tanks arent meant to win direct fights vs. duellists.

Tanks are not OP. Tanks are still strong. You put up 3 tank counters to explain why tanks are not strong, and that is unfair. Almost all classes are countered by certain things, so their will always be ways to counter something.

Darius Sion Aatrox Poppy

Don't allow juggernauts and you have an actual case. Poppy does well by being a W-bot against Riven Irelia and Fiora, and Sion is the only tank that's ever allowed to actually flourish because of favoritism.

I play Poppy all the time. I have like an 11% W/R on her in the past couple months. She does not need buffs. She's fine.

Slap this guys face someone, lmao.

Because it's fucking boring to play tanks. And because almost no one want to, they're overbuffed as fuck.

You should include a list of who counts as a tank so there isn't any funny business.
