Anyone know why you've got champions like Darius, Garen, Ornn, Mordekaiser all running rampant in the top lane, and now being flexed in mid/jungle? Thank you Riot, for bringing tanks back. all very fun champions to play and play against.
Darius
not a tank
Garen
not a tank
Mordekaiser
not a tank
A Tank doesn't die in 1 sec
As far as im aware, isnt the current meta ANTI tank? all the characters that you have mentioned from what I recall are juggernauts or bruisers.

Three of the four you listed aren't tanks.
It's definitely not tank meta, but it's nice to finally see a few tanks on the fringe of the rotation for once.
3 of those are juggernauts, not tanks. And Ornn has been buffed out the ass repeatedly to the point where he fulfills the role of both.
Tank metas only exist when tanks are allowed to do relevant damage in addition to being nigh-unkillable (see: old Sejuanni, Zac, Nautilus top, current Ornn, Kench; also note that, with the exception of Nautilus, all of these tanks have % max HP damage in their kit somewhere). If there IS a tank meta upon us, it will come about because of the Sunfire buffs. Tanks can't be allowed to have the best of both worlds, otherwise they start crowding out bruisers and juggernauts, and the line between classes becomes undefinable.

Assassin player tears are the purest of them all.
Anything that invalidates mongoloid Assassins is welcomed.
this is what people wanted.
are tanks
pseudo tanks are
Not even half the tanks played in top lane are in the upper half of the lane's performance, while 8 of the top 10 are bruisers.
Even the dreaded "tank meta" of season 6 had like, 2 tanks with any significant success -- and , with non-tank champions flexing into their items (and using them better than tanks) because of imbalanced scaling.
Tanks haven't been in meta for 5 years, and even if they are, who cares? Assassins have been meta for far too long, it makes the game feel refreshing when it's gets a shake up.
i wouldnt really say its a tank meta, tanks are just viable again, whilst a small handful of them overperform. Ornn, Amumu need minor nerfs. Leona needs her power budget moved around. Nautilus is just always going to be good due to his reliable nature.
Not the tank's fault you play exclusively 
lol
It's nice to see junglers that bring utility again instead of just assassins with CC that they don't need.
