Has anyone noticed tanks are broken???

So ive played league for a long time and ive spent countless time deciding what to build and what runes to use to best give damage as well as sustain my hp. However ive noticed that tanks DONT HAVE TO BUILD DAMAGE. what I mean by this is that a tank champion can build full tank items and still come out doing more damage than the adc who has nothing but damage items. Seemingly this doesn't seem to be an issue for anyone and most would just start playing tanks. however this difference in the game is completely unfair to other players and honestly ruins a large concept of the game... for example, An adc builds damage items, because of this he is squishy and very easy to kill. Having to sacrifice hp and survival capability for damage. However for a tank their is NOTHING being given up. Build tank items and you deal massive damage while continuously gaining more hp and being a ridiculous pain to kill.. As league is very fun I don't feel like giving it up. but when all the items you normally have to work for to get damage aren't required for a tank to one shot you.. it doesn't even seem like a game, more like a one sided slaughter where you cant kill the opposing team even tho the damage indicates you deal 500 more damage than them and they don't loose a sliver of hp while they are one shoting your entire team.

Barely any toplaners play tanks nowadays, most have moved to the jungle

What tank is capable of oneshotting aside from a full stack Chogath with Stoneplate?

That aside, statistically speaking most tanks that aren't Tahm Kench are either perfectly balanced as they are (like Maokai is now), or are slightly underperforming (like Malphite).

People are gonna downvote you into oblivion (and also me) for mentioning tanks when you should have called them 'fighters', 'juggernauts' or 'bruisers'. Bullshit roles that they had to come up so people could have the damage from dps and tankiness from the real true tanks (cc machines like Alistar or Leona), because top lane is a shitshow "duelist" lane and no one likes long boring fights so they throw high base dmg and HP % and true damage so they can lane and fight 1v1. These roles will never be called tanks despite them building only 1 damage item (Triforce or Black Cleaver) and 5 tank items, or just straight into full tank items like Mundo, Tahm or Voli, because they have high base damage skills based on target's HP %, while going 1v5 or frontlining for the team tanking everything. People will also tell you to "kite them" while they cc you, slow you to oblivion and outrun you, and then they wonder why people pick ranged champions to bully them in Top. If you play ARAM, you can see the problem faster because they build items faster and tanks win teamfights.
