Malphite has armor scalings on his e and w, which let him have a decent clear and do alright damage. Amumu has %damage and good ap scalings, so he can build rylai's and/or liandry's for good effect and go tanky the rest of the way. Cho is just hilarious in general building pure tank with his e and r. Sion is also pretty decent at damage with small amounts of ad. If you're good at microing, Udyr is good at tanking and dealing damage. Warwick is a beast these days. Rammus is ok.

Volibear and Zac are the last 2 tanks I'd consider in the jungle, but imo, they require more from your team than you.

Tanks are not in a good spot right now. They can be blown up to fast for them to be picked over champs that can burst a enemy down in secs. Plus if you choose to tank you have to hope and pray the group reacts fast enough to help other wise you just engaged for nothing.

Malphite can build Triforce or build AP, Maokai can build AP, Poppy can get away with building either Triforce or Black Cleaver, Amumu can build some AP etc.

Tahm Kench bot/top lane. Garen, Darius, Ornn, Maokai top. Careful picking Maokai into a conqueror champion tho. Trundle Jungle.(Kind of a niche pick that you only want to pick if the enemy team has a pure tank) Udyr, Rammus, and WW jungle.

You want bruisers. Renekton Garen Volibear Gragas Gnar Hecarim Kled Yorick Warwick to name a few.

As far as a full on tank? Rammus imo As far as a Juggernaut who is kind of tanky and does some damage? Darius or Trundle.

I guess I will surprise you, when I say Volibear. Many say "uhhh who plays Voli in 2018?" but these people have no clue. He is a sleeper. Way better than most people think. And that is a good thing, cause no one will pick or ban him. Perfect for otp him. I know he is not a tank per definition, he is a Juggernaut. But he can tank pretty good and he does a FUCKTON of dmg. There are almost no champs who can 1on1 you in mid game (tanky autohit champs like Jax or Fiora are his weakness). You can pretty much "oneshot" squishys. I think he is the best champ in terms of combining tankrole + DMG. He has a straight forward kit but it's fun to play imho. I fucking love it. He is perfect for teaminvade at start (just flip someone -> first blood). He can gank with lvl 2 (Q+E). If you invade and enemy support or ADC flashes away, go gank him right after Buff. You have to be a bit carefull in the early game but when he has his first 1-2 Items he is a monster.

Start with Q if you invade, start with E at red or blue. Route 1: Blue, Wolfes, crab (red side), red, gank Route 2: Red, Wolfe's, crab (blue side), blue, gank. Or Red, Blue, Crab, etc. Alternate option: just kill the 2 little Wolfe's on those routes and you will be lvl 3 after second buff at 2:50.

Try to gank often since you are better at ganking than farming

Build: Start with Stalkers Blade. I suggest DMP or Righteous Glory after Cinderhulk. Continue with tanky stuff you don't need DMG items.

Runes: Resolve (2/3/1/3) Precision (2/1/-)

Tanks that can build damage?

Amumu Chogath Galio Gragas Malphite Poppy

Some people also consider Singed a tank. I don't, but some do and he would fit here if you consider him a tank.

Darius top with summoner 4 summoner 6 build 2 damage items 3 tank and boots, a decent build im thinking is

Darius item 3078 item 3065 item 3053 item 3009 item 3143 item 3026 oritem 3193 and be a noob lord sir.

It's funny how nobody mentioned Sion

The king of noob crushers

item 3009 item 3142 item 3071 item 3022 item 3083 item 3193

Oh and be a good lad and grab inspiration secondary for the +10 movement on boots and approach velocity so you can run 15% faster if you slow people

For primary runes i would suggest preciSion with conqueror and presence of mind, that way you can penetrate these worms harder and ult more often so you can build a bigger pile of corpses

The fun part of the build is that you can play hyper aggressive as there is no point in killing you since that would be suicide for the enemy
