I used to take full scaling armor and MR runes...

I wish we could lower damage, or give the tank tree back some real defensive options. The scaling runes would give me 46 armor and 43 MR without even touching bonuses from masteries in the old system. Sure laning was a bitch but atleast I could have a late game fantasy that wasn't blowing up the enemy team in one hit.

Please either lower damage, or give back tankiness to champs that should live longer. You can even follow up letting them live longer by a damage nerf. Tanks don't need to die quickly, and they don't need to kill quickly.

The tank tree imo is really good, for tanks.

Fighters themselves have some issues.

I disagree. New rune system makes tanks rely hard on items. You can choose to get some bonus armor or bonus MR at start or have neither at start but get a bit of both at 10 minutes. That really sucks compared to old runes.

Maybe, I have yet to see off tank builds dominate on none tank champions though so I find that a plus.

If off-tank champs aren't taking tank runes at all is that because they have legitimately good options in another tree, or is that because tank runes do suck compared to old system and tanks just don't have good options and are just stuck?

Possibly the former as tanks are generally fine outside of a few too strong.

The issue that I see with off tank builds/tank builds/damage builds is that some champions are designed to dip into both DPS and tank stats. Those guys the fighters/juggernaut type classes (to me) feel the worst right now. Thats why we saw a lot of champions get buffs. I really think there needs to be a defensive option for these guys, and grasp just isn't hitting the mark.

Honestly I don't see much of a defense buff in the tank tree at all. You have conditioning and what overgrowth? Lets keep in mind grasp is mostly for damage, and the hp is negligible. It just doesn't feel like I have much for choices when if I want damage I have 3 trees, and then there is the utility tree that feels hit or miss depending on each champ.

Revitalize is actually really good and aftershock is a great boost to resistances. Plus demolish helps push towers faster for durable champions. Which looks great for juggernauts.
