Why do people complain about tanks?

In my experience i never seen a problem with tanks in particuliar, i believe they fulfill the role they are designed to accomplish, yet many people hate on them and believe they should be nerfed.

Tanks NEED to be all around stronger than other classes. They usualy lack mobility while also being melee, so they require to be tanky to survive being focused a few seconds while also providing either damage or CC. They NEED to be tanky AND have damage(like juggernauts) or CC. If they aren't tanky enough they'll get melt before doing anything, and if they don't have enough damage or CC, players can just ignore them in teamfights (Just like people used to ignore old Garen in teamfights since he used to deal close to no damage)

Nerf any aspect of their kit and they'll become irrelevant and unable to do their designed job.

Tanks are one of the pillar of the team, almost mandatory, yet they can't function properly without the help of their teammates.

The answer is simple. It is not complaning about tanks. Its complaning about FEW tanks like Poppy, Malphite, Maokai, Nautilus. They are naturally tanky + going little bit AP/AD do way too much dmg. The game is one big mess anyway. Lethality to win. True dmg every champion.

What if: They should have bonus damage to minions, but reduced base damage through nerfs. This won't hurt wave clearing in lane/jungle, but reduce damage dealt to champions.

Just an idea I got from you comment, but I don't know anything about balance, just throwing it out there.

tanks have no mobility? sorry but what? a lot of tanks have more than enough mobility and a tank while also needs to be able to do some damage they also cannot be able to blow up squishies on their own while also being almost unkillable. Tanks by default bring a lot of CC, if they do not have CC then that means they are not a tank and are actually a juggernaut of some sort

Many tanks do not lack mobility.

Alistar Amumu Gragas JarvanIV Maokai Nautilus Rammus Sejuani Poppy Zac do not lack mobility.

If they're providing damage, they aren't tanks. They're juggernauts. Those are also commonly the ones without mobility.

The problem is that certain tanks are doing too much damage that they aren't tanking up damage and locking down the enemy so their carries can kill them, it's that they're taking nearly no damage and locking down the enemy while they kill them.

Also Nautilus's shield lasts way too long for such a strong ability.
