True Tanks trade damage for CC, doesn't seem worth?

True tanks were some of the most cancerous champions a while ago (cinderhulk meta).

Premades didn't exist back then.

I do kinda miss the early game kill pressure Leona used to have, but that late game is hilarious with Q spam and max cdr. Just traded one good thing for a different good thing.

Tanks: Tanky people that have good cc and some form of decent aoe. They can carry... unless they're teammates are purely retarded.

Bruisers: 1v1 gods,very tanky, high dps. (Some of them have burst; aatrox)

good as long as your teammates are awake and know how to play the game

Maokai can basically stun a champion without tenacity until anyone in the team finishes them off. Imo champs like maokai actually force your team to play more co ordinated since they'll always been looking for you to stunlock the carries

I have played Maokai in solo queue and stomped. While it is easier to win in solo queue with bruisers like Gnar, Garen, Darius and those of champs, it isn't that hard to win with a true tank if you have a team that knows how to play with it.
