you can't initiate on an adc as hell even malphite without taking nearly 800-1k damage per second from someone like jinx or tristana.

the point here is that nobody can actually soak up damage in an even fight anymore. you have to be a cpl items ahead and have snowballed to act like a normal tank should. basically. what the older seasons tanks used to be. hell even in season 5 tanks and just in general. lasting in fights used to be so much more. i remember when mundo couldn't get bursted when he ulted. now just the adc negates his healing and hell just the adc can kill a mundo or a volibear.. even with the increased healing from sv and new masteries. the increase in damage in this game just by far blows all that away. in an even fight.

you can tank assassins mages (except a few like vel koz and ahr). but tanks become useless once the adc gets armor pen. i mean even without armor pen the adc will hurt the tank more than anyone else. there isn't much defense to sustained damage in this game. logically sustained damage does more damage over a period of time. however when jinx rockets and cait headshots do as much damage as leblancs W and R combo. we've got a big problem.

Which definition of Tank are you using? The correct one, or the multitude of incorrect ones people refuse to stop using?

They are but not by much. For example. all Mundo needs is his range to be on par with Sion, Nautilus etc.
