I don't understand the point of a tank other than cc anymore....

It used to be that you could take a few hits just by standing infront of your team. If the enemy team over commit on you your team got a free ace. Now I feel like I either have the team cc'd or I'm almost dead.

Every once in awhile I feel like a real tank, but only when I go against another tank with lower damage, but even other tanks are over loaded with damage. Look at the %hp damage singed flip, sedj passive, mao snare, and the list goes on. I feel like tanks are better suited for taking out other tanks than they are for trying to even get to/kill a squishy or block damage for the team.

Please let tanks that aren't cc bots exist in the new season.

Tanks should not be "taking out squishies". That's the job of an assassin. Tanks should be making it easier for assassins to kill squishies by blocking them and locking them down with cc, not dealing a shit ton of damage on their own. The primary job of a tank is to absorb damage so the squishies don't have to. They also provide tactical support in the form of crowd control, peel, or engage.

If you want "tanks that aren't cc bots", what you're really asking for are more juggernauts like Sion, Illaoi, Urgot, etc.

Sion’s not a juggernaut.

Rito begs to differ.

Sion is a CC bot.

Nautilus used to be a good threat, but Rito hates Nautilus so they nerfed him into nonexistence.

Atleast he still has CC, think of poor mundo.

Whats the point of a tank without CC? CC is always going to be a crucial component for a tank because theyre completely useless without it
