I still enjoy the game even if it's all about damage but, there was a time where you could actually tank a whole team, I think it was Season 2 or something I played WW tank a lot and could literally throw myself into enemy team! Now it's all about damage, you have 300 armor and 4000 hp but die in 0.27 seconds -.-
Remember when Sion, Warwick, Maokai etc could soak damage like crazy? Those were the fun times.

This. Tanks should be more tanky but they also should feel less threatening and murder people with base damages helped with grasp, sunfire & IBG

Those arn't tanks, those are Bruisers who build tank items, and do the tank's job better.
The problem with Tanks and damage is, they need some base level of damage to deal with minions. Otherwise, they will get out farmed, out pushed, and bullied out of lane. (Similar problem with Jungle tanks, they didn't become good until Cinderhulk)
But right now, Bruisers are building the defensive items up front giving them excellent dueling ability, While abusing the wave clear those tank items provide. Yet, caster tanks, who rely on their spells for wave clear, are left in the dust, as they left Frozen heart rather inefficient, compared to ICB.

I disagree on the people you call bruisers.
People taking IBG/sunfire that are dominating are 
, CC - based champions.
True bruisers are people like 
and they don't benefit much of this itemization.
MLDzXnRRR3 votesMasteries have too much damage. Also you can get now 100 % crit.
Sasogwa2 votesThe thing is they gave damage to tanks for no reason because muh damage everywhere and now we have no true tanks anymore.
venomous frost2 votesthat's just because everyone was garbage at the game in s2 and nobody had optimal builds/optimal income to spend on items.
Crett2 votesI really don't like how saturated with damage the game has become, so I agree
The Bearded Bard1 votesYeah but like the thing is, if you're getting melted that fast, the enemy team is fed. Tanks always think that just because they build tank they'll be invulnerable to fed enemies. That's not how it works. Just because you buy a frozen heart first item doesn't mean you should be able to completely negate that 6/1 adc.
