Because tanks can't carry games. Even if you do well in lane, if your carries don't all your health and armor won't mean sh*t. If tanks actually got rewarded for winning lane, maybe more people would play them. But now the only time people ever want to play tanks is if they're broken (Sejuani, Cho'gath, etc).

Kitsunes Lust1 votesTanks arent really meant to carry, but instead provide heavy cc and a very strong frontline so the backline/carries can wipe everyone out, hence why sejuani and jarvain often are in pro. They provide heavy cc and provide an excellent front line.
LordGeovanni1 votesAdcs arent meant to carry either that is a commnity term adcs are supposed to provide stable ranged damage during drawn out fights but they crit everything in range and poke things that are out of range with low cooldown high range and high damage spells.
TruelyTrueTrueth1 votesno roles are meant to carry
the only time a role carrying the team is when the team is trash and that one particular player is better than the rest and wins the game for them
Durzaka1 votesSpeak for yourself. I really enjoy playing most tanks (with the except of Naut and Sion, fuck those guys).
The problem isnt tanks cant carry, its that ADCs carry TOO hard in comparison.
A 5-0-2 tank is threatening.
A 5-0-2 ADC is horrifying.
That said, I still think tanks are incredibly fun to play.
