Juggernauts/tanks are to strong

Currently tanks as well as juggernauts very very strong. Im mostly referring to ad tanks/juggernauts primarily. They are far to strong and do slightly more damage than I would enjoy. The line between Tanks and Juggernaut is starting to get harder to define ((i am meaning when you have to play then or against them, not what riot say's they are)) No mostly i am going to talk about Gnar, Irelia, Illaoi, Trundle, Renekton and Darius, and Hecarim. There are more but lets focus on these ones. All of them have primarily ad sailings and some are rather high. They all scail incredibly well with general tank items and Even more so with Ad Hp items, Clever, Steraks are just 2 i will list.

Now here is what i think is wrong with that. All of these champs are amazing by them selves. They are strong and have a decent amount of sustain with there recomended build. How ever, the damage that they could put out by them selves as well as the amount of sustain or defense that they have, it is a little overwhelming. Juggernauts and tanks are made to protect ap carry's or an adc carry. But more often than not ((or at least in my games)) its the Juggernauts and tanks that will be the ONLY problem my team and i will have to worry about. We can decide to focus the carries but the juggernauts themselves will often become a carry if we do that. We can focus the juggernauts but more often than not there is more than 1 on a team and we will get face rolled.

I don't like how much damage they do and i think that the ad ''juggernaut'' items that are out there ((Clever, Steraks, Titanic)) need a slight backwards scaling on there damage. It is rather annoying when you have a Hecarim with Warrior and yhamus and all tank items after that and have well over 200 ad, and face roll you because he has more damage and resistance.But he is not the only one, Trundle does this INCREDIBLY well. Gnar even more so with his poke and then his fighting potential. Even more so the Dunk master Himself is incredibly strong, to much so. I think juggernauts in general need looked at again and scaled down. 


    So generally speaking i think that Juggernaut's are teetering into the ''Tank'' class with there high resistance/sustain as but do to the fact that there damage is SOOO high its hard to do anything at all against them. One of these Juggernauts can come in on a team fight and chunk an entire team solo and even take on 1v3 with ease. Tanks in general are okay and i have no problem with them. Its the ad scaling tanks as well as ''Juggernauts'' that i have personally a problem with in most of my games.

Gnar= Bruiser Irelia= Bruiser Trundle= Bruiser Renekton= Bruiser Hecarim = Guess what? Bruifknser

Only Darius is juggernaut. And he is supposed to be strong, but immobile. There are no tanks on that list.

no idea what you're talking about, tanks are extremely weak.

So you're going to have to retitle your post about how you think "bruisers" are too strong. But then somebody will tell you they're not bruisers. They're "divers". So do yourself a favor and just call them fighters.

I don't know why people feel the need to split hairs. Most of these champs build tanky. Is it really so wrong to call them a tank when they build tanky? Riot says no but obviously all of these people know better than Riot.

Darius and Illaoi are overpowered, but who else in the juggernaut line is?

Nasus Mordekaiser Skarner Garen could all stand to get a couple of buffs even.

True tanks are Shen, Rammus, Nautilus, Maokai, Malphite, Sejuani, Zac. They are all in weak spot right now.
