So building full tank on a tank is trolling?

I love tanks but as of right now your dead weight if you go full tank stat items. I see a lot of tanks now a days going part bruiser just to be relevant. :(

I wouldn't call it trolling. Maybe it's not always (or even not often) the best choice. Maybe it's just a play-style choice. The metagame is in a weird place right now. For example, with the popularity of early surrender, unless I'm playing with a group of friends, it feels really awkward playing adc, since it's hard to get enough items to be relevant before the game is over. Having said that, in that late game scenario, I sure do enjoy having a tanky Amumu or Leona to pin down targets for me.

since season 5 i have played maokai as an ap bruiser going ROA, Abyssal , Liandry's ,Sunfire and Spirit Visage then they changed runes/ items so i didnt get cdr in my runes anymore and i lost magic pen/mr reduction

then i also did iceborn sunfire steraks maokai ad bruiser i have even went conqueror maokai.

i feel if i dont have some kind of damage output with how i play him and play him solely as a tank he is weak.

and now the changes to steraks not giving you bonus base ad it dont stack with sheen passive any more so his damage output on iceborn went down this was also a nerf to alot of triforce users.

typically as of now i play him more tank then bruiser unless i get a lead/winning lane.

typical build sunfire, spirit visage, mask, is core and depending on game i might go iceborn or liandry's i dont or havent built ROA in 2 seasons cuz of the faster meta. i do want to try again with cdr in flex runes but i have to find a way to get some kind of magic pen/mr reduction / or increased magic damage ( like mask passive )

i just find it so hard with all the damage , true damage to even get tanky enough to be effective unless i get a winning match up.
