WHY CANT TANKS JUST BE TANKS?

im so sick and tired of "fighers" "bruisers" being able to be as tanky , heal as much and still do shit tons of damage while tanks cant do the same amount of damage but are being out classed in terms of durability.

i know for the most part being a tank main is looked down upon. but its what i enjoy outside of support.

and i know in seasons pass tanks were broken. but in my last game i played vs an AATROX as Maokai. we start lane with same HP and armor/mr while he having more damage.

yea of course he had conqueror but it wasnt the true damage i was worried about it was just the fact that end of game stats aatrox 31293 damage to champs 20,061 damage healed 40,954 damage taken 43019 self mitigated damage maokai 18570 damage to champs 10106 damage healed 42292 damage taken 48,974 self mitigated damage

i expect and have no issue with being out damaged at all but he doubled my healing and tanked as much as i did while building item 3071 item 3812 item 3053 item 3026 item 3047 item 3140

majority of fighters don't tank half as well as a real tank and rely on not being bursted before their sustain comes on

more importantly I as a bruiser player have a fraction of your utility and in a lot of cases a much shorter threat range where someone actually needs to worry about me being near them

I play Rammus with item 1419 or item 1416 and it makes him able to duel just about any fighter.

Bruisers are what Tanks should be

A Tank after all is a fast moving assault vehicle with heavy armored plating, very vulnerable to specific types of weapons, near impervious to others, and pack a punch that can decimate the opposition in very few shots.
