Even in the midgame tanks don't feel tanky anymore.
Before the tank update, even if they get slightly behind in laning phase which is expected they can still be durable frontliners. Now that adc items are cheaper and give more dmg, tanks can get shredded even in the midgame, which is supposedly their strongest phase. The tank update didn't fix their late game issue of them getting bursted by crits so that they can only get 1 rotation off in a teamfight. Yet we are wondering why carry top laners and junglers are more popular than ever.
