So when are we nerfing tanks?

Specifically, tanks that deal too much damage, like

It's ridiculous how they can just build full tank like and roll through your whole team while taking 0 damage. They also take no skill to play, which is really frustrating. I don't understand why Riot decided to give them so much damage. Like seriously, a tank should not be able to point and click nuke me for 1000 true damage.

This is really problematic for me, because as a Riven main, a lot of these champions counter me hard. Every top matchup is a bunch of tanks , and if I don't pick one, I get steamrolled. And don't tell me to play safe because then their tank junglers come and dive me while my turret does nothing to them.

Come on, riot. This is getting out of hand. When will we see tanks get the nerfs they deserve?

Not sure if I should upvote because April's fools joke, or downvote because of how many people actually think stuff like this is true. NotLikeThis

The only one of the champions that you talked about was a tank. Mundo is a tank. The rest are juggernauts or fighters. Nor is black cleaver, maw, Steraks, and titanic full tank items. Those are bruiser items. You have a problem with juggernauts. The downsides to almost every juggernaut is that their mobility is awful, and you can kite them. The downside to fighters is that they aren't as tanky, and get focused down easily (like you Riven)

As an aside, as a Riven main you should be able to beat Darius easily. Save a Q or your dash when for when he Qs, then go into him and get hit with the handle. It only does 35% damage and doesn't give him a bleed stack, allowing you to get a favorable trade.

Tank, juggernaut, fighter, if they can tank 20 turret shots and don't get blown up in 5 seconds in a 1v5 they're a tank.
