No, I’m not talking about Rammus. I’m talking about Ornn, Nautilus, Maokai, Malhpite (Not ap, PURE TANK), etc. They get destroyed by most juggernauts/bruisers, (ex: Garen, Darius, Riven, Kled). Try to cs? Get your HP chunked by 3/4’s by a Fiora at level 1 and wasting your flash praying that your jungler will help. Go in a teamfight? You’re 3 items behind and you get dumpstered by item 3071,Armor pen items(item 3035 , item 3036 item 3033 ), Lethality items (item 3147, item 3142, etc) item 3153 , Conqueror, and more. Resistances? Nah, true damage takes care of that. Tanks are supposed to take damage and cc and engage, not to die in 5 seconds by Vayne

I’d love to not die instantly when (Insert burst champion here) farts too loud in my general direction.

My personal favorite quote from this meta.

“Zoe roams bot lane, misses every skillshot.…… adc dies anyways”

Title was supposed to be: Give tanks some power and sustain in the top lane.

Pretty sure you can re-edit it into the title.

tanks heavily outtrade garen early on (shen, ornn, nautilus, maokai), and with aftershock you can outtrade darius on some of them too.

like yea, they eventually get outscaled by juggernauts when it comes to straight 1v1 situations. but thats by design.

juggernauts are carries who have their power budget in damage and defense. tanks have their power budget in team utility and more defense, which makes them larger teamfight threats.

if tanks were still able to beat juggers in a 1v1 after a certain point then something is wrong with this game. their job isnt supposed to be split push to fight 1v1's. theyre supposed to stick with their team like supports.

Nautilus is all ready busted as a support. Malphite is usually bad with a tank build but they are buffing him next patch.

Rito cant currently buff tanks too make them viable top without them completely taking over sup and jungle. They need too revert changes that made tanks unviable top, or give tanks some actual tankyness in midgame with solo lane items. But my second suggestion would allow them too be the only meta picks in jungle(not that that is the case currently).
