I don't get it. Even the casters are saying this lately
"oh he picked a tank, he clearly loses the lane for the hope of being a useful tank in team fights"
Meanwhile, when tanks lose lane, the champion who beat them gets a free ride to late game scaling...
Great balance

Galio is the only popular non jungle/support tank. Top laners at the moment are mostly champions like Yasuo, Fiora, Darius, and J4. Mid lane has no other tank but Galio. Galio is strong earlier than he is later, and games don't last that long making him feel oppressive. Even in the jungle, only 4 of the 20 most picked junglers are actually built full tank.
Tanks as a whole aren't amazing, other classes are doing better, it's just 3 tanks that happen to be doing well and 2 of them are being nerfed. Which they deserve, especially Zac.
Slythion1 votesThere are very few viable "tanks", and you obviously didn't play in s5 when tanks were actually good
Ralanr2 votesMy understanding of league is that champions have two phases of power. Strong, spike, then they fall off.
GrandpaTheGreat1 votesTanks used to scale, but ever since they made Last whisperrer's upgrades have insane armor pen they've all been crammed into having a bad lategame. After they toned down the % pen tanks have a bit of a smoother power curve though its still a bit visable
Penns1 votesSo casters are saying "tanks have a bad lane and a crappy late game" when they say "he picked a tank so he loses lane for stronger team fights"? o
