And no, I'm not talking about champions like poppy. I mean champions that literally deal 0 damage, but are practically unkillable. I'm talking 300hp/second regen, 300 armor and mr, and 6k hp, but they do literally 0 damage. Someone that can actually survive a 2v1 gank and walk away. This game being blanced around nuke or get nuked just makes for boring gameplay. Sure it feels great to nuke someone, but it also feels shitty to get nuked by all of the other champions too.
ph1234k5 votesExactly!!
We have all these fake tanks or Rito versions of tanks but they deal pretty massive damage. A tank should be able to TANK and have a kit that is annoying enough to force aggro or maybe just give em a taunt like shen so that he could genuinely force aggro.
EDIT: Actually, I don't think players would enjoy a real tank. Look how crazy people get when they get filled support and think that is already boring even though it is one f the most engaging roles and is focused on macro play.

this shitty item exists thats why. ignoring 45% armor? litterally negating like 10k gold from armor items on tanks for 2700. If tanks didnt do the dmg they do rightnow they would be unplayable unless they had the cc of nautilous. i hate tanks but ik what they go through we how stupidly overpowered adc's are. AND NO ADCS ARENT WEAK THEY JUST GET FUCKED BY THE META because their lane MUST be camped this is the meta camp bot or hope mid/top goes 8-0. Remove 1st blood tower gold you'll see how bot becomes an afk farm fest for 20mins again in 1 week.
ph1234k2 votesPretty sure that is 35% bt.
ADCs are not overall weak nor are they overpowered. Their weakness is their early game and they are strong after getting fed, mostly into the late game.
Remember they made many of these changes to make games go quicker which does affect late game carries but it really depends. On those games I get filled support (only 2 so far this season) I have gotten decent ADCs and since I used to main ADC supporting them i the early game is a piece o cake. I won both of those games and was able to feed up my ADC pretty early. I am bronze though so junglers aren't the best at applying pressure to me yet.
Handy Sandy 4 votesIkr, I'd like a champion that has pretty bad base damage and extremely low scailings but has a decent amount of cc with like..I don't know...an ult that restores a certain % of their health or reduces all incoming damage by a %? Yea, they might have trouble in laning. Why not give em just enough damage to oneshot the casters? Trading? Well they have cc to protect themselves and have so much health that they're almost unkillable.
Actual tanks like 
can NEVER 1v5 and survive 5 seconds like a 6k hp one can.
(Idk if Leona even is a tank, she's famous for locking people down for like 5 seconds and a tank's primary threat is cc isn't it ;-;)
**Tank mains: ** YOU'RE WRONG, LEONA'S A BRUISER WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU!
Ralanr1 votesLeona is not a bruiser, wtf?
AcidTheWarlock1 votesShen hurts. There's a build on Mobafire that I use and there's a section on situational damage items. Makes your combat presence increase a lot actually.
JackMcSnipeyz4 votesBecause that would be boring stupid and annoying. If he deals 0 damage, who cares if he cant be killed, he DEALS 0 DAMAGE!
"Make him deal CC then!" - great idea, except he cant be killed, so now you have a ukillable tank that is just a CC bot.
What you want works maybe in MMORPG games where you play vs AI, not when you fight actual people.
Edit: i'd like to bring to attention some good tank designs (IMO)
-Rammus : has good stickiness, not much damage, but cant be ignored AND has tools to pick his targets (taunt AA reliant champs), has a clear Anti AD niche -Maoki : has a good teamfighting presance, can peel for his team and also provide some CC -Sejuani : Good engage tank, doesnt deal a lot of damage but is a constant threat due to her (low) DPS.
Ralanr3 votesMy only problem with Maokai is that his %max health damage is unavoidable.
I think Sion is the best tank to be honest.
JackMcSnipeyz1 votesI loovvees sion, i just play him more as a juggernaut i classify him with champs like darius and illaoi, slow and telegraphed, but deadly.
Ralanr1 votesI prefer full tank but won't bash the juggernaut build.
Random Task4 votesWait how is literally just standing there, more exciting then nuke or getting nuked?
Ralanr1 votesMundo finds it euphoric apparently. So do the towers.
Ralanr3 votesBecause doing zero damage means they can't solo lane worth crap or jungle. They wouldn't be in a 2v1 gank in the first place because they wouldn't actually be able to farm for a solo lane.
Though let's say they can farm, you know what you get? A guy who is just going to last hit under their tower and is incredibly reliant on their jungler to win lane. Considering how top lane is an island, they basically allow their opponent to farm lane forever.
It's not fun to automatically be forced under your tower without even having a chance to beat your opponent. It's not fun to fight a sandbag anyway.
Tanks need to actually have a chance to win lane. Otherwise they all might as well be played support and I will be damned if I am stuck saddled to a fucking kid with a peashooter that won't even let me get a fucking Cannon minion with my support item.
ReZisT Lust1 voteslol no imma freeze my lane next to my tower to deny farm*[slayer-pantheon-popcorn]*
Ralanr1 votesAnd then your opponent decides to reset the lane and then freeze it out in the open.
ReZisT Lust1 voteshow would he break the freeze?
Ralanr1 votesCan't stay in lane forever.
ReZisT Lust1 votesneither can he and when they return so does the freeze
Ralanr1 votesExcept they have more threat and can freeze it better. Plus this is if the tank even has the damage to farm and freeze. Since the OP wants a tank that does 0 damage, that's unlikely.
oSEXYPLATYPUSo2 votesi play tanks all the time...
i just tanked as leona carried the game went 7-8-26
and typically my maokai is a sight to see
trundle is so tanky cant kill him lol
Mecha MaIphite2 votesHonestly, that sounds really boring.
They'd have to have minimal damage and a limited amount of utility to be "balanced", but then they wouldn't feel very impactful. You'd just kind of wade around to try and be relevant in fights, while the enemy just tries to ignore you and fight the rest of your team.

Someone didn't play in S2 when mundo never dying was a thing. I hardly ever killed anyone, but once I lead people on a 5 minute chase through the map. It was a lot of fun.
JackMcSnipeyz2 votesSure you had fun, mundo in his prime was busted annoying and nightmare to play against. Sure you had fun chasing people for 5 minutes... But maybe.. Being constantly chases by an unkillable champ that constantly slows you... Isnt so fun, you know?

TyrekGoldenspear2 votesThere is a simple reason why this wouldn't work.
Take this tank of yours and have it draw tower aggro.
Now the enemy has no tower and can be dived at leisure.

That is the point of a tank... as far as it stands the enemy would be able to do the same thing... You could also make turrets do more damage and punish squishy players that fuck up while trying to poke outside of tower range if you didn't want tower dives.
doublelift fg1 votesin late game you should protect towers, not the opposite
Surr20plz1 votesIf given what OP is asking for it would then be mandatory to have 3 of those on your team.
khorney1 votestaric deals pretty much 0 damage. only damage move he has is his stun
ReZisT Lust1 votespassive
AcidTheWarlock1 votesHis passive means that he can deal pretty good damage.
khorney1 votesthat doesnt count. thats a aa
ReZisT Lust1 votesfueled by spells

No more difficult that this nuke or get nuked crap.
Ralanr1 votesActually there's another reason why we can't have that.
We already do and doing it again would make all tanks basically the same. His name is full tank Alistar.

300hp/second... yea, no... and he only does it for the duration of his ultimate.
Ralanr1 votesI mean basically being the tank who doesn't hurt and doesn't die.
Go play Alistar top.
Cowseed1 votesFor the people saying that it wouldn't be a fun champ the concept is for people who want to play such a tank. As long as they don't feel too slow I'm ok with dealing -minimal- damage and being unkillable. Something I would rather Riot turn 
into because that's my favorite way to play my main but I guess you can't have everything in life
MunchCrunchLunch1 votesa tank that survives 10 seconds of focus fire sure will be nice. even poppy will get killed in ~4seconds if focused in a team fight
doublelift fg1 votes
used to be like this
truly unkillable, his only purpose was nuking attack speed and bringing his ulti
then they buffed his damage xd, then nerfed his attack speed slow and then he's just a generic bruiser
Noblewind1 votesBecause when tanks get too massive, they create unhealthy gameplay in a number of ways:
On a basic level, it is the exact opposite problem of old assassins having too much instant dive burst with little counterplay. You don't have to have an overloaded kit or deal damage to be unhealthy. Being unkillable is also a broken mechanic and offers very limited counterplay and gameplay that isn't fun. Maybe tanks need a buff, but no one wants to be in a game and feel "I can't do anything".
In other words, having relatively strong safety/freedom to walk into the enemy team while disabling and disrupting with CC (now here's the important part:) WHILE your 4 other teammates deal damage is not a healthy thing. You are OP just due to the fact that the enemy team has to spend so many resources worrying JUST about you, and it's a 5v5 game.
It also turns into every team basically requiring a tank lest they be dominated by one, and makes them overly reliable and relevant in most games because not every class is built to kill tanks. Being too tanky also creates the side effect of stalling out games, i.e. a fight is already lost, but during the 10+ seconds it takes for their 2 survivors to kill you, everyone who died is closer to respawning, objectives can't be taken, etc. etc.
Lovelle1 votesTanks need at least some damage or there's no reason to focus them. It's not like in MMOs, where tanks have abilities that generate hate. In MOBAs, opponents will just focus more threatening targets over you.
For example, in FFXIV, the tanks that deal the most damage tend to be most viable picks. Paladin is pretty much the unkillable tank, but it regularly gets outclassed by Warrior and Dark Knight, simply because (although they are less tanky) they bring damage, meaning faster clears. A tank with no damage is 100% reliant on the DPS playing their jobs near perfectly, which generally doesn't happen in an average scenario.
Quepha1 votesBecause they serve no purpose.
"Here's a champion that does no damage but also can't be killed."
"OK, I'll just walk around him and push in his tower."
"B-but he's supposed to pull aggro from you so he can show off how tanky he is!"
"I'm not Illidan or Onyxia or whoever the boss of WoW is in the new expansion, I'm not going to stupidly attack a brick wall for an hour and a half when there are actual high priority targets wandering around."
