Help me understand this...

I believe the reason why most tanks build damage with some minor defensive items now these days is because it's pointless to build completely defensive items due to how much damage there is in this game, and conquer giving access to true damage to everyone hasn't helped either.

This one game I played support with 250+ Armor and Magic Resistance with around 3K+ health. I lost all of my health in a matter of seconds during a teamfight due to Conqueror. Then when I made a post on boards not a long time ago, many people told me to just build health and damage on her because building completely defensively on tanks is pointless.

Is this true?

Also my build: If it is then it explains the recent AP or even AD playstyles I been seeing a lot of recently.

Even who used to build tank, who now builds AP items like:

Singed always built item 3151 and item 3116 , it synergizes extremely well with his poison trail and he can use some damage in his kit, since his utility is not really high enough to build pure tank. Except these 2, he is still building tank, just like before all these changes. Nothing special here.

I still play many tanks as support and build defensive only, it works in my opinion. I don't think it's useless. Though, if you top lane as a tank against someone with conqueror, it will be pretty hard.
