Tanks That Work Well Mid?

Just curious as to what tanks can be viable mid lane. I like to play mid but get tired of top/jungle/support all going squishies and we have no front line. I will usually concede and go Chogath mid or something, but Im wondering what other heavy champs would work mid.

Plenty of tanks work well mid as long as you rush a damage item first. IE Jarvan, wukong, lee sin, naut, voli, moakai, malphite, gragas, reksai. It's unconventional, but rush a ghostblade or hydra on most of the AD guys, or a ludens/zhonyas or the AP guys and then go tank after you're dishing out some damage. You have to be able to dish out some trade power and clear waves fast, but after that survivability is fine. Though in all honesty voli you might as well just rush a deadmans or frozen mallet for a first item and you'll still do shit tons of damage.

Ekko Galio Mordekaiser Vladimir Malphite Are all good mids, and can become a full tank or be tanky.

Chogath Galio are probably the most conventional options.

Lulu Orianna Lux can also be good options to provide utility and durability for your team.

The more unconventional ones I've seen are Sejuani Sion Renekton . Mostly to counter assassins, I think.
