im sorry, but im getting disgusted by tanks, no offense, trust me, but when they do as much, if not more damage than me, someone building damage, while being able to tank, it's rather.. infuriating, frustrating, annoying etc, your thoughts?
EndlessSorcerer5 votesDefensive stats reduce the damage one takes.
You have more damage and are hitting someone who has defensive stats. For example, you are dealing twice their damage and they are reducing it by half.
They have less damage and are hitting someone without defensive stats. For example, they are dealing normal damage and you aren't reducing it at all.
You can easily see the difference is tanks vs. tanks (both taking minimal damage over a long duration) or carries vs carries (someone dying without two seconds).
xBushx1 votesIf you give them 2x the health and half the damage would make them completely avoidable. I dont get it what do people want. Double standards we cant make up our mind.
xMisuto1 votesadc is lower level then other lanes --> lower base stats ---> tanks deal ton of dmg
Ralanr1 votesWait...what tanks?
Requiemsfire1 votesIf tanks couldn't do damage, then no one would really play a tank at all, they need base damages to remain relevant in both laning phase and after in order to push waves etc.
Shuyin1781 votesIt's not that tanks do a lot of damage, it's that they're able to take more hits than you. They have low damage and high defenses, you have high damage and low defenses, of course it is going to look like they do a lot of damage when you have no tank stats yourself.
Vekkna1 votesIt's not that simple because there are plenty of tanky damage dealers who really do have high damage and high defense. 
If Malphite and Lux use the same AP tank build, Malphite is doing more damage than Lux in a burst combo while having far more effective health and sustained damage.
What you're saying just isn't true. It's a balance flaw when you have champs that are extremely hard to kill but deal equal or more damage than a mage or (typical) ADC using the same build.
The main problems are Trinity and BC making it extremely easy for tanky ADs to deal high damage and make it stick, all while sporting a huge ehp pool, some life steal or shields (or both), and typically good mobility and cc.
Berserknurple1 votes90% of those champions are bruisers or juggernauts. Of course they're going to have more damage than you, they have to get in close and avoid the frontline to even touch you. Mages and ADCs have the ability to do their damage from range, safe behind a frontline. You're trading survivability for range and safety.
