They're super tanky and do more damage than adcs. So why are ADCs still required on every viable team comp?

Tanks don't deal much damage in comparison to champions who have built offensively. However, it may appear that they do because:

  • Tanks mitigate the damage they take and can survive quite a bit
  • Tanks have decent base damages, even if they can't itemize damage or penetration
  • They target squishy champions who can't mitigate their damage

Basically, you want to know why a tank can damage you without offensive items? The better question is why you expect to survive damage without defensive items.

Since tanks don't itemize penetration, resistances can severely reduce their damage output. Consider getting a Randuin's Omen or Banshee's Veil instead of a 5th offensive item.

Ah, a mid main who dabbles in Riven and Lee Song.

Yep, finally something you can't 100-0 anymore. Get used to it buddy, because if you want to play an assassin you actually have to focus the carries and use proper positioning instead of mashing buttons in order to win teamfights.

The tanks that are unkillable don't do enough damage to compare to any good ADC due to building so much armor and MR. They are very annoying but I still see assassins killing tanks that aren't at 100% health. You just have to be smarter now choosing your engages.
