My opinions on the "Tank Problem"

I honestly don't find it that bad... I ONLY play tanks and playing them is very bearable at ALL stages of the game. My 7k hp Cho or 5k Voli or Shyvana could care less about your BoRK or LW. Idk, I just feel like tanks aren't as bad off as everybody puts them out to be. I do agree that they could use some help item-wise, and some more late-late game power, but everyone overlooks the 1v1 power of tanks. They really aren't that bad, guys. Even a Sejuani, who for some reason people think that she doesn't deal a lot of damage, can safely fight people quite easily. Have you ever seen a fed voli or mundo? Its terrifying. And places where they ARE lackluster can be redeemed with their strong cc/ initiation powers.

tl;dr tanks really aren't that bad in shape as everyone says.

Volibear, Shyvana, and Mudno aren't Tanks. They're Fighters and are much better at single target damage, and thus better at killing that pesky Last Whisper + Infinity Edge Vayne. Real Tanks, like Sejuani and Zac, lack the single target damage to deal with Marksmen if they fail to kill their target after their CC/burst runs out.

I mainly have trouble with playing tanks in the jungle. It takes so fucking long to clear these ridiculously overpowered camps if you don't build damage, and then you get ripped off and don't get enough gold to keep up item wise. You're always gonna be almost a full item behind solo lanes so you can't tank very well. I honestly don't know why Riot reworked the jungle again, S3-S4 jungle was PERFECTLY FINE.

While we're on the subject what would you call Gnar?

A bruiser? Can build tanky and do damage

An AD caster? Can build AD and do heavy ability damage

A tank? Has a lot of CC

A ranged carry? Can build ranged AD

He's kind of all of the above and it's weird.
