This is post is to discuss the role of tanking.
Is tanking is getting lots of armor and life and rush in like an idiot waiting till your death? No.
The real role of tanks as I think is to survive longer in battles and thus deal lots of dmg even without ap / ad items, though I think a real tank shall be balanced, 4 defensive item, 1 hybrid and 1 offensive.
Lets take example of ap tank: You get whatever boots you think you need, 3 tankish item, Zhoniya's and Mejai's or Deathcap.
A "pure" tank is not useless at all, he is better at surviving and can stay alive after all his team is dead and keep fighting fairly even against 3 plays! But, his problem is that he won't do enough damage to be any of a use.
A "pure" tank, when chased by 3-4 people can only run and hope to survive until he reach a tower or until he gets any help, unlike him, alanced tank can counter and kill one or two people before he dies.
Well this is my opinion, and every one has it's own.
List of good "pure" tanks: Rammus, Malphite and Mundo.
List of good balanced tanks: Amumu, Garen & Galio.
Good luck at tanking!
