User blog comment:Eval12345/What Class of Tank I need to use?/@comment-80.15.143.26-20120807161614

you seem to make a mistake there:

there is tanks and OFFtanks while most tanks can be built offtank ( ex: malphite with  sorc/sunfire cape/abyssal / randuin)

a lot of offtanks are not viable as tanks : wukong is not a tank he's a

alistar is a tank, like nautilus or leona they CAN  be a threat while building pure tankyness because of their utility ( mainly CC)

olaf is an offtank, though you can get away with pure tankiness since you have that true damage ability

in terms of tanking : tank > offtank > bruiser

it's true some special champs like malphite or gallio are made to resist better physical or magic, but   there is a big difference between tanks and offtanks

wukong IS NOT a tank : no CC appart from ulti

alistar IS a tank: 2 hard CC + 70% damage reduction ultimate

malphite can be tank or offtank, he has the CC to be tank, but also has the potential damage to be a good offtank
