User blog comment:Fistful of Force/There is no point in building tanky if you don't use it./@comment-86.139.10.38-20120722150320

There are only 2 real tanks that i feel can initiate well and that is malphite and alistar with their gap close and knockup but take shyvana and irelia for example. Their main builds are focused around being a damage dealing off-tank, they both have good initiation but they cannot be the brunt of the entire damage because it wastes their potential. Building ANY tank item on ANY champ will work and will enivitably save you... i personally buy randuins omen on akali as my main and it works very well, same with sunfire cape on fizz surprisingly.
