The cool thing about this game is that you don't ACTUALLY need a tank. You need an initiator, yes; you need someone with enough resilience to face down their opening salvo and not melt; but you don't need someone who's just 'unkillable' with disables. The problem with tanks that I see constantly is that they build all survivability, no damage, so unless they're Amumu or Jarman and just put out incredible cc constantly, there is just no reason to kill them. If the other team has a Rammus or Shen or Leona I just laugh and laugh, they're 100% ignorable because their damage is so pitiful. So yeah tl;dr tanky dps > tank.
