I like it how everyone is talking about having to tank turrets and is ignoring the problems of tanking minions. =P

The idea of having sole access to CS is definitely cool, but the core problem it would pose is this: Minions can and will kill you at level 1. I'm not sure if I know of a champion who could tank more than 1-2 minion waves before having to back, especially when they're the sole source of damage.

Simply wouldn't work.
