Tanks are not dead, instead they are just much more weaker then they used to be.

Tanks can apply tons of cc but cc is not enough, sure is allows your ad carry to put out heaps of damage but think about it, tanks that go full tank do not have a lot of damage and its not like the enemy team is gonna focus the tank, instead they are gonna go for damage dealers.

Tanks are not to good anymore whilst bruisers etc are much more better.

Why are they better? offer more damage while being tanky, have cc to offer and are more effective for the team, as even if the enemy does focus your main damage dealers you can still deal heaps of damage, a good example of this is: trundle,darius,shyvana,udyr.

Teamwork is a key part of the game, however what would you rather have? a tank who can apply cc yet deal barely any damage for the team but instead just allow the damage dealers to put out damage? (these tanks die super quick now thanks to how much percentage damage items and champioms there are).

Or

would you rather have a person with heaps of cc, tons of damage and more to offer for the team?

tanks are still a good role in some cases however considering all the percentage damage being added, where do you think tanks are headed?
