If you want a main tank then buy Cho'Gath. He's a fantastic solo top laner and can be a great jungler. He has basically the best ultimate in the game, farms extremely well, and is VERY versatile, capable of being built full tank or a tanky AP variant. His build is unpredictable, from Rylai's to Rod of Ages to Frozen Heart to Wit's End; etc. He's also cheap.
Singed would be my choice. Chogath is decent, but Singed just eats people alive and can do whatever the **** he wants.
Udyr is a great tank, but hes relatively squishy for a tank. Mainly cuz hes not a tank. Hes an offtank. But im biased. Sue me.

Taric doesn't necessarily make a good primary tank.
He makes a good off-tank support champion who counters the whole "Focus the squishy support first!" thought that most teams have.

Malphite, Singed and Cho'Gath are my personal favorite tanks (Cho needs some AP usually). Amumu and Galio are also pretty strong.
Thanks to The_Nameless_Bard for the sig!

Of course not, Cho can eat people alive, but Singed not.
I have Cho'Gath already, but he got free and I had to stop using him. I dont play as a free champion.

OK, I'm convinced. But that wont stop me from buying some tanky items for either Taric or Alistar.
And using RP to buy 3150 champions is a waste.
You need to log in before commenting.
Why wuld you build "Tank alistar".
Baddies ofc.
Alistar is the best support in game right now in my opinion. Basically counters any aggressiveness bot lane. And require no real items what so ever to be useful.
This.
Support Alistar can be a tank for the duration of his ultimate, and can support when it isn't up. There's really no reason to build any non-supportive defensive item on him since 75% resistance is crazily good. The fact that you're kind of squishy before activation gives them some incentive to lower you, too.
@OP
Taric isn't a tank, he's a support, and one of the best supports in the game, to be honest.
Reasons why he's not a tank -
Only ONE single target CC, and it's 1.5s, too.
No real peel. You can CC them once but that's about it.
No way to reach the enemy without using his stun. As a few examples, Amumu has his Q, Shen has E, Leona has E, Galio has a slow and speed buff.
He's 100 times better as a support
Can't jungle/solo lane very well
A tank is someone that takes damage whilst forcing enemies to focus them at the same time. Someone that can take a lot of damage but can't take the damage because the enemies won't focus them is bad. Someone that is invincible that either runs around CCing the enemy team or gives their carries a chance to destroy them is good.
