I agree with everything on here. I tank because i need to every game and at first i hated it then i started to love tower diving for my team to get the last hit on the running TF or Nidalee. Only problem i have is cho gath being in the top 4 tanks...no. Just no. Amumu. Rammus. Shen. Singed. Malphite. Maokai. Real tanks in my opinion. All have some great/decent CC and decent damage. Just my opinion though. I never see a cho gath that does good if anyone on the opposing team gets a madreds.

Amumu is still one of the stronger junglers out there and it's very possible to jungle with him.

Without runes, I sometimes find it hard to jungle with Amu if I start with Despair and Blue Buff, without a leash. Very easily counter jungled too imo.

This isn't true. If you start at wraiths instead of blue you can confuse the enemy. When they find no one is protecting blue they won't know what to do. If they decide to steal blue, this is a bad thing, but you can still jungle. You'll just be somewhat slower. About 9 out of 10 games my blue isn't stolen when I start at wraiths in normal solo que. Also, you can prevent wraiths from being stolen by someone like Nunu since you start at wraiths.

Great bit of information, especially for information hoarders like myself. As far as I'm concerned, everyone should read this, even if they don't play.

Biggest question I have is: where is Maokai? Didn't notice any other champ being left out. I know he's not the most popular tank, or the best for the conventional roles, but he still can open a new one in the enemy.

I play him aggressive early-mid game and 80% keep other people on their side of the river. He can also initiate, like a tank should, albeit he has to walk out soon, in a teamfight.

Maybe I'm just too low a level to be consistently fighting smarter opponents, or people just don't have the amount of experience to fight me off well...

What an excellent guide, I read this during my lunch break yesterday and when I went home to play I found myself playing the game on a different level. This really improved my understanding of the game and of the different roles. I recommend everyone to read this.

Well as for me, you just sold it to me straight, not 1 but 5 champs I need to buy first to start off on the right foot in this game and get the fundamentals down.

And you averted tragedy, because despite having always been aware that this is a team game, I was about to become another one of those worst-kind-of-players who starts off with the first thing that looks interesting, but after ages of playing will still have me in the dark about how to work every role effectively and reliably for my team. And the importance of being flexible.

Hey, don't want to be a prick but I just wanted to point out that you haven't added Maokai into your database (I am sure someone else has said this before). I imagine he would be a member of the "Off Tank/Uncommon Tank" section.
