What tank to use

[quote=Zorc]Hello, I've played this game for quite some time now and is currently addicted to it :P Anyway, I want a hero suggestion regarding tank on who is good and fun to use. If possible, I want the tank to have a reason to be targeted not just because of having high hp(cho gath) or taunt(rammus, shen). I've played Sion(free pick) as an off-tank and Cho(free pick) and I love to use Sion more than Cho because of the stun and his ulti but I want to try other good tank as well before deciding to purchase him. Suggestion? p.s sorry if I have bad grammar. English is not my main language :P[/quote]

[quote=Jebus McAzn]If you're looking for a tank that has crowd control and a strong ultimate, Amumu is the obvious choice. Amazing stun+initiate on his Q and his ultimate. The other strongest tanks include Shen, Rammus, and Malphite.[/quote]

[quote=Zeprido]I'm going to suggest Amumu for you, he's good both in the lane and jungling. He has 2 stuns: [[bandage toss]] and [[curse of the mummy]] (his ult which can stun an entire team if placed well). His [[despair]] deals a percentage of an enemies life per second. He does take some time to learn but overall it is worth it. You can also learn to Jungle with Warwick and build him into "Tankwick" and play the part of initiator for your team with your ult. Malphite is also a good choice, especially since he too can jungle, and has a skill that scales off of armor. His Ultimate is one of the best initiation skills in the game as if its placed well you can knock up most if not all of the enemy team.[/quote]

[quote=Zorc]Luckily Malphite and Shen are free this week so I can test drive them first. I'm in a bind on whether to try Amumu first or buy him right now mainly because I'm not that good at skill shooting and may miss a lot :P I do want to know though if there is a tank champion that have a REASON why people would attack him rather than our team carry/squishy?[/quote]

[quote=MDC]If people voluntarily attack tank, then tank is not needed in the game. Any offtank would do.[/quote]

[quote=Scrax][quote=Zorc] I'm in a bind on whether to try Amumu first or buy him right now mainly because I'm not that good at skill shooting and may miss a lot :P [/quote] Practice with Morgana this week first then :) You know, the skill shot part. For tank I'd say Shen is the way to go. He's just super-mother-flippin'-holyshitcupcakes brilliant. Really :D[/quote]

[quote=Zorc]Have just tried Malphite....and he ROCKS! Gotta to love his skillset :P Tried Shen as well but it seems I'm not suited for a no mana champion. Having a hard time using him to tank and always have stamina problem T_T[/quote]

[/quote] Well on the top of my head I can think of Shen, Rammus and Galio cuse they got taunt skills. Other then that the reason ppl attack a tank is because of positions, a good tank is always in front of his team and the first to run into a fight.[/quote]

[quote=Mowen]Shen is the better tank. Malphite doesn't have anything to really make the other team attack him (although he does have a better initiate skill). I had trouble keeping shen's energy up at first too. My best hint would be always make sure you have enough energy for taunt when it's going to come up soon. Don't use Q or W if it means you can't taunt when it's up.[/quote]

[quote=SinDelta]Guys aren't we all forgetting Mundo :P haha on a serious note. If you like to tank you should try Alistar who i think is an amazing tank, he has aoe stun and his headbutt can push away the carry attacking your squishy and the cool about star is he can be built a few different ways and still be tanky.[/quote]
