Viable mid tanks?

[quote=bobunio]Morde, mundo, if you play much mid you could try with leona/ammumu. You can play swain as ap tank and he's a good mid. It's all about fulfilling the role in the team, though. Some people could say 'don't go mid with ammumu as he's a great jungler', but I guess it wasn't the point of the thread. Oh and btw, for me you could go mid pretty much with ANY champion (would be tough with some melee champs though). He just needs to be built mid-way.[/quote]

[quote=Wintermond]Tanks have solo top. Why do they want to mid. They were trolling.[/quote]

[quote=deathalo44]Some full tanks are beasts in mid. Mord : OMG I JUST CAN"T TOUCH THIS~ lol Cho'Gath : Technically, he IS a spellcaster AND tank. He has great survivalbility due to his passive. Galio : He does decent damage early and with mana regen, he can easily hold mid. Malphite : Creep clearer and also a decent form of harrass. The big problem is he is always mana hungry early. Maokai : BEST.EARLY.HARRASS (Walking to a ton of saplings = 1st blood :) ) Rumble : Both danger zone and overheat are good. However, usually they drift off to AP tank PS : Karma isn't a tank no matter what. She is just a self-sufficient support.[/quote]

[quote=Temzilla]There are only like two people that build tanky that go mid. Galio and Sona. Otherwise there isn't really anything but burst in mid. Galio goes mid to counter Malzahar usually, he's a good counter to singed as well. Can't really think of anyone else. Singed goes top cause he's against sustained champs.

[quote=Searz]Most tanks and tanky DPS with a form of ranged harassment can go mid.[/quote]

[quote=Wintermond][quote=Searz] Most tanks and tanky DPS with a form of ranged harassment can go mid. [/quote] Sure they can, but they are better at solo top, since the lane is longer there and a squishy caster is really easily killed there because they can't escape ganks as easy as in mid.[/quote]

[quote=Searz]Yea obviously, but this isn't about top lane..[/quote]

[quote=Wintermond][quote=Searz] Yea obviously, but this isn't about top lane.. [/quote] A tank in the mid is contraproductive for your Team, if you talk about a tank mid lane you have to talk about the consequences for other lanes, since this is part of the viability of a lane setup.[/quote]

[quote=Temzilla][quote=Searz] Most tanks and tanky DPS with a form of ranged harassment can go mid. [/quote] So, Galio, Shen, Maokai and Taric (If you consider taric a tank.) It really all hinges on your definition of a tank.[/quote]

[quote=Dotter]I agree with Winter, but I've gone mid many times with Malphite back when I mained him and completely destroyed their AP carry simply by rushing a negatron cloak and zoning them with shards and slams. Even in ranked games. But that was before his nerfs.[/quote]
