I had enough of people not wanting to tank in normal games.
I have 6200 to be spend on a champion but i cant decide.
I want to buy a true tank, not a tanky dps, not a bruiser, but a pure tank.

I am leaning towards Shen. Is he worth it? If not which you think i should take?

Give me some recommendations please, I really cant decide :(

Regards


P.S, need some team players EU games. I am level 28. I play tryndamere mostly (am actually pretty good with him), vladimir (tanky or dps) and the tank that i am about to buy now :)

feel free to add me

Shen.

If you don't like Shen, you should also consider Shen.

If neither of them suit your taste, you might want to try Shen instead, but I really recommend Shen instead of Shen.

Shen or Amumu. Depending on whether you enjoy jungling or laning. Those are probably the 2 best pure tanks. Shen is in my opinion the best laning pure tank and amumu is in my opinion the best jungling pure tank. Both have their own unique set of skills and both will reward you and your team greatly if you know how to play them well.

Amumu, because he's easy as balls to play and is a strong pick for a jungler and tank. I would say Shen but he's always banned. ALWAYS.

actually I change my mind. Buy Jarvan! He's really damn good right now and is the best sidelane tank in the game, while dealing significant damage. Plus he's never banned.

Shen, Jarvan, Mumu, and Rammus are all great choices. If you're really going for all-out tank and a lot less on the damage perspective, definitely Rammus or Shen.

Shen, Rammus, and Amumu are the only true tanks, based entirely on tanking. They have crazy amounts of CC and are made to take damage. Anyone else has an offtank tendency or doesn't have enough CC to qualify (maybe malph, some say yes some say no).
