You know that CC reduction stacks multiplicatively right?

This means the mastery will actually give you greater reduction if you're playing a champ who doesn't have Merc Treads or an innate reduction.

if that is truth, the only reason to get defensive tree for offtanks is for CDR and lower tier masteries than higher tier.

Nah it's still good. :P

Ninja Tabi is actually becoming a more popular buy than Merc Treads for top anyway.

Show me a solo top/tanky AD who rushes catalyst instead of resistances, and I'll show you a bad solo top.

No tanky AD will build a Catalyst because it doesn't build into anything useful for them. Banshee's Veil perhaps, but that's imo far inferior to Force of Nature on tanky champs.

Tanky AP on the other hand...

Actually, Garen should run 21/9/0. He is all about dealing dmg earlygame and Executioner stacks so well with his Demacian Justice. And you definitly want Sunder .

Even at high elo most players are not solo'ing Cho to his full potential.

Of the tanky AP's who can legitimately solo top effectively...

There's Rumble, Kennen can solo it but he's not tanky, and... Remind me of the other ones? (I can only think of energy champs who build SV.

Singed is pretty much the one champ that comes to mind who solo's well and can rush a Catalyst to a great effect.
