Which tanks are viable?

[quote=Trojan995]It seems to me that the only true tanks are [[amumu]], [[shen]], [[rammus]], and [[cho'gath]] (while even cho'gath is a little fuzzy, as he can be played as a mage). Everyone else is played as a tanky DPS or a support ([[udyr]], [[jarvan IV]], [[blitzcrank]], [[alistar]]). So, which champions are viable to fill the tank spot and which ones aren't?[/quote]

[quote=caucheka]if built properly, i believe nasus can be a tank. ugh random story but i just played with a nasus earlier who was the worst shit i've ever seen. seriously he says he is the teams tank yet he got merc treads and a catalyst, then rushed trinity force and other damage items. i also think that nunu could possibly be the tank (he has reason enough for everyone to focus him with his ult.)[/quote]

[quote=Lugignaf]Nunu really has enough lane presence to be a tank. Free healing smite every 7 attacks and a nice amount of HP too. Nasus is only semi-tanky and really shouldn't do it as a main mode of play.[/quote]

[quote=JunSupport]Psh. Alistar is right up there with Shen, Rammus, and Amumu. Cho'gath, idk. Singed is also a very viable tank. Malphite's great tanky dps. Nasus makes a good tanky dps. He can't be a tank, because mercury's treads basically ruins his Wither, and he lacks any other hard CC to initiate with. Udyr can make an excellent pure tank, with only 1 item like Trinity Force or Madreds for his jungle/damage output. Bear / Turtle stance dancing makes him an excellent initiator, fight-controller, and tanker.[/quote]

Alistar really shouldn't be a tank, he should just take support/AP items because his ultimate does all the tanking he needs. Singed I agree with, he can be a good tank. I actually play Udyr as a tank (though less commonly nowadays), and I was rather successful. Consistent bear stuns is fantastic for a team fight. Oh, and lane AND tank nunu are just ridiculous, nunu is so much better in the jungle and he's only a threat with AP.[/quote]

[quote=Lugignaf][quote=B-Wong] Lane Nunu? Psh. [/quote] I lane Nunu. Problem, B-Wong?[/quote]

[quote=B-Wong][quote=Lugignaf] [quote=B-Wong] Lane Nunu? Psh. [/quote] I lane Nunu. Problem, B-Wong? [/quote] Jungling is better?[/quote]

[quote=Jet][quote=Lugignaf] [quote=B-Wong] Lane Nunu? Psh. [/quote] I lane Nunu. Problem, B-Wong? [/quote] so you're basically useless ok[/quote]

[quote=Scrax]Jungle Nunu is really the only way you should play him. Just did a game as Jungle Nunu, as a matter of fact, and.. Here you go :) [img]http://img853.imageshack.us/img853/5273/nunu.png[/img] [b]Their team:[/b] [[Shen]], [[Ryze]], [[Shaco]], [[Warwick]], [[Master Yi]] [b]Our team:[/b] [[Nunu]], [[Jarvan IV]], [[Nocturne]], [[Veigar]], [[Teemo]] Shredded them to pieces.[/quote]
