Just curious what you guys favorite tanks are.

I'd have to say my favorite tank right now is Odin.

I don't build him tanky though I build him with more damage and build slight defense depending on whos in my lane/match.

I never used to pick odin much, I only picked him when I was new to the game so I would always build him like a tank.

Now that I build him with damage I am going like 12-3 in alot of my matches with him lately when I decided to pick him.

Odin used to be the tank I underestimated, meaning when I seen him in a lane I never thought he would be able do dish out damage on me. Of course this was back months ago when I was new, but it carried with me, even when I seen odins jumping from the air I never really feared odin before.

Now that I play him and see what he can do I no longer underestimate him.

Odin is like my 2nd favorite god at the movement or at least one of my favorite now.

My favorite tank is also Odin. Like you said he is tanky, but can dish out some good damage. He is also really helpful to his team because of Birds of Wisdom and Odin's Shout, and a blast to play as trapping people in your ring of death never gets old!

Guan Yu Used to be my favorite tank before I started playing Odin. I still like Odin a bit more, but Guan Yu is a closed seconded. Tanky with some good damage, lots of CC if you buy Gem of Isolation, a heal, a devastating ultimate if used with good timing and one of the best gods at tower driving and tower defending because of his passive. His skills also has the best sound effects in the game.

Other then that I like Hades and Athena a lot, but I just like Odin and Guan Yu more.

I've never really been a huge tank player but I really enjoyed playing as Athena the other night.

I think I'd probably end up more a bruiser than a full tank if I went for it.

It really depends on the game.
But i think my favorites are:
solo Vulcan and just feeling the frustration from the enemy lane when they can't push your tower.
being annoying with Sobek just tossing the carry over and over again.
Odin as you guys said just being aggressive
and Athena is a lot of fun

Guan Yu. Sobek.

But Athena is proving to be very fun too. They all have their strengths that I like. Guan can be very damaging, combining his debuff with some good damage output. Sobek is as true of a tank as can be. When I want pure tank, I fire up Sobek. I know he can do lots of damage, but his crowd control and teamfight disruption are too strong to screw up. Just all tank items and full support. Athena has such range, that I'm falling in love with the girl. Recall to buy/heal, teammate in trouble, wonderwoman fly to the rescue. BRB saving the far lane. I'm currently building her bruiser style, with a few damaging items to play up her snipe strengths. Get in to protect your teammate, and then dash for the kill turning the tides completely. Plus, dat taunt.... mmmmmmm

I always wondered a few things since its not very clear to me

#1 - Guan Yu's Passive, how close do you need to be to towers for his passive to activate. I always wondered if it was inside the tower or exactly how close.

#2 - Birds of wisdom, does this give vision to your allies or are you teh only one who sees the extra vision.

When I pick odin, I use his odin's shout when in tower range so I can take down the tower really fast /along with my ad's shoot so fast it takes down towers in seconds.

#1 it is inside tower range, allied and enemy towers.

#2 allies see the extra range as well.
