The only character i play in normal matches is Morgana because i know how she works and what to build, but we still lose depending on what the enemy champions are. Normally i end up with a person in a lane that doesnt know when to be careful and back off so they just die all the time.
Id play maokai for a tank because i think hes cool but at the same time i feel like his 'tank' label is a lie because he just seems so squishy even with tanky items.
If i played tanks in normal games id just feel like i would be feeding. Im very concious about negativity so i dont want to seem like im feeding because the thought of rage against me is...
If you're preference runs to AP champs, then you should try out some of the AP/Tank Hybrids. Nunu, Cho'Gath, Maokai, Amumu, etc. Most of them are bulkier than Morgana, albeit play very differently. And Maokai is actually a pretty decent tank, especially with his ult. as 20% damage reduction is very nice indeed. Nunu is one of the scariest late game AP Casters assuming you can get your ult off successfully when fighting in team fights. Cho'Gath can eat squishies even without AP, so adding some just makes him scarier. Amumu is another one who can do some pretty significant damage with AP due to his ult, bandage toss, and crying aoe. The important thing to note is that you shouldn't build AP first though. If you're going to get it, you want it after you've reached approximated 50% damage reduction for both magic resist and armor because after that it takes a lot more armor/mr to decrease the amount of damage you receive, so it starts becoming possible to up your own damage rather than stacking more magic resist or armor. Obviously it depends on your team composition, how the game is going, and other variables, but learning to play a tank that suits you will help you tremendously. I know I'm starting to work on my Casters, since at the moment I pretty much only have AP Teemo who I feel comfortable using. That lack of AP has hurt my team at times, so I've been trying pure AP Nunu and I'll probably try running Fiddlesticks, Morgana, and Annie sometime in the near future to shore up that lack.
