There's no risk vs reward to tanking, and you can hop into it with basically no SP investment on your part to speak of. It's stupid right now because there isn't even a point to killing the tank other than to stop him getting free kills. I can't tell you how many times I zero in on a soma or sica that's been terrorizing all match, and once it gets even close to popping, the pilot just hops out and runs away.
Why? Because it costs him next to nothing and he's already raked in a ton of kills off of players far more skilled than him.
Tanks are stupid right now because there's no risk to run them vs the reward of running them, exactly opposite of the risk required to take them down, vs the lack of reward for doing so.

I've only got 20 million isk, DF. I run complex mods on my Gunny with an advanced missile turret, and it currently costs exactly 300,885 isk to replace it. Losing it hurts my finances. (Losing it to a rail gun sica hurts my PRIDE). I'm planning a marathon AFK fest to shore up my finances and to prepare for the additional expense of a proto turret.
300K is free as far as tanks are concerned

They're pointless in the hands of people who don't know where and how to use them. In one match I popped two tanks and a dropship all by myself with my nerfed swarms. It's now critical where you're set up in order to do this, in other words, it now takes skill to use swarms.
Also pray that they didn't equip nitrous or afterburners, or that they're asleep at the wheel.

And this right here is the problem.
No one is to blame but CCP when free tanks become the go to AV choice, even for people with millions of SP invested in infantry AV.
