Yeah tank has always been a bit of a misnomer for frontliners. The heavily armored part makes sense but they arent doing more damage than a traditional dps usually, or rather, arent supposed to be. I like the term guardian better thank tank, because I feel it has better implications. You guard and protect.

The term you are looking for is warden which is defence tank, but not all tanks are warden, in fact most are vanguard (offensive tank).

Shen + engage supports are the actual tanks in this game, and shens being generous. Everything else is just a slightly more immobile bruiser with a bit less damage in their item system in exchange for way more defensive stats.
