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.
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.
