I hate to nitpick, but I am getting so sick of seeing this.
STOP CALLING EVERYTHING THAT ISN'T SQUISHY A TANK.
Fighters, juggernauts, bruisers, and tanks all have different roles. Here they are for reference:
Fighters: A very diverse class that ranges from squishy DPS to slightly tankier variations, they sport good dueling damage and usually bring little in terms of utility to a team. They are meant to make up the front line and pressure the enemy carries with their damage. Examples include

Bruisers: A very tanky variation of fighters, they have good base damages so they generally build much tankier than fighters. They have a similar job to regular fighters, but they are much beefier and act as an off-tank, soaking damage and dealing it equally. Bruisers can clean up fights if things don't go too well, and can turn around fights by themselves with powerful team fight presence. Examples include

Juggernauts: A variation of bruisers that prioritize health stacking over resistances, given they have good base resistances. Acting as raid bosses, juggernauts bring great strength to a team, should they reach their squishy targets. While lacking in mobility, they more than make up for it in damage and survivability. Examples include
,
, and
.
.
Tanks: Extremely durable champions that prioritize resistances and HP over any other stat. They are diverse in their roles, including engaging, locking down carries, peeling for carries, and soaking up cooldowns. They use their arrangement of CC to debilitate enemies as to make up for their lack of damage. Examples include
,
, and
.
I have encountered way too many people calling everything that builds a shred of HP a tank, and it annoys many tank mains to no end.
