"A tank (also known as a meat shield) is a style of character in gaming, often associated with a character class. A common convention in real-time strategy games, role-playing games, fighting games, multiplayer online battle arenas and MUDs, tanks redirect enemy attacks or attention toward themselves in order to protect other characters or units. Since this role often requires them to suffer large amounts of damage, they rely on large amounts of vitality or armor, healing by other party members, evasiveness and misdirection, or self regeneration.[1]

Tanks are often represented as large or heavily armored."

Now tell me how that doesn't fit Garen.

MMOs, RPGs (DnD) and the like have been around a LOT, LOT, LOT longer than League. If League is going to use RPG terms, I'm going to use the term properly.

If you're going to be playimg league, use the League terms.

Use the local jargon is what I'm saying.

We don't talk about tanks taking an absurd amount of damage in a very short time...
