Riot hasn't done a good job with these labels imo. When they use tank, sometimes they mean actual tank (initiate, peel, disrupt) and sometimes they mean bruiser.... which isn't really a tank they just build damage mitigation items so they can shrug off carry damage and attack them. Which is odd since Bruiser wasn't a term used by the community until Riot rednames began using it extensively on the boards.

What they mean with Aatrox is that he may need to build tanky in order to fulfill his role of dealing damage.
