Malphite sounds like he may work for you. He can initiate no problem, he deals plenty of damage with Iceborn Gauntlet and Abysssal. He's so damn tanky that you will be fine at all stages of the game. Carrying is the hardest part. As long as your team don't completely waste your initiations, you could be fine. Plus, he works literally anywhere.

Irelia is another option. She can certainly carry and is often built tanky.

My final suggestion is Leblanc. It sounds retarded but it can work. She's one of those champions that snowballs the moment she hits 6 and often leads to "OMG, LB has 12 kills, /ff". She can't really initiate though...

PS: I'll come back and add a link to the Youtube channel of someone that can really help in regards to Leblanc.
