I feel like in tanking you have to be much more of a calculator. Assuming your team DOES follow you into everything (which they should), you have to know which fights they can win and which fights they can better than anyone. If you initiate and your team dies, it's your fault. If you don't initiate when you should have and you lose the game due to overdefensive playing, it's also your fault. The main difference in tanking imo is your willingness to die for a better cause, such as a pushed tower, won teamfight, or saved carry.
