Tanks don't "reflect damage" unless they have, and that's not the contribution they make to teamfights. No champion should be unilaterally terrible at teamfights just to 1v1 everyone, and new Fiora is definitely not that, thanks to the AoE heal on her ult (that used to be a major problem with bruisers, though). I'm also not saying tanks should 1v1 Fiora by building full tank, but rather that they should have an opportunity to do so on a skill basis, just as a support could have a shot at killing an assassin. That's what counterplay means. However, Fiora's current true damage scaling seriously skews that by allowing her to kill tanks at far too fast a pace, when they need their defenses to be able to function. It would make sense for Fiora to have an advantage against tanks, but right now that advantage translates to her invalidating tank itemization completely past certain amounts of AD, which is not healthy.

I also think the tank meta arose once Riot realized that tanks didn't have to be terrible in 1v1s just so that they could be good in teamfights. Sion himself is a tank who can hold his own in top lane, and so are the likes of and. Every champion should have a shot at being able to 1v1 another, even if it's a support versus an assassin, and the fact that Fiora can auto-win in duels against tanks at high enough amounts of AD does not work with that.
