The way to get out of this is using the reverse. I used to be the one that would always tank; but after a while I devoted myself only to ad or ap carries and never choose a tank- therefore forcing others to choose a tank or dodge queue. Soon, you will get proficient at other roles using this tactics as well... but like the basics of tanking is initiating and controlling team fights, you do need to utilize basic conceptions and knowledge of characters (e.g. Annie- please combo, just stack up passive and go RQW boom, Ashe- farm farm carry carry)
