Explain how is he wrong. A tank is supposed to protect his squishier teammates. How else can he do that if not by taking the damage for them (Taking skillshots in the face like a bro), or CCing the enemy (Ok.) If you take a Rammus, build tons of resistances and health, and then run away from the teamfight as the first one, are doing it WRONG.

Even if you take a, say, Riven, who is NOT a tank, but still builds some survivability, because she has to stand right next to the enemy, should cover the squishier ones, because they usually build full glass cannon (say, AD Carry). Hell, a Riven should even run into the enemy team to distract them and let the others escape, if there is no chance to turn the teamfight (say, your tank died, your carry is at low hp, and their carry is at full health.), because the Carry can retreat and block the incoming advance by killing the minions near the turret (unless you have no turrets left, but probably you are going to lose no matter who dies)
