Fighters are resilient champs that have strong offensive steroids in their kit with decent defensive steroids. Fighters generally don't need to focus on building damage due to the innate steroids their kit provides. Since they're capable of building defensively Fighters are often compared to Tanks even though the comparison is off.

Tanks are resilient champions that have extremely strong disruptive abilities and/or defensive steroids generally coupled with a source of whittling damage. Tanks generally build defensively because their whittle damage either scales with defensive stats or scales poorly with offensive stats. CDR is imparitive to most tanks because their disruptive abilities typically have rather long CD's and they need their disruptive abilities to allow them to continue to whittle. Oh yeah and you build defensively because the longer you whittle the better you whittle :D

Xin is way more Fighter than Tank. While he does have a fair amount of disruptive abilities, his kit isn't empowered/restricted like a Tank's is. I'll agree Xin is more Tank than Assassin though because even if you've built a ton of damage it's basically the items killing opponents and not the kit (he doesn't really scale insanely with items like Assassin's do). I think he's considered an Assassin because he has single target cc and his ult does the isolation thing.

PS: I have the flu and took some medicine to make me feel better(ish). What lies above ^ ^ ^ ^ are my inebriated ramblings. I'm sorry if it's off topic or doesn't make sense or w/e. I usually articulate fairly well while inebriated though. I think I'm going to stop typing now. Goobie :vD
