Conclusion

Fighter champions tend to compliment the true tank and

their secondary goal after engaging and absorbing
burst/dps is to deal dmg & disrupt the backline/frontline.

True tank is the superior role just because it can keep

people around and has distinct hard cc that no other role
has.

Fighters main focus is to disrupt and dmg after the

engage/absorb and compliment the true tank.
True Tank can be played offensively or defensively but is
played defensively because other roles can be offensive
better and true tanks must always be in the heat of the
battle.

one too if positioned correctly.
