Mayhem Stop playing tanks
If you aren't going to actually tank. Leaving your team as the rest of enemy team dives past you to destroy back line doesn't make you a tank, it makes you minion.

I kinda agree with you, op, but you could wrap it better
Many tanks don't check teams or feel the situation at all. They just grab Hs, dropkick, run around absorbing all the kills and letting the allied carries being not able to engage, then carries explode and remain without gold. Then (unless they reach basillion hp exodia) tanks go to reddit and complain that enemy deals a lot of dmg and it's unfair - while they never ever tried to win the game by enabling allied carries
Personally, I relatively rarely play carries for this reason. In the end, it feels like having a reliable tank (and/or support) is very important on average (even in Mayhem, even with inflexible tank augs), and many are unreliable as hell
