Tanks are actually among the weaker classes in mobile games. If it's not hard content nobody likes them.

It could be based on something like Guild Wars 2. It does not really have a trinity(tank,healer,dps) setup since all the different classes can do all 3 to an extent. This has lead to groups being all class cannon dps-ers or maybe having one healer because you can use active skills and dodges to mitigate damage. However that does not really line up with the rest of the class system of the other world which seems to be rather rigid.
Honestly, the real reason for the tanker class in game being useless even though it seems to be bad game design is to give the other heroes some "reason" to not band together at the kangaroo court. If he was the only tank from a more balanced set of games they would have the choice of siding with him or going out to get slaughtered.
