It's really easy to see why the tank seems to be the most bitter/most dbaggy of us all and the least popular role. (︶ω︶)

1) Spotlight - stress, responsibility, the "god-complex"

2) Everything starts with tank - the fight and pivotal mechanics (interrupts), the blame, the congratulations

3) Perfection and Dealing with the rude majority of players - walking on eggshells to not seem like a dbag or a bad tank, but one crack and you're the worst player ever. Leads to tank snapping or rerolling. There is the Endgame rush to progress. Even if you're a nice guy, nobody "ain't got no time" to be teaching or waiting on a tank to learn to be better.
