Full range of movement would only be an excuse if we had a dodge tank. We don't. Distracting enemies? Most of the things we fight are monsters that don't really care how toned your abs are or how big your boobs are.

Now, I don't mind when people tank in them, and I don't mind when SE throws us a fanservicy tank set like in the Shisui or Sky Rat sets. It's fine. But we don't need to pretend that it actually makes sense. It doesn't make sense, but that's okay.
