And also say that doesn't mean they're trying to lose. What is tanking? What are you even trying to say here?
You are over fixated on the term "tank". I used the term "soft tank" to mean that they are not actively trying to lose, but the focus has shifted from winning games to player health. Call it something else if you like. I just think the overall approach has shifted to a more long term outlook than a short term one.
