yeah pudge is a ganker.
In terms of tanking, bristleback is great, He just doesnt have the skills to help much in team fights. in your list, i vote for centaur, coz with dagger, you are more ganking friendly. fun. Wink

bristle is a very good tank imho, the 40% dmg ressistance from back is the ultimate tanking skill. but you have to turn away, it isnt good when fighting, only when hunting/escaping. But from the list , tide is the best tank.

lol, nobody mentioned the almighty tree so far.. biggest str and str gain in the game, and the armor+stats skill build for early game makes him the biggest tank imo
and not to forget, there are lucy and dirge and davion too

skeleton king is also really one of the ultimate tanks.He has the lifesteal that keeps him alive and what irritates the enemy is his reincarnation.
Naix could be one of them too.His gay lifesteal would make his a nice tank so as his ulti if he is even not going to survive.

a tank is supposed to tank up the damage. if you use naix or leo as a tank they will just aim the weak casters instead

For me, axe is the best tank... Tide, Bristle and Cent.. after him. Sladar and Pudge are NOT tanks. They are combat heroes.

axe never really seems to be AWESOME after mid game. Hes got good 2 good tank skills but hes just an average hero. Who actually attacks the guy (skele king)with reincarnation first? that makes him a bad tank. Levi dosent really do much for the team apart from the occasional gush and wicked long stun cd. ALtho if hes lucky he'll proc anchor a lot.

Actually...i suppose any1 with an overwhelming amount of life and dmg reduction would make people avoid ff'ing you, technically making you a bad tank. My vote goes to Magnus because hes not really a huge str gain hero and emphasizes on aoe dmg.
