Is it really always my fault as tank?

Last season I started playing consistently and got into comp for the first time, I knew it wasn't gonna be easy mainly because I was used to qp but I wasn't expecting it to be THIS bad.

I decided to play tank because I think that I have a good understanding of the role and how to play it. Take space and make it safe, don't just stand in the open taking damage, enable places for my team to play, don't be a resource hog, use cover, punish ovetextending enemies, etc. My experience has been awful and it's mainly because a lot of games I have my entire team blaming me for everything that goes wrong. I admit I'm not the best player but I don't think I'm THAT bad. There have been games where I don't die a single time and play objective but somehow it's my fault that my dps got mowed down on flank because "I left them alone to die" or my supports stop helping everyone because "braindead tank, what's the point" and the always present "tank diff" at the end of a game.

I don't really blame my team because I understand there are many factors at play and there is always the possibility of the other team just being better. But I don't really understand why the fault is always on the tank.

I mainly play Ramattra and always try to adapt my playstyle to better match the enemy team but if I'm pushed to it I sometimes I switch to Hazard or Junker Queen I try to identify when I make mistakes and always apologize to my team for it but I still get flamed to hell and back.

I'm hard stuck in bronze, sometimes I get a couple of good matches and climb to silver 3 but I quickly go back to bronze. I'm sitting around 60~ hours of comp, 300~ games played and only 90~ won. I once had a losing streak of 20. I'm about to throw the towel, HELP!
