Can this be made NOT a thing, and quickly?

So yeah I just played a ranked game where the enemy Talon built , , , , , and was building a as the game was finishing.

What you get is a tanky and durable Talon who can't be bursted down, yet can somehow still manage to burst squishies about as fast as regular Talon can. I know Riot's usual MO is to wait and see, encouraging alternative builds so long as they're healthy, but we've already got a precedent. Bruiser , tank , bruiser , and tank . What's the common precedent they set?

Tanky assassins are never healthy. So Riot, could you please, please look into this and see if there's anything worth doing about it? Whether it's the item or the champion or something else?

Oh look, another thing that has been a thing for a while now, but someone famous (or Korea, ... yes, the whole country) started doing it so now everyone is doing it, and making everyone else cry about how broken it is all of the sudden.

One time things are one time things.

Riot'll take action if it starts becoming widespread.

Most of these champions are supposed to be bruiser secondary. but the thing about bruisers is that full squishy champions shouldnt last any kind of real time versus them either. and the thing about these tanky assassin builds is that they beat real bruisers and tanky champions and are a thing because assassins dont have any real spell down time and they are balanced off of spamming spells instead of haveing bursty spells on long cooldowns so that there is a window when you can fight back against them. mages used to be like that but not a mage that is usable isnt a spell spam bot who never has mana issues even though they spamming the same poke spell off cooldown until fights start and chunking tanks for about 20% of their hp every 3 seconds if it hits and squishies for 40%-70% not counting the other spells they have to finish them off.
