How do you deal with "Tank" "Assassins"?

I must be missing something entirely, or does Sunfire, Spirit, and Grasp of the Undying make you absolutely unkillable on everything ever? Especially on Assassin-Type characters like Fizz who have not only annoying amounts of shred damage while being ridiculously bulky - but are also slippery as fuck and have low CD invulns or dashes or -insert annoying to deal with mechanic here-.

Is there like, some early game cheese strat to make them useless? I can't have fun in a solo lane at all while these guys exist - even if it's just a normal game.

you build full pen and build 1 or 2 counter of their primary damage type, usually MR.

so basically you want

item 3153 item 3071 item 3035

item 3151 item 3116 item 3135

and

item 3102 item 3083 item 3065 item 3026

i can assure you, tank assassins cant get through hp. they're only effective against full squishy builds.

I pick Morgana and trash them in lane so hard that they never crawl back. Tank Akali, Tank Ekko, they both get dumpstered by Morgana. Fizz I've never had trouble with either especially if he goes tank Fizz, but it's not on the same level as Akali or Ekko. Those two just get shit on.

play any ranged champion and make them regret playing the assasins with tank item instead of full dmg.
