Assassins buidling tank, why rito?

I've just had 3 games where there was either a Ekko, Akali, or Fizz building fucking tank, and completely oneshotting me. I'm sorry what riot? How can you have full tank items with grasp of the undying and do more damage then the guy who's building full ad? Like being an adc main and knowing that is actually triggering me. And I've checked the graphs after all 3 of these matches, and the champions with the highest damage given and taken were these tank assassins. What the actual fuck riot, I can't even do anything as adc if an Ekko can just rape me in my own back line with 3 to 4k health and walk out for free, or Akali who just needs a gunblade then boom go full tank and I'm the most useless player in the game. Riot I'm really getting tired of this bullshit because now all these games feel more like whoever has more tanks wins. Like do you know how retarded it is to be 15/2 with Draven have a 2/3 fucking tank akali one shot me? Riot fix your fucking tank items, they cripple anybody who doesn't build tanky. Seeing a fucking tank just take no damage walk up to me and bend me over to get fucked is one of the most tilting things I've ever experienced in ranked. Just done being an adc main until this shit is fixed, can't even stay safe in my own back line with every assassin having a sunfires, gauntlet, and spirit visage. Like just the thought of having to build a tanky item just to survive awhile longer from other fucking tanks is shitty, like if I do I won't do much damage but then I wouldn't even be as tanky as the people building tank so what do I even do? Good job rito, you made adc the worst role ever to play.

Sorry if this seems like a rant(which it really was)I wrote this at 2 am and right after the ranked game I had the tank Akali 1v1 me 2/3 with a gunblade and sunfire's(We lost that game). I was pissed off really fucking badly so don't take anything I said as an insult to riot.

Neither, all those champions are getting reworked.

  1. Their Bruiser builds. Because Bruisers build defenses, but usually start with one offensive item. Tri force on Ekko, Gunblade on Akali. And these assassin fill the Bruiser's roles when building these items. (They are not tanks, in a true sense, as they don't offer engage or lockdown.)

  2. They probably have more damage on their end game report, simply because they lived longer. (Some true tanks will have more damage than their carries.) They lived longer, and dealt more damage, yet that doesn't tell you anything about either their burst, or DPS.

  3. if your a glass cannon, you should be on the back line anyway. And if your an ADC without a lick of Life steal, then you don't even really have any dueling power. (Where an akali who built Gunblade, and has spell vamp built in, has a ton of dueling power.)

  4. Again Bruisers. For as obnoxious as those Bruiser Assassins are, I'm pretty sure a Jax or Irelia, could do the same with similar itemization.

  5. Bruiser builds are popular, in my opinion simply because it flattens the feast or famine power curve. And that partially due to the fact that a defensive build allows you better dueling power, thus giving you better 1v1 potential, and can make you a decent split pusher in the process.

And Riot won't Gut these builds. (as long as their win rates are inline) because a) they don't pidgin hole champions into building a certain way, and b) Assassins doing Bruisery things isn't exactly unhealthy for the game. (Though you could argue that certain champs can outshine actual bruisers, but I would leave that on a champ to champ level)
