Why are some Tanks better assassin's than the real Assassin's?

There are certain tanks that feel as if they do more damage than assassin's themselves, which would explain why everyone is complaining about how assassin's are underpowered.

Some tanks have even bigger damage scaling abilities than assassin's which makes no sense if you ask me.

Examples:

Full AP Full AD

Full AP? Full tank cho is a better assassin than most assassins the game.

Zed wishes he could stack health and then 1 shot squishies with his ult.

The only AD you listed that’s actually a tank is Sion.

And scalings differ from champion to champion. Though honestly Blitz and Malphite are just old designs.

The unseen Malphite is the deadliest. I personally consider more of an ap bruiser, than tank, he does not have enough hard cc to justify full tank build. Its much more fun to build something like item 3068 item 3110 item 3001 item 3020 item 3151 and one shot entire enemy team with ult, while still being a tanky boy.

Honestly he’s a result of old designs. When he gets reworked he’ll probably have more hard CC.

Hopefully it won’t be too reliable because that imo is starting to be a problem.

I once saw a malphite who had 1000 armor, spooky stuff.
