How to fix assassins, juggernauts/bruisers and tanks

Change all tank items, nerf them to a third defensive stats (armor, MR and health and reduce certain passives/actives), and give a passive to tanks that increases said defensive stats to 3 times but certain passives and actives up to a two thirds, for juggernauts/bruisers just two thirds of the defensive stats and 3 times some passives and actives.

This excludes items such GA, Zhonya, Abyssal, BotRK, etc.

This way assassins can't build tanky anymore and go 1v5 and get that penta; bruisers/juggernauts can't kill tanks that easily and give some room to play them and don't deal too much damage as in capable of 100-0 squishies like assasins do, tanks don't deal that much damage but won't be melted easily either and remain just tanky. There, an easy fix.

You do realize that when an assassin goes tanky, they are sacrificing a lot of the dmg they would be doing.....Also, Juggernauts are meant to be able to deal quite a bit of dmg....

Giving tanks more stats isn't the answer. If tanks have higher stats for free, they'll just build damage and not worry. If Malphite has like 180 base armor why would he need to build any more defense?

I think that you'd like HotS.

Uh you went 15/7 with hybrid fizz not 27. And you had less then 3 cs a minute.

DO you have any idea how hard it would be to code this in?

The thing is, Riot does not want to pigeon hole champs into certain roles. IF I WANT TO DO TANK SORAKA, I WILL. This would ruin that! Assassins going tank is only a problem if they can still do their job as an assassin while being unkillable. If they can't kill you in 5 seconds while going tank, then there is no issue. If they can, that is a problem.

And this might fix assassins, but what about Howitzers(semi-tanky adc's like Graves and Urgot)? Battle Mages? Assassin's without a blink/dash to get in, and therefore have to build tank in order to even get within range to do their job(like Evelynn)? This would ruin them as they have to build normal tanky items to function.
