The solution to Champs going tank when they shoulnt

So in this season six we find so fair a lot of champs have building tanks when they should mainly these twoEkko &Fizz and many others. Now this wouldn't be a problem if they actually didn't do damage. It is flat out disgusting to be playing Vayne and be one shot by a Fizz who has 75 ap. Granted the Fizz was fed but so was vayne. The fact that a champion that is Titled to be an assassin Even has the option of going tank and out damaging an ADC just shouldn't be a thing. Riot has made many attempts to stop this with past nerfs to MasterYi Fiora Ekko but In the process they made the normal build stronger which to me is taking a step back from the actual problem. My solution to this is the nerfing of tank items. Most tank items these days are overloaded with side enhancements and abilities item 3025 take Iceborn Guantlet for example. This item is the pinnacle of being overloaded adding tank stats on top of the sheen area effect slow. It even adds Ten percent cdr and 200 mana Further supporting it on mage assassin like Ekko &Fizz .For other tank items That are not disgustingly over loaded Riot can just lower the tank stats given out or just nerf the abilities on the item. If anyone else that has a problem with tank assassin's and has a better solution than me PLZ Share it

any way have fun on the rift fellow summoners

I think for the IBG they should have an armor minimum in order to get the slowing part of the spellblade, like they did for warmogs. But if they nerfed the tank stats, that would nerf all the intended tanks as well, and that would be horrible, because most tanks have sub-par alternat builds, while Fizz and Ekko have their intended roll to fall back on.

Yes I recently just thought about how actual tanks would be affected by this change as well but you have keep in mind what validates as a tank is usually good growth stats and abilities that work with the tank play style. IDK the tank assassin problem is a problem but it is also really difficult to solve without affecting something else in the process

it almost as if Ekko's kit was never good for an assassin due to lacking reliable burst but the kit is amazing for an engage tank, so people are building him... like an engage tank...
