After almost 3 months and Tank Assassins are STILL a problem?

I think we can tell that Riot really do not give a s**t about balance within the game, if they are still allowing Ekko, Fizz and Yasuo to build tank and still have ridiculous damage. This has been going on for months and EVERYONE knows how to fix this (nerf their base DAMAGE and improve their scaling) and yet Riot seem completely oblivious. They have stated that they do not want assassins building bruiser or tank items and yet they are doing nothing to punish the players currently abusing this in game.

Riot has about as much clout as a wet noodle.

These champions are not problems right now with tank builds. Their tank paths have been nerfed into utter garbage, you should really do some more research before spouting nonsense.

In the league worlds patch preview scarra and the other analyst made it sound like we still might see brusier Yasuo at worlds. It will be interesting to see if he is played. Well maybe not really tanky... buying just item 3022 doesn't really make you a tank.

I have only seen crit/damage Yasuo in solo queue since patch but its low elo so who really knows what anyone is doing Amirite?

Clout.

I'd also recommend to stop thinking you know more than you actually do. There are a couple of titanic problems with this statement especially regarding these champions.

Pretty sure Fizz is actually a result of that practice. Which made him incredibly feast.

Tank Fizz sux and Yasuo barely builds tanky anymore either. The only one that still builds kinda tanky is Ekko top with Trinity, but that has below 48% win rate. I wouldnt really call it a "problem" anymore.

literally none of those guys are problems when building tanky anymore. Sure, they still can build tank, but they won't be deleting anyone anymore

Ekko remains as an issue. He manages to maintain decent damage with Fervor of Battle and Trinity Force while providing a significant amount of CC, which lets him just build purely defensive items afterwards.

no he doesn't. tank ekko damage is absolute garbage. also trinity force isn't a tank item. unless hes some crazy 3-4 levels ahead and a lot of gold ahead. which anyone would kill you fast then. he is nothing

i think ekko is meant to build defensive items... according to riot's classification system he isn't an assassin

Assassins build bruiser because if they don't they get two shot from 500-600 range out before they can even close on a target. Blame Rito for buffing marksmen too much this season. Ain't the assassins fault
