How is it healthy to be able to one shot with two damage items and the rest tanky items?

Like Take Jax and Ire for example. They can build tri force item 3078 and then build item 3143 item 3742 item 3065 and output a lot of damage. In my opinion, you should be sacrificing damage for tankiness and vice versa. Like i dont get this concept

Jax and Irelia can one-shot if your squishy as hell, and have no lifesteal sure. But if you were someone else, say a champ who actually built a defensive item, they wouldn't be able to, especially with this build.

So, a squishy with no defensive items or lifesteal, versus the one of the best duelists in the game. I don't know what you expected.

Jax and Irelia have the damage in their kit to allow them to kill squishies very effectively with only a couple damage items, but don't shred tanks and bruisers the way an ADC, Yasuo, Master Yi, Fiora, or Tryndamere (Tryndamere team fighting lul) might in a team fight. They can still duel them and wear them down eventually, but they aren't tank-busters.

Squishies have to be wary of bruisers who build only one or two damage items. They are the squishy champion's natural predator, since they have the damage to kill them and the bulk to withstand some focus fire.

Jax and Irelia are major candidates on the list for a large scale reworking. Just wait it out.

That build scales into the dumpster past the early and honestly jax is garbage unless you have a garbage team comp cough cough kayle top. Just dont play glass cannon teams into these champs, because thats their wet dream.

As an additional note, Riot noticed some of this, and is reworking the heal+resist items to have less health, and more resist, which will translate (ideally) into less survive-ability from a single defensive item.

i really dont see why vayne is not build tanky. Vayne item 3153 item 3006 item 3046 item 3022 item 3065 item 3143 Something like, it would give her with her steriods insane dueling power tons of hp and armor/mr and also enough atk speed to proc her W multiple times and also frozen mallet would allow you to stick to and kite anyone who is not master yi. i got a pentakill playing this vayne mid into lux. i just rushed visage into botrk and pd and could tank her full combo and just ult an smash her with AA, with botrk pd a giants belt an visage i got a pentakill basically 3 vs 5 https://youtu.be/J90cuduoXIE this was in plat 2 ish ranked game.
