I think this is a Cho'Gath thread.

I've given consideration to the following Anivia build in the past: item 3020 item 3027 item 3151 item 3143 item 3102 item 3135

So, one sub-par MR item, some fairly meh health items, and one of the lower-armor armor items makes a tank?

Except they don't? A mage building glass cannon would have like... item 3089 , item 3135 , item 3157 , item 3165 , item 3020 and item 3001 or item 3285 or item 3151 . Which would give them a subpar armor item with a good active and maybe some MR or health.

Items like item 3027 item 3116 item 3003 are usually build on AP bruisers like Ryze or Gragas , not glass cannon AP champs, they aren't never used, but you rarely see all the hybrid AP items on burst mages like Xerath

AD isn't any different. item 3748 item 3074 item 3071 item 3022 item 3072 item 3153 item 3156 item 3091 all give tank stats and it's just as common, if not more, to see one or more of them on assassins.

I would agree with you if this was posted last month. But the long awaited fighter rework finally brought items like item 3748 item 3053 item 3071 that allows fighters to compete with mages in itemization.

No they don't.

Annie is the only exception because her ratios are so ridiculous she can easily build a tank item or two and still deal ludicrous damage. Her E also helps immensely with this.
