The thing I despise about assassins is how tanky they are, can't do 2k UNLESS you go squishy

You're not building defensively against an assassin, because if you do then what happens?

You realize they've got 2000 HP that you can't damage fast enough because you made the choice of grabbing HP and Armor to try and "counter" their absurdly inflated damage from which is supposed to "fall off" lategame.

So the game becomes a coinflip of: "Can I 100-0 combo the assassin in 2 seconds before they press a single button and 100-0 me in 2 seconds?" Because if you can't instantly kill the assassin before they get to press a single ability then you're just dead to the instant follow up combo.

It's so dumb.

Don't most champions get around 2000 hp just by existing?

Don’t forget their item 3814 giving them even more health and a spellshield just to rub in how much tankier they are.

yesterday i was amumu with about 380 armor (cause enemys were full ad) and around 550 armor with aftershock.

the enemy yasuo who had statikk ie bloodthirster and dorans shield was actually healing on me while standing in my w, bamis and hitting my thornmail WHILE ALSO KILLING ME. guy literally killed me in under 5 seconds while healing on me.

lets not forget i had randuins. which is 20% less damage from his crits. which he always does. i had ninja tabis which is another 12% from his aa's and i had amumus e which is about another 20 flat damage.

and yet he killed me in under 5 seconds. and i used my q on him, so i had aftershock active. 550 fucking armor.

yup armor/tanks very usefull.

Yes item 3155 makes tanky af Assassins don't fall in late game They actually scale insanely better than you think It's just that they always team fight

I think the problem is riot doesn't view the champions in role or category they view them as individuals which is a big mistake. As sion building into sun fire, I was vsing a Jax building tri force and he had 300-400 more hp than me

this is just another buff hp thread so that your tanks can be meaningful. but no one wants to buff hp so ya'll just gonna suffer.
