Tank meta

I feel league as created the meta of Tanking, they have made it way to easy for Champions to counter assassin champs by making the tank champs over powered when it comes to having tank build items, and otherwise im seeing is that even once you get pen items for either ap pen or armor pen it isnt managing to do what it use to, im running into situations were i see a tank like Vi, or lee sin get merc treads and sprit visage and boom not they are invincible to ap damage for days, i get their is constant balancing but I am feeling that assassin champs are being ignored when it comes to the game play balance factor, the champions (teemo)and (kha;zix) come to my mind when i mention assassins yes they can be strong to play champions but only when things go right under certain conditions but once the enemy team see's that they have the lead they get 1 tank item and boom teemo and kha'zix get stomped.

Tanks > Assassins > Carries > Tanks

That, very simplified, is the idea behind the Champion roles.

Tanks have the durability to survive the Assassin's burst, and the CC or utility to lock them down.

Assassins have the burst to destroy Carries

Carries have the sustained damage necessary to cut down Tanks

There is obviously quite a lot of variation with a game that has 120+ Champs but that is the basic idea. So if you're an assassin, you shouldn't be worrying yourself with Tanks, you should focus on how to better assassinate the squishies.

Assassins aren't made to go for people who build tank.

Assassinate the ADC, APC, or enemy Assassin. Rely on your team to help with tanks.

and then you get killed by the enemie adc within the 3 sec of an morgana cage as fulltank renekton...(i really wish it is exagerated, but that actually happend....) THe problem is that tank gear is pretty gold efficient while dps needs to scale up, so in the midgame, especially if you are ahead, you are really hard to kill, but in the endgame you just melt like butter to the enemie carrys no matter what.
