If the meta is shifting towards tanks then why are people still complaining?
It's already becoming apparent that sustained damage is more useful then burst for teamfights.

are not going to burst your 4000HP/200MR jungler or your 3500HP/200MR top laner.
Mobility isn't as useful if they can't get past your tankline who should have some CC or your support who can sit on your dick.
Jin Kazama4 votesBecause the team isn't made entirely of tanks.
Also, the meta is mixing tanks and burst, which is why Lucian, Graves, Viktor, Vladimir etc. are rising.

That's... kind of the point. The assassin/nuker with mobility is supposed to destroy the adc, who's usually protected during a teamfight. If they could 100-0 burst the tank when they're even, there would be a balancing issue.
In a teamfight, this typically happens:
Tank applies aoe damage and/or cc, forcing the enemy team to either 1.) engage and deal with the threat or 2.) peel and disengage from the fight. The adc autoattacks the nearest target that's safe, typically the enemy tank and/or frontline using items such as Botrk or LW The assassin/nuker uses their mobility to destroy the adc The support protects the adc primarily and the team secondary, applying cc on troublesome targets or sustaining the team The fifth role does whatever they need to, depending on the team comp. Sometimes doesn't participate in teamfights to secure an objective.
goldensilver091 votesAs an adc player, is a lot more fun to play vs YONS OF CC than instadamage. I fight vs a Sejuani in a 1vs1 a Ashe. Any of us can win and is about skill.
But if i fight a Zed or a Talon or any assasin: lol i just made you blow up. 0 oportunitis to do ssomething, the assasin shit popped all over the adc.
It's just antufun to play vs assasins, and people complain about that, and i'm happy, hope that assasins don't show up for a season or two.
LONG LIVE TO THE TANK ERA.
DanofDemacia1 votesBecause the laning phase exist :p junglers have other things to do than babysit mages and adcs.
Erockandroll1 votesAssassins are still good. You just need to focus on few squishies you have left. You could argue that that kill potential is even more important when you have fewer damage threats on you/enemy team.
The trick is getting around the front line, which is easy to do with a flank. And getting positional advantages like this requires vision.

Aaravos1 votesAssasins can work together with tanks very well.
