Lethality counter tanks early game, Armor pen counters tanks late game

I was watching one of Imaqtipie video and I saw a malphite losing to Talon, late game the malphite still dies to caitlyn. I don't see how a Tank can do well against that.

In which part do I see malphite tanking anything!? Isn't he suppose to counter AD? isn't he suppose to be a anti AD champion.

Armor hard counters lethality lol. A single item 1031 straight up counters 40 Lethality. Tanks are extremely strong against it. The issue is in the end game where people stack different types of % Penetration on top of Lethality

It's been a while since tanks could tank any AD. their best shot is to kill them first

When you have this, you have an issue with gameplay.

This is why we have this crapshoot of everyone dealing damage...

We also cant even do things like defend lane with zzrot now.

How does lethality counter tanks in any stage of the game?

item 3134 cost 1100 = 10 lethality

item 1031 cost 800 = 40 armor

A chain vest can negate 2 full lethality items (15x2 = 30) + a dirk (10) for measly 800 gold.

Not even saying the lethality builds are very squishy and have no lifesteal, so if they cant instantly burst their target they will lose the fight/trade, and they wont burst tanks unless you're playing in bronze 5 and your malphite is actually rushing a deathcap.

Late game ADCs actually counter tanks.
