How do you deal with multiple assassins?

I feel this is a big issue that hasn't been properly addressed by the balance team. In the past, there have been individual assassins who were a problem. Nerfs have kept them in check, but there is still the issue of a team that is using more than one. Most teams don't have more than one tank, and a tank can only CC and tank one of these assassins. It's extremely difficult to tank an entire team when everyone is doing absurd amounts of damage. On top of this, you still have the adc who isn't being CC'd when you focus the assassin. You also often have to build more than one type of armor (enemy team has Zed and Akali for instance). TLDR we need more/better ways of dealing with assassins (buff armor items).

That's just ninjas, not all assassins. And its only 1 hp flat, not per level.

If the enemy team picks multiple assassins, compensate by picking multiple tanky champions who can peel (plenty of top/jungle/support champs who can fill this role, you can have all 3 if you need it). They way I see it for the most part ADC/APC > Tank > Assassin > ADC/APC. If the enemy team takes up multiple of the same role, take up multiple of the one that beats it.
