Can we make armor actually work again?

This is insane, if you have less than 300 armor now its basically the same as having zero.

after buying a starting item longsword and refillable ( or 3 pots) you can get a serrated dirk with just 700 gold. Combined with runes thats almost 25 armor shredded off, at as early as 5 minutes into the game.

okay okay okay, that's fine, you can just farm for a while and play safe (provided you don't get instant bursted under your turret from 100% because OH THEY CAN DO THAT) And just stack up enough armor to counter their pen. except with full build they negate upwards of 150 armor -.-

Okay okay okay, that's fine. you just have to build enough burst to out burst them when you cc them....... oh whats that? those, those same items that are giving them all this pen also have tank stats.... oh. that doesn't work then.

okay, so you just need to cc them in the middle of your team and team fuck them down. oh, they, they have low cd escapes and can break cc with qss, okay never mind then.

Okay lets take the opposite rout and just avoid them, we can out push them and take their turrets while avoiding this person (not counter play btw) oh, they uh, they are hyper mobile and can get from top to bot in 20 seconds.....

Okay, so we just have to peel the adc enough for them to shred this pseudo tank down. oh, they uh, they get so much mobility that doesn't work anymore.

Okay so we just have to not ever fight them and run away from them. and youmuu's is a thing.

Vision is your friend :D, and then duskblade comes in

okay, just a high priority hard cc like a lissandra ult. edge of night so one of you dies no matter what.

OKAY, so you pick Rammus, Malphite, Nautilus, Taric and Alistar. You build all armor items. You are all cresting 450 armor, and a decent amount of hp, you have sunfire, ibg for some damage. Oh wait....... black cleaver and lord dominics shred 59% of your armor off, putting you at 265, which gets reduced by close to 70 after runes and lethality so 195. VICTORY, they didnt instant burst you. buuuuuuuut they still do more damage than you can possibly do to them because they get all this ad on their auto's as well, and they get resistances as well.

There's no winning against the ad assassins right now, they get more utility than supports, the most mobility in the game, and the most damage in the game, and they get tanky.

Solution time :D

Make them all work like the only two balanced ad assassins in the game. Kha'zix and shadow kayn

Kha'zix can only rip your butt cheeks apart if you are alone, kayn is super weak at at least one point in the game, and has no escapes.

Both can be played around, and both are easily punishable if they fuck up, unlike all the other ad assassins right now.

Or make armor a worthwhile stat again. remove all this free lethality from runes, and take it off of serrated dirk. Maybe take some of the shred off of cleaver and lord dominik's

Anyone remember when full ad camille was using her q for over 1.5k true damage? and that shit got toned down almost immedietly, or hell, how about when jinx w was allowed to crit on the pbe? both of those things got nuked out of existance because they were "too overtuned". the assassins are doing the same freaking thing with even less counterplay.
