Why do you teach new players to build armour on Ashe against Nunu?

I've gone through the introduction to League of Legends a couple times, and I think it could help new players understand item builds better if they were not first introduced to poor item builds in the introduction.

If your intro Ashe was allowed to build a BortK or IE to help her attack better, or even a Spirit Visage to make you tankier against Nunu, I think it would help new players understand what is better for an ADC like Ashe.

I didnt get that in my alt while playing Ashe, but I didnt like the game screaming at me every time I attempted a tower dive

The initial tutorial's announcer specifically mentions thornmail. They would have to use a new voice-over if they want to switch that particular section.

because it's not

The tutorial tells you "build this item"

it's not telling you "hey you see that enemy champion and your champion? yeah remember, ashe specifically counters nunu but only if you build this specific item called thornmail, so I want you to remember: always build the thornmail in this specific matchup".

except it's not. It's just telling you build this item by following the recommended item build that the shop has set up for them. And also notice how you can upgrade your items into bigger items so please for the love of god do not wait until you have like 3 thousand gold to buy things.

and most players, yeah they do that. and then they spend the next year of their league of legends gaming experience building recommended items.

which would explain why literally no one builds thornmail on ashe beyond them wanting to force the meme that they want to propagate because they are sad and lonely irl and want attention.
