A problem that I run into in LoL is that everyone builds tanky. Top lane is tanky dps ( champs like olaf,fiora,gankplank,irelia). Jungle is now dominated by tanks or tanky dps champs as well ( mundo,malphite,amumu,olaf,etc). Mid laners build a Rod of the ages and crystal scepter so they have a good amount of hp as well. Supports are now building tanky too, yes i know not every support does but there are alot that do now
( alistar,blizcrank,leona,taric,nunu). This is ruining the game for me because my favorite type of champ is a bursty assassin but having only one target, the adc, i find that assassin are left in the dust. Now the major issue with this is how do you fix this? This is a problem with not only the curret meta but the items in general. Any ideas would be nice I would like to see some comments and what you guys think.

What I am saying is that everyone builds tanky now and assassins are no longer viable. No a assassin should not be able to kill a TANK, but when when everyone is building TANKY assassins have no one to kill.

An ad carries role is to do stay alive and continually attack.
A tanks role is to protect the carries
A supports role is to protect the carry or sustain them
but here is where the game is fuzzy to me. A bruiser is tanky but also does crazy damage and has amazing sustain. That is my major issue because the effectively nullify assassins. They can do every thing a assassin can and more. So I ask why play a assassin?

how is it a bad thing that you *sometimes* cant ambush someone and burst them down instantly? thats a good thing

Very few mid laners build rylais, and even then, Roa + Rylais is not that big of a deal, you can still burst them down with similar levels of optimization.

Furthermore, supports build tanky, but not nearly tanky enough to avoid burst damage. Heart of Gold + Aegis of the legion isn't that much tank, you can probably take them from 100-25, with the exception of Alistar during his ult.

And if 3/5 of the enemy team builds tanky, you as an assassin are at your strongest, because you can get the AD carry, and suddenly the enemy team has almost no damage. If everyone builds damage, you take one out, and then they kill you, and they're still threatening in the teamfight.

So, yeah, get over it.

I can see what you mean, but as an assassin/bursty dps, you shouldn't be able to instakill everyone on the enemy team.

Even when going up against a tanky team, if you can't take out the adc, your burst should still be enough to burst down one of their aggressive tanks. Given that an assassin can burst down most champions, your roll will be to punish any champs that wander astray of team fights. Sure, you won't get insta-kills, but you'll punish individual champs that try to break out of a team fight to pick off your own team mates.
