I think Riot wants to surrender on the "Assassin Support" idea altogether (which included being build as a tank) and making him a full-fledged Assassin.

If they make most of the kit's utility on bAD and Lethality while hitting the elements that allowed him to play as support and/or build tanky, not only building as a tank will be unrewarding, but playing as support, build-wise, will be indistinguishable from buillding as an assassin, and as a result will be left entirely to lane performance (if it has more success as lane support or as an assassin elsewhere) and personal preference.
