Riot decided taht she should be stupidly tanky by nature presumably so that you can build her without defensive stats in mind. She has really high armor per level, the passive and the ult makes her invulnerable to 4 people. It's quite silly how tanky she gets without items and it's weird that other assassins don't have natural tankiness. The only other champ labeled assassin by riot to have it is Kassadin who gets damage reduction only for magic damage and it's more of an anti-mage thing than a tiny yordle tank without items thing.
