Hmm... Last I checked, wasn't a mage. Doesn't look like is either. Oh, I don't recall them having in their builds--or at least not anymore. Heck, why would anyone play and not take advantage of teammates that like their enemies with with shredded armor? AD Assassin mid laners don't build so in the case in which they exist and an AD Bruiser does not, I do believe it is appropriate for  to build.

Also, it may be true that carries need a metric ton of damage, but to claim that tank stats are not in the least bit useful to them is unfounded. Ever heard of something called, ? This is what makes resistances legitimate on carries, as in the reason why they get armor and magic resistance runes. If anything, is a great item to have in tandem with some tank stats due to the nature of its shield and epic lifesteal. So no, tank stats aren't absolutely useless on carries. It is just that damage takes such a high priority; don't confuse one thing being superior than the other as the other being utterly useless. AD Assassins aren't there to peel for, they exist to obliterate enemies before they can even react.
