I don't agree. Most idiots who go mid just build their regualr build thats good to make if you're unkillable but in most cases even when fed the build you want is bad.

I did my first game arhi against a leblanc i knew i would get raped. I farmed and farmed died twice and shit. as soon as i had abyssal septer she couldn't 2 shot me with her ult and Q then i all in'd her about 3 times and won the lane. building tanky will let you fight longer so instead of running from champions with tons of burst you can sustain fight them. try not running away at near death and fighting and you might find that their cooldowns are longed than you'res which makes you win the fight. champions who counter champions win without items but once you itemize you can tank the burst and win
