I find it really hard to play against magic focussed toons in off-lane. So Crux, Terra, etc against a Aurora or Shinobi. It feels off to me. The magic toon can fit physical armor while a physical power based toon must fit both as the majority of all players in the match s still physical power based and you will have problems late game. I would go so far as to think it doesn't make sense to go physical power in offlane and that this mechanism is broke. Any tips?

It’s not that difficult tbh. Unless the player is just better than you.
Aurora is a better jungler than offlane right now. If you’re really struggling try building legacy or mistmeadow buckler.
You wanna focus on getting good trades and playing to your characters advantages. Against aurora if she damages you 4x it activates her passive, then you pretty much lose if you don’t trade well.
Against shinbi try to dodge her line tempo & try building the same items. She plays out of your range a bit, so don’t let her poke you. If you need to you can build a chrysalis, or tainted bastion for more magical armor as like a 3rd item.
I see a lot of characters go into a fight and just start running away taking damage (you have to trade).
Be smart about your engagements knowing what the other character is capable of doing as well.

play defensive and hope your jungler can come gank. was aurora v.s. iggy last game. tried to keep minion waves as close to my tower and was able to win because my jungler helped me get 2 kills on iggy.
