Good point Three63. There's the seemingly never-ending battle between the unstoppable force of the cannon ball vs the immovable object of the steel plate, that has gone on for centuries.
No victor of the war, just battles where one or the other held the advantage. Certainly the first phase of Yom Kippur war was a hard lesson for the arrogant IDF tankers, indeed look no further than to the scenario Jason pointed out. Kings of the battle field no more.
They adapted, of course. ATGM operators needed to keep the target locked on their display, so move, use smoke, fire at the missile launch location. And soon, the ATGM teams were not that effective anymore.
This continues even today: reactive armor, as you mentioned, vs armor piercing ammunition with multiple arrows / ATGMs with multiple warheads ...
