Anyone else miss assassins?

This tanky low kill safe meta is driving me insane... It's sad that the these games have to end with back doors because the players on each team aren't dying. When the priority of the game is "wave clear" not "kill stuff"... that is sad to me.

Assassins like Ahri , Zed , and Talon are in good places now and other assassins are making its way to the scene they are not going anywhere

Ex: Kassadin is constantly reworked constantly to make him not only easier to kill but harder to play while making him able to get kills. Which in general is not needed.

Some champions were accidentally made stronger than others and therefor will be champions that can do more. Nerfing them settles little on this. You can only do so much. Ahri has crazy harass and power; her abilities have low cool downs; and she isn't the toughest to learn. Heimerdinger is able to lay countless turrents out over and over to protect and push further in lanes; this also helps in gaining good farm. This can go on and on but each champion has ways of playing. Draven takes majority of his AD and uses it throughout the game to push lanes easily and kill champs with little effort. These are champs that majority like and play. Yet you go and get a champ that no one exactly finds too intimidating and nerfs their abilities to more fair to play.

Ex: Nidalee Sona Gragas

Its true that asking for fair games are what is needed but to decrease a champions abilities may not be what is needed. If that is true, then why on earth is Zed able to use massive amounts of power in game. Played him 1 game (for the first time a few weeks ago) and came out with more kills than deaths and we still lost due to out play in top and bot. Tell me, why is Darius able to cause massive amounts of damage, two times to use a ult that out matches many others, and have a bleeding effect that deals tremendous damage over time and yet you go ahead and nerf Udyr because he goes from one stance to another too fast so we need to add a good second interval to allow more fair fights.

Speaking of fair. Is it truly fair that Blitzcrank is a commonly chose support player (and you should know this) and that even though he is a fighter/tank people use him due to his rocket arm and stun. He literally will just sit in the bushes down bot waiting to just grab you and make you weak so that the ADC can just take you out quicker. Now tell me why Sona had to get a major nerf due to overpowered abilities and Blitzcrank wasn't.

Being bursted down in the blink of an eye isn't exactly a fun way to realize you're not going to win, and it still happens in games currently. I do not miss them because they have not gone anywhere.

well Zed's been banned all games so far, I would bet Bjergsen would pick that up if it weren't banned.

51 minute game. 17 kills(as I type this it is now 23 kills in 54 minutes so 1 kill ever 2.5 minutes)... 1 kill every 3 minutes means assassins are gone.. kha is being used more because of upgraded void spikes slow than his assassin abilities and ahri is actually doing well and had a very good destruction of orianna earlier... but thats about it... last 2 games shiphtur was on ziggs and just wave cleared and wave cleared some more.
