I am beyond Sick of Assassins and their kits.

Take fizz's E for example.

Playful/Trickster: Breaks all targeting except tethers. Can dodge abilities Is a 2 part dash Also has a 60% slow if he doesn't use the second part 270 magic damage at max rank with a .7 percent scaling Can jump over terrain

Thats just his E.

Thats not even counting his other abilities which also scale absurdly high all with AP and some with AD and not considering the 20 percent damage increase from his ult.

Take Zed as another example

Passive percent magic damage health shred on passive. 100 percent ad scaling shuriken which has reduced scaling on multiple Shuriken hits with the possibility of hitting 3 times. Creates a shadow which allows Zed to throw out secondary projectiles or have 2 slows that stack and dash to it. Also gives him 25% bonus AD at max rank. AOE Slow with the possibility of a 60 percent slow and has a .8 percent scaling.

Now lets look at his ult.

Dodges abilities and breaks targeting. 100 percent AD scaling Delayed Secondary activation which increases with damage based on how much damage Zed did while the death mark was activated Can be dashed too at any range allowing Zed to do as much damage as he wants and then retreat to complete safety. Allows for a second shadow allowing Zed to have 3 shurikens total or 3 AOE slows with a max of 60% percent slow.

Thats just 2 examples

Fizz's E is almost as good as Zeds entire kit and Zeds kit is highly abusive in allowing him to completely bully his enemies with no chance of retaliation with his incredibly high scalings and base damage and CC combined with his execute style passive and his delayed burst damage/dash ultimate.

You could literally remove the slows from Zed and reduce all of his abilities base damages and keep his high scaling and his Kit would STILL be incredibly good.

You could remove the slow and invul and target breaking and reduce the base damages all across the board on Fizz and HIS KIT WOULD STILL BE RETARDEDLY POWERFUL

Hell you could remove the slow from Fizz's Ultimate and the 20 percent increased magic damage on his ult AND HE WOULD STILL PROBABLY WRECK FACE

When i think of an Assassin in league of legends i think of an early game high damage squishy murderer who falls off late game or becomes useless if they can't get kills. Instead in League of Legends Assassin means High Damage, High scaling, Hyper mobility, Hyper Burst champions who snowball into late game and also bring some decently powerful CC.

You know how many slows Fizz has?

2

One 60 percent slow and one 70 percent slow.

Know how many slows Zed has?

1

Know how many slows he can potentially have?

2

A 40 percent or a 60 percent slow depending on if Zed overlaps his slows.

I'm sorry but Assassins in their current incarnation need to go there is no balancing them without completely gutting them to the point where Assassins will die off. I remember old Leblanc where no one thought she was a problem because she fell off incredibly hard late game almost to the point where she was considered as a waste of a spot. The only way to get past that was to do well and constantly gank other lanes to help achieve that early game kill power spike. Yeah it sucked that Leblanc sucked late game but you know what it was balanced around the fact that she was an insanely high damage early game burster and her level 6 was to be feared in all lanes.

Now we have Assassins that have no such weakness.
