Community crying about BE, Runes, now on AD Assassins?

Wukong Airlines··8 votes·574 views

since the release of Preseason patch, I climbed 6 levels, and gained around 8k-9k BE. The BE system is a total win for everyone, putting aside the fact that you dont have to buy anymore runes, you can now save to get your champions only, and please, don't give me those calculations on how long it takes to get all champs, you NEVER had them all to begin with, now you just wanna use that as an excuse to make the system look like failure?

and is it becoming a trend to cry about AD assassins now? just because your AP assassin is poorly designed/reworked, doesn't mean you HAVE to blame the AD assassins for doing their JOB Kayn Talon Zed .

Have you stopped for a sec and thought about it the fact that you're squishy that could be easily burst down? have you seen one of the latter AD assassins 1shot a tank? You wanna QQ about AP assassins , do it in a different thread and pointout why and how to fix them, just DONT try to bring any champs of equal class and compare that to them and try to TRASH them to balance the equation!

My frustration with AD assassins has been the same for years. And that complaint is how bloody obnoxious it is to have a Zed miss his entire combo and still kill you from 75% HP with two basic attacks and Ignite.

nullfying orb + item 3155 means any ap assassin that is going even with a ad assassin will flat out lose or will have a much harder time, ap assassins lack any ad counterbuild options say item 3157 (expensive as fuck) and no defensive runes like a ad nullfying orb (honestly why can't this give a adaptive shield instead).

ex1.) i was playing Talon vs Katarina and even though she was outplaying me, item 3155 + null made it so i could flat out kill her with little reprecussion, she ult on top of me when i have half health? well nullhex allowed me enough time to burst her back despite staying in her ult much longer then i should be able.

ex2.) me Talon and Akali are going even, she q+r and all ins me but her burst is to slow to actually activate hex drinker, i live with small amount of hp because nullyfing orb absorbed a q+auto that would of otherwise killed me.

i didn't win either of those fights with skill, i won because i had a 1300 gold item and a minor rune.

people are more complaining about how biased itemization is for AD champions, especially assassins vs their AP counterparts

item 2419 item 3157 vs item 3155 item 3156 item 3140 item 3139 item 3814 item 2420 (builds from GA) item 3026

you see the issue here right?

  • item 3155 is good but it delays your build because it is the component of item 3156 which is not a very good final item
  • Almost no assassin is going to build item 3139
  • Maybe a item 3140 if your under a serious CC threat, but again, it will delay your build
  • item 3814 active can not be used defensively and does not provide MR. If you want to count the health then you have to add the plethora of AP item with HP to the list.
  • item 3026 does not provide any MR. It does protect you, but so does item 3102 which is handy against an assassins burst combo.

I'm not saying hex isn't too strong for a component item or that AP items feel bad (especially on AP assassins) or that there shouldn't be another AP armor option, but ADs do not have a ton of options to deal with AP champs. It would be cool if orb could change its damage blocking type.

If you follow the chain of complaints back far enough you'll see just about everything being overpowered or underpowered or even sometimes both at the same time. Go back even further and things will turn strangely positive, namely because that's when the Boards first came around. All the negativity was over on the original forum, which has a chain of complaints going back to the very start of League.

Just take the complaints with a grain of salt and let your own game experiences, and the experiences of those posters who offer a well explained point of view, guide your opinions.

assassin - closes the distance, finishes off a low hp target, gets out.

league "assassins" - 100-0, took your tower/inhib because there was no way you could fight them. or you're already dead trying.

assassins suffer from being extremely potent to being shut down and irrelevant, or take off against an enemy carry, but they outright lose to all tanks or front liners.

if you first pick katarina the whole enemy team is going to look like this Maokai top Zac jungle Lissandra mid, Corki bot, and Janna sup and you'll be kicking yourself in the shin with nothing left to kill or pick off at all. you just lose lane and game on the spot because of champion choice. (unless you get carried by your team who relentlessly outplays the enemy team)

the reverse is also true, you're last pick katarina, you get to thrash all over this enemy teamAatrox KaynVeigar Caitlyn Bard knowing they're either too slow to counter you or you've already killed them.
