assassins are bad

gun20··3 votes·1,440 views

we can't one shot adc anymore riot take all things from us now a taliyha or xerath can better one shot people even they are not a assassins i tryed hard with rengar and kha but it doesn't work, adc build a GA or the stopwatch and live then kill you that doesn't consider the sups. this happened after patch 8.6 duskblade nerf and patch 8.24 dark harvest changes that make it good for mages again cuz as a assassins we have 2 s to kill adc or die and all damage we do is going to make her below half then sup come with huge shield we don't have anything else and we die but mages like xerath have so many time to do the damage so it make it good for them and the last one that give us final hit to die was patch 9.3 that take our last hope stormrazor from us so now we don't have anything at all so if u look assassins players they all build black cleaver and death dance like bruisers cuz lethality item are very bad and you can't one shot anymore so it is useless if this continue all assassins going to die and mages are going to repalce them with better items better damage and better team fight. #assassinsaredead

you never played a assassins so it is a joke for you . yeah you are happy playing xerath and vel'koz with only 600 cost stopwatch or free one from runes and so many op items like Luden's Echo and deathcap why you should care about assassins :(

False. Sure you can say that i dont play assassins which is true (since i dont like making others feel miserable, a game is a place where everyone should have fun) but saying that i have never played assassins is false as fuck.

yeah you are happy playing xerath and vel'koz with only 600 cost stopwatch or free one from runes

Stopwatch has both a cost, requires activation (as might be incapable of activating) and its one time use. The rune one, while it costs 0 gold, in addition to the usual aftermentioned stuff, you also sacrifise a potential strong rune (like biscuits or the free boots), so it has a drawback at choosing it. ALSO, stasis like effects are the only true counter that mages like vel and xerath have against assassins. They cant outrun them. Their peel cc is weak (both of their cc is less than a second although xerath scales with distance but at melee range its 0.5) and can also reduced by tenacity. They cant outburst them and they sure as fuck cant tank their burst.

so many op items like Luden's Echo and deathcap

Op? Based on what? On pure stats? Because if you are thinking about their stats, allow me to introduce you these item 3147 item 3142 item 3146 item 3100 . Every class has core items. Mages have Echo and Dcap, assassins have duskblade and youmous/gunblade and lichbane.

why you should care about assassins :(

As much as i hate them i do care about them. Although i would prefer if they werent so one sided.

first xerath and vel already have big counter againts assassins without those items let pro players play kha vs xerath and see who win and second duskblade is sucks after patch 8.6 it is most useless item in game and ghostblade is only good for movement nothing more and the others item are not even a assassins item. here i don't talk about ap one becasue i don't even consider them bad they are good the ad one is suck here

Any champ has counters. As assassin your CDs are quite low. Sure a Zhonya can save your target, but it has bigger CD, than your ult, and most Assassin has escape mechanic after combo.

Playing against good support can be problematic, but there is a secret. Don't initiate the teamfight. Assassins are not frontliners. Once Lulu used up her CD to buff the ADC you are free to destroy it.

If there is a Soraka in enemy team, then focus her. No excuses. If she is present, then she must die FIRST.

problem is team is so dumb they never go first they just wait they destroy us or going alone to die. all games i should be the one go do something but now even that is impossible cuz if i jump i will die instantly and their adc still live and win the game. assassins point is kill adc to make your team win game or push dumb team to come fight but now i can't kill adc and no one go first how i should do something as a assassin :(

The support's job is often to protect the ADC against the assassins. As assassin you have 2 jobs. If you go 1v5, then entire team will protect that ADC.

  1. In teamfight kill important target, but don't go in first as you unlikely to oneshot a good player.

  2. Catch out solo guys. If an enemy squishy guy goes solo, then it's free kill for you. Go get it.

Also would it be better the opposite? Let's buff up the assassins so they can oneshot any non-tank enemy. Even if it's protected by support. It would practically erase the ADC as role.

my point is assassins don't have the damage ok they need a item for that we have it in past like old duskblade and stormrazor but they delete it so i just want a item here not a buff here and if adc dies it is her punish for only building crit and sup didn't protect her

assassins are the champs that clean up not the champs that initiate

unless you are fed over your mind you should never be the one to go in first

What a meme of a post.

This coming from a guy who mains shadow assassin kayn.

gun201 votes

coming from some one who played so many kayn games looks like shadow kayn crashed you a lot and you are sad about it but remember kayn need to transform and get item to do that and it is not like in ranked games they let you to be feed so if you guys feed him that is normal to get one shotted
