One simple question for Riot: Assassin's and Marksmen's interaction (after assassin's rework)

Since you are reworking all the best assassins from the game because they are to "forgiving" and can kill a squishy in short period of time with half effort and "half" of their kits, have you thought about their interaction with marksmans such are Vayne, Lucian, Tristana, Caitlyn, etc.?

Let me mention, I am assassin jungle main and marksman main so there's no bias, I like them both but how do you think that Rengar who is going do deal his damage in longer peropd of time be able to kill Vayne whos gonna stealth, tumble, condemn and literally 3 shoot him? You mentioned that you are reworking assassins so they need MORE SKILL and more THINKING of when and how to engage on someone while adc can still dash out of Rengar's/Kha'Zix's leap, crit for 800-1000, lifesteal out of that insane crit like there's no tomorrow and literally 3 shoot a squishy assassin? Or you are planning to remove assassin as a rome and turn them into divers or assassin like Fighters like Diana, Elise, Evelyn, Lee Sin, etc?

It is a simple question. As an assassin, why should I be forced to execute my combo PERFECTLY and calculate EVERYTHING the best I can in order to kill someone who can dash away from me and right click me to the death with close to no effort considering that both, Rengar, Kha'Zix and Talon are melee assassins. NOT.....NOT to mention that Yoummu's is still viable for ranged champions so there goes MS buff into account.

Because, as an assassin, there is literally nothing else to your gameplay?

Well, everyone has their main type of champions. I guess you also have something you pref over anything else.

My point is, executing a combo most of the time is literally everything an assassin does, so it's only natural to expect assassin player to execute it perfectly before they get any reward for that.

Otherways we get champions whose gameplay is less sophisticated than Garens.

You can't compare Zed Rengar Khazix Ekko with anything so binary as Garen tho. I understand your point but if assassins are gonna be most skill demanding champions in league (I agree they should) why are their primary targets (aka ADC's) so forgiving?

As I said, my second role is ADC and I usually play Lucian or Vayne , sometimes Caitlyn and I know how forgiving ADC is this season. Literally all you have to care about is your position and that's even questionable since noone cares about position untill Diamond (I was Platinum3 so I am talking from that point of view). You can check out my last game which was fairly short, I tested new build on Vayne and ye, I was able to 3 shoot Nidalee from the distance without my ultimate so I didn't even use anything but right click and Q to close the distance. Gosh I remember the game when enemy Caitlyn chunked me down to 70% HP with a single head shoot and I was Khazix.

I am not saying that Rengar should 100>0 anyone in 0.05 but neither ADC's should be able to deal that much damage in short period of time nor they should be able to life steal out of lucky crit and heal up to 30% HP with a single lucky crit mid/late game.

That's what I am talking about, if Assassins are supposed to do the math before engaging, ADC should be what they are supposed to be, a Sustain Long Range Damage Dealers, not long range 3 shoot Assassins.

They are killing the assasains with this rework.They are becoming fighters with less defence.
