Two of those champs only have 1 dash. Maokai's requires a target and is short ranged.

Sejuani's dash is a fixed distance and slow.

Galio has one dash with a windup, and a long range ult with even more wind up.

Zac has a long range initiate with a long wind up and slow travel time.

That is not extreme mobility. Katarina blinking around from dagger to dagger is extreme mobility. Kassadin teleporting everywhere has extreme mobility. Fizz dashing and troll-polling, Ekko double dashing and time rewinding, Kha'Zix leaping with resets... These are extreme mobility.

To be fair Galio's dash is fucking huge.

Not saying his mobility is good though.

It's also telegraphed as fuck.

Yeah, but if you're, say, 600 range away and start running the moment you see it coming, it'll still hit you unless you use some form of mobility, soft or hard.

600?

Moving to the left should work then. Or I'm grossly underestimating 600 units (I suck at geography).

600 units is pretty much a little more than standard ADC auto attack range (Ashe range), if that helps.

Moving to the left should work, but Galio's E can almost rival Gragas's E for hitbox shittiness.

They should probably fix the hitboxes.

I'm not sure they have that type of tech yet my friend.

Riven was S2?

Yes, rivens been around for a minute...if i remember correctly she was shortly after jarvan

RogueWillJun 3, 20171 votes

Riven was mid season 2. It was the patch I joined so I can give faith of it. Jarvan was way earlier

How are Sejuani and Maokai more mobile? Sejuani has short dash, Maokai has short dash with root. Only Zac has long range initiating dash. Galios dash is also nothing special.

Old Gragas had more range on his Dash than both Seju and Maokai. Renektons double dash is also better than both Seju and Maokai one.

Those arent assasins dawg, jax has always been a hypercarry/fighter/duelist and brorelia a fighter/duelist riven is an AD caster/melee carry hybrid.

The still point and click and delete carries. Basically assassin secondary.

I point and click delete carries with tank cdr gragas? So is gragas an assasin too? Your definition of assasin is fucked

Im a gragas main, my friends have always referred to me as the fat usain bolt or fat man bullwt train

makkiiJun 3, 20171 votes

Uhm what? By the champs you listed im asuming you mean season 1-2, where the broad range "bruiser" class had the most high mobility champs, with adc's slowly closing in. It wasnt till s3-4 that every new assasin/carrysassin seemed to have high mobility.

SomeStarsJun 3, 20171 votes

assassins do deserve something for this. i feel assassins have no real place other then stealing last hits. and the only way you can ever really play them is if you are very skilled and still the pay-off does not weigh near to the scale of effort put in unlike someone like fizz Fizz who i understand isn't just some faceroll champ but the reason hes perma--banned is because other people have cultivated there skills with him and have been rewarded the same with how lee was op and maybe yasuo too but im not sure yet

not true at all...

Amumu Malphite Shen (just to take a few) has always had mobility in their kits...

...i don't really get why you would think mobility abilitys would only be made for assasins?, ask pretty much any adc main, most of the chars in that role couldn't work without their mobility abilitys, it's the same with tanks, this is even more prominent when anyone can just burst them down, the less effectiv tank items is the more mobility do tanks need to get close to the enemy to do what they are suppose to.
