Who do you think is the most balanced and healthy assassin?

Assasins get a lot of hate for being unbalanced and unhealthy, so I wanted to know which ones you guys think aren't.

Despite the majority, I actually think Fizz is balanced when hes not blatantly OP. He has to hit his skillshot ult to kill pretty much anyone and if he doesn't he's fucked.

Ahri Diana as well.

None of them. Assassins as an entire champion class are unhealthy for the game.

Zed is pretty much the benchmark for what an assassin should be.

  • His primary source of damage is a skillshot (that has reduced damage after it hits the first target.)

  • He's got mobility but it's telegraphed and on a long cooldown early.

  • His ultimate relies on him landing other attacks first and can be countered by shields, heals, stasis, or simply dodging. (bonus: His ultimate has the added bonus of being telegraphed. Not only is Zed going to go for your squishiest/most valuable target, but he always appears behind them.)

  • He's doesn't do massive amounts of AoE damage, he takes out his primary target before moving on to another.

Now obviously I'm not saying Zed is perfect, but generally speaking he has almost everything an Assassin needs in terms of both pros/cons.

I know people are going to hate me for saying this but screw it, when it comes to assassins someone will hate you for saying X assassin is fair.

My pick is Rengar

Yes everyone says how he kills you before you blink but in this meta where everyone blows each other up, does it really matter? He gives a big warning every time he ults giving you plenty of time to get ready to dash, shield, retreat to turret, heal, prepare cc. He only gets one chance and he doesn’t even get an escape. If he screws up his one chance, then he is screwed where as other champions can use their high mobility to not only dive in the enemy but also escape.

Yeah going to go with no assassin is balanced/fun to play against. I'm fine with assassins blowing people up carries at 60-70% HP and escaping.... When they start blowing up bruisers and tank jungles at full hp in one combo though... it gets anti-fun.

Kayn He has very defined weaknesses and very defined strengths. There’s never a point where he kills you while missing his entire kit like the annoying assassins.

LeeSin obviously. He has the ability to make the most plays and has the proper amount of counterplay to his kit. However, claiming that only skillshot based assassins are balanced and fair is not accurate. In melee range, skillshots are nearly impossible to dodge.

I will most likely get hate for this, but: Ekko

As long as he is not overtuned, I think his kit is actually quite fair. His W and R are probably the highest telegraphed abilities in the game.
