Nerf assassins so I can watch/play more Xerath vs. Ziggs

Gut these assassins cause I want to watch/play more waveclear mage fights in the midlane.

No one wants these plays, they take no skill, it's just people abusing their OP high mobility champs.

Dade vs. xPeke Pobelter vs. Bjergsen Dandy vs. Spirit Faker vs. Easyhoon

We want this.

Commentator A: It's now 50 minutes and Xerath has 429 CS, we're waiting for the 5th Dragon to spawn. Commentator B: OH NO! ZIGGS HAS THROWN HIS ULT TO CLEAR A SIDE WAVE! WHAT A PLAY! Commentator A: Xerath is trying to poke Ziggs out, he throws out a devastating Stun. Commentator B: He misses, ah well his stun will be back up in 5 seconds. Commentator A: XERATH TRIES TO STUN HIM OVER THE WALL AGAIN! CAN HE DO IT?! Commentator B: He misses, ah well his stun will be back up in 5 seconds.

I like how his ult works but visually it looks kinda meh.

Don't retaliate against champions like Xerath, please. He's been balanced for quite a long time. The only reason he's strong now is because he can do what he does far away enough to not instantly die to champions like 1) Leblanc and especially 2) Zed.

Take Zed against Xerath and watch him squirm as he tries to conserve mana, can't keep up with your waveclear, can't do anything but cast 'barrier' when you towerdive him and walk away nonchalantly, etc.

But in the LCS, these champions are often banned out. So, for example - say LeBlanc and Zed dominate mid. But Zed is banned. You can either 1) take LeBlanc, or 2) take someone that doesn't die instantly to leblanc. Like. You know. Xerath. Or even Kassadin.

You can't just let all the broken, ruling champions be banned, then say "look, they're playing other champions now, nerf them!"
