People always get so surprised when a certain Assassin becomes meta/broken

these same assassins that people want to protect when they aren't viable are the same assassins that become disgustingly broken when they do become viable and it's because of their lack of meaningful counterplay and ability to keep them in check. half of the assassin rosters "counterplay" is to buy a pink ward.
this is why
is the healthiest assassin in the game, no matter how strong he gets he will always have a vast variety of counterplay available.
so please keep asking for akali/kass/kha/diana etc buffs but don't complain when they kill you in less than .5 seconds with no reaction/counterplay available.
