@Meddler Any Big assassin Update planned

could really use some love!

: way to hard countered by Pinks. feels like her W and E are useless filler. they dont feel impactful at all and i dont want to see the E+ Q combo come back. i think its time to give her some new skills or rework these skills

way to feast or famine and can be very stressful to play against. She is also the only AP melee fighter thats given zero tools to actually go head to head in melee. (kassidin has a empowered rightclick taht does hefty damage ,a shield and a non target oriented mobility tool on a short CD, Akali has tons of Damage ,stealth and lots of spell and lifesteal, Ekko has W and his Ult rewind for a quick heal not to mention his passive which does %hp damage and becomes more lethal the lower you get,Nidalee has cougar form to deal tons of damage and can quickly dispatch squishy people, Fizz has tons of damage on W and trollpole he also has a unrespected amount of mobility through Q and E, Diana has TWO shields and the VERY powerful cleave per 3 autos.Elise has a execute and Skittering Frenzy.)

Katarina is boasted as a agile fighter who potent at melee but christ she is absolutely horrid at it. the damage on her ult seems way to high and while her Q+W feel very cohesive and nice It feels like she could have something a bit better

I recommend changing up her base stats and giving her more tools to survive in melee. ever notice how in EVERY SINGLE cinematic she is in she is dodging attacks? yeah do that please :).

for instance what If E'ing against a target marked by Q triggered a special animation where Katarina attacks them During her Shunpo animation and consumes the mark to significantly Reduce the cooldown of E this way people would not need to rely on W for triggering marks and W could be something else like: Killer Reflexes- Katarina bluffs a relaxed state for 1.5 seconds then counter attacks the first single target ability or Auto attack made against her striking back for (260(80% AP) (100% total AD)) physical damage.

its not that Talon is weak or anything as a matter of fact he is in a pretty good spot. There's a handful of Talon mains and he sees consistent play in high elo hell we even have SSW Talon as a testament to that. the only problem is Talon is by far the most stressful assassin in LoL. he has about the same reaction time that Rengar gives and it feels very unfair to play against him. the Range he can cover in a instant with flash and E is Disgusting often leaves players with a bad taste in thier mouth "Oh.. even though I was under tower he just flash+E 100-0'd me before my 50 calibur net even got done casting :/".

I really don't want to see much on his kit changed but his damage should feel more spread out (I personally always thought Talon should operate somewhat similar to Taka from Vainglory where he Excels and hit and run strikes quickly culling one person from the back line then stealthing and making a run for it until he can find another opening).

Id personally recommend looking at his Passive and E as they feel like the weakest links on his kit. maybe make shadow assualt more spammable for utility but significantly reducing the damage it deals (people doubletap it to burst mostly anyway instead of repositioning) and replace his passive with a auto crit or bonus damage when attacking someone from a unseen angle (like kha'zix passive but with a much shorter frame of oppurtunity)

Where do I even begin? this guy is the Skarner of Assassins he either dominates or under performs. His niche is the cleanup assassin that Jungles but the problem is there are much better picks (Rengar) and his kit cant feel too good without being OP.You guys over at Riot have tried just about everything to try to make get him in a good spot but it never seems to work. I would recommend looking into the whole Evolve gimmick again(For instance what if Evolving Claws gave Kha'Zix "adaptive" damage which meant if his target had more Armor than MR Kha6's autos and Q's would deal MAGIC damage instead of Physical!) and reevaluating his passive because it feels like thats kha'zixs whole playstyle should be based around but in truth the passive is the least impactful item on Kha6's kit and its simply much better to just bide your time until you can E in execute E out)

Shaco doesnt need his kit changes just please for the love of god switch around his Ratios.

AP is the most fun but AD is how your shoehorned into playing if you want teamfight presence. please look into making him either dedicated AP or dedicated AD. seriously Shaco is super fun but having to run around a fight waiting on E CD feels so bad.Its feels like the character is split. You either get to have fun or you get to be effective. you dont get both.

this guy is just bad Reksai now. Id look into giving him a new W and making his E more impactful. Nocs base stats are so awful a simple sneeze will kill him in a teamfight if you go full AD for assassin. so he runs into a Dilemma

either build bruiser and be a subpar bruiser (why would you want Noc over someone like Vi who does divebombing the carry better or Rek'sai who does map presence better BOTH of which have much better tank stats AND damage) Or build assassin and die nonstop generally fall off hard and be all-round useless

Anyway thats my stance on the the current situation of these champs. feel free to discuss below and try to leave a upvote or two so Meddler or someone else can see it (even if you dont agree with it It should be brought to thier attention)
