The assassin rework was a complete failure

Lugg··6 votes·605 views

All of the goals Riot had for the assassin rework weren't met. 95% of the changes to address toxicity and fair play actually made the respective champs even more toxic than they already were. This rework may actually be even worse than the juggernaut reworks.

"All the goals weren't met"

  • We also want to make assassins more fair, which isn’t the same as reducing assassin damage. In some cases, that means giving you more ability to fire back. In other cases, you need to be able to see an assassin coming and try to escape them. We want the Ashe who just got styled on to think “welp, I got outplayed”, not “that was bullshit”.

They succeeded in increasing the burst windows for assassins.

To be fair, his kill window early was increased.

He still has the same mid to late game problems.

The problem is that you pretty much never make it to late game against Rengar.

Annie has no escapes and Vayne is BS.

But they didnt succeed in the Ashe part (which was mostly low elo "Ashes" anyway). So they made them more clunky and less fun to play, yet apparently its still "bullshit" when a Fizz hits ult and oneshots the 0 mr adc thats farming bot alone.

With regards to the Juggernaut comparison. I don't think they are even similar, assassin update seemed like alot of bitching but no long lasting effects
