Lets see what we see in every game

Elise Fizz MasterYi Rengar Zed Yasuo

Man poor assasins i feel like we should add more assasins items and more assasins masteries and more assasins runes

Because zed cant just win the lane with just item 3156 At the moment he need new items and masteries too

"But he got nerfed in PBE" 5%? really? you know what nerf on assasin really mean? wanna know?

Evelynn - 20% MAX HP to CURRENT HP

Wanna know more?

-20% damage from her primary damage skill

This is what nerfs mean!! 5% from a BS ulti that it would become 150% stronger with the new item its called buff not nerf

no shit. lets see what else we have every game

jungle Graves Quinn Kindred

mid lane Ezreal the occational Varus soon Jhin

top lane Graves

and the rest on bot lane.

adc are op enough that we see two of them in half the teamcomps right now. assassins are adc hardest counters. if something is op, then usually its hard counter becomes op aswell.

Or consistent semi-reliable CC... Chogath Seriously I destroyed a Yasuo Mid as mid mage cho'gath... I kinda felt sorry for him. But then that moment passed.

Her passive is cancer. Specially due to no more pink upgrade. So let her stay gutted until she's reworked.

Only one thats winning in my elo is rengar and yi, Yi only by luck if my team mess up early and rengar cause hes dumb, hes broken everywhere. Elise is strong not OP, Yasuo are almost all bad if the mid laner knows what hes doing, zed is easy to counter . Yes assassins are weak and I play top/adc and I know

Yi is broken if your team dont have strong CC if you dont have like 2 stuns he is broken because he dosent even go for glass cannon any more but btrk/devourer/ and then tank or titanic hydra and then tank so yeah he is broken

ELISE IS OP IN EVERY ELO and everyone agree with that lol

And rengar is pure BS

Elise is strong, imo not op.. just dodge her sht and dont feed her early and shes like almost useless just a tank stun bot or squishy mediocre mage.

And rengar, yup.. urghh so annoying I cry everytime he is let through banning phase

Assassins aren't weak at all right now, at least not the ones that have been favored by the item overhaul. The ones that are dominating do what they do well, but even then I wouldn't say they are OP, just that their design no longer fits League. Their design paradigm is dated when put in the context of League's current state. 100-0 combo killers are not OP, but rather are broken design-wise. Looking at Riot's recent philosophy of counterplay and interesting player interaction, this design just denies both to the player playing as the assassin and the player playing against him. It just makes the assassin's gameplay binary, punishing the assassin if he fails to kill or snowball, and condensing decision-making time for the other player, which reduces the amount of interesting interactions both players can have. This makes it into a kill/escape or die scenario for both players (which happens in a matter of about 2 seconds). Assassins should be creative killers, not instagib combo bots.
