Assassins Role.

IMHO i think the entire assassin role would be better if it was more AD or jungle-option focused (Not meaning take out all AP assassins in lane but give the current and future developed some jungle options too)

LB, Kat, Kass are the only current champs who would be changed for this though

Kat- could be given more AD/hybrid+physical focus which wouldn't feel weird or be hard to do since kat already has AD ratios in-kit.

Kass- could be given more bonuses when vs monsters OR changed to AD/hybrid+physical focus (Kass can still get a great amount of mana from AD anyways and he does like to AA between cast if he has to.)

LB- I have no change suggestion I could make because it would destroy her kit since LB has range, mobility, and decent CC. something which would be too much on an AD or jungler with the damage output it offers.

However, Assassins are able to curve early-mid games but AD assassins have a bonus of being able to take out objectives(More splitpushing) hence not needing to rely more on their team. The reason why I feel assassins would be better if more AD focused(in lane) or jungle focused(If AP, however not fully taking lane from them instead want AP assassins to have a jungle option) is since junglers exist to help curve games early-mid(There's other stuff junglers do this is just part of it) the entire assassin role aside from AD who can fall back on split pushing should be able to jungle.

Again the only champions who would get looked into currently are Kat, Kass, and LB who aren't played as jungle nor built into AD. Kass/Kat are simple fixes for such a thing but LB even if this idea for the assassin role went through LB might just be a unique assassin who can't jungle but doesn't use AD

Tell me your thoughts below please And the ONLY reason why i didn't include akali even though I want to is she's popular with an AD/Tank build atm, She uses hybrid scaling, AND riot already announced a rework for her.

This post seems like a giant ramble, but I can tell you that Kat, Kass, and LeBlanc aren't going anywhere (well, Kass might).

You also forgot Diana, Akali, Fizz, Echo, Elise, and Evelynn. Half of the whole game's assassins are AP based.

The assassin role is not primarily focused on split pushing. Each assassin has a pretty unique identity, with a few of them having the concept of split pushing added into their kit. You can't just say "all assassins should be focused on jungling and split pushing" because some of them do it. Most of the assassins aren't focused on split pushing.

Yea I am rambling the topic came up earlier and sounded fun xD.

And the other AP assassins have a jungle option or jungle focused now so I didn't post them.

Ik the assassin role isn't about splitpushing and each are unique I was kinda rambling and off-point alot xD. I meant that AD assassins overall can do a bit more then AP assassins since they can take turrets. So AP assassins I feel like should have an option to jungle if they chose to in order to curve the early-mid game a bit easier. Although again all of it is rambling for fun so yea xD.

Although I do still feel like AD assassins are better off than mage assassins because most of the mage assassins have weaker turret taking (Although only reason why I feel that mage junglers are safer than let's say LB/Kat/Kass are since they're jungle there's a mid lane to compensate their weaknesses/fall-off point if that makes any sense)

Meh but again I am rambling and I'm kinda where I want to talk about but can't express it well.

And the ONLY reason why i didn't include akali even though I want to is she's popular with an AD/Tank build atm, She uses hybrid scaling, AND riot already announced a rework for her.
