Why are assassin players so arrogant?

People who play Katarina, Leblanc, Ekko and Zed are perhaps the most arrogant players in this game. I just do not see why they think they are so amazing good at this game, when their character consists of 1-2 button combos with either no mana, low mana costs or no cooldowns on abilities.

Playing anything else at the moment but pure damage dealers like this is basically like playing with one hand tied behind your back. Damage is completely over the top at the moment and it shows in how many people get false delusions of grandeur just for playing these ridiculously simple combo based champions.

(Before you downvote... please consider this... assassins have the highest damage numbers in the game but ALSO the best mobility as well. I have always believed this is massively unfair because playing any other class, you must be willing to die during a teamfight but most assassins get a free "get out of danger free" card, like Ekko's ultimate for absolutely NO REASON.)

Can people give me a reason for what assassins deserve to be the ONLY class in the game that can easily escape from a bad teamfight? Why do they also get the best damage numbers in the game by a mile on top of that. Riot, pick one or the other but don't give them both!

I think you have the question backward. It's not why are assassin players arrogant, its why are arrogant players attracted to assassins?

It's a bad question to begin with, because there are arrogant people in every role, but as stated elsewhere arrogant people tend to play flashy champions who get a fair amount of attention.

Because Big plays. Yes, they can make them, but holy hell I have yet to see someone in silver who mains assassins play like anywhere near the ability you should have before you start stroking your own d**k

Except playing assassins takes a lot of skill? The only reason why people think they don't take skill is because they get fed off players who have no clue how to play against an assassin and are just bad.

Also, like redniwediS said, your question is backwards. Flashy champions like assassins or Riven or Yasuo or the like attract players who think they're good for just using their abilities, instead of actually doing good with said abilities. This is because the abilities themselves are flashy (Riven having lots of spinning/slashing/fancy movements/etc, but she's also one of the hardest champions in the game to actually play well).

Also stop exaggerating about assassins. It might help you stop crying.

Mechanicz and burst. It's when they gloat about bursting immobile squishies with nothing beyond flash to protect themselves that it gets annoying :P

Every champion has mechanics so its nothing new. You always see assassins gloating about how they can "rekt" somebody but they will, when they have simply better damage at level one then every other mage or support class in the game.
