It's a joke really is. if we take out the shitty adc mains who splitpush and get solokilled assasins are a joke in mid-late game in fights. Unless you get like 6kills in the early game you might aswell afk you are dead weight. Tanks simply dont die buying cheap ass items bruisers simply oneshot you adcs oneshot you mages oneshot you even if you manage to get a dive on an adc support give it 800hp worth of shields and then guess what? They oneshot you. I thought assasins were supposed to be the role that their sole puprose was to oneshot a squishy. now you cant even do that anymore you die before you get into your effective range in an even game. Everybody is an assasin atm in this game with how much dmg everything and everyone does. I even remade my rune pages to have pages with flat MR vs teams with strong mages doesnt matter i get hexdrinker doesnt matter i still die. Most assasins are built into bruisers JUST to be viable. Remember Master Yi? the only way for him to exist in a game is a heavy duty bruiser build and to PRAY to god your lanes wont fall even the slightest behind.Thought this game was about Variety but no it's all about Tanks/adcs and a few select mages per patch since mage viability rotates per patch.

sounds like everything does the job kha does better without even beeing an assasin. not to mention everything neshot you faster than you oneshot it. unless ofc u get the drop on them on a bush whihc isnt the champs fault then. its human error

I truly think assasins aren't bad in general. Their early to early mid game seems fine, in check with counter play for both sides.

But their late game is screwed up.

Without a doubt, there is a delay added to assasins damage, but is it really a problem? Or is the redemption, locket, face of the mountain support that gives the adc 3 health bars a problem?

The average kha'zix main has a 52-58% winrate. I don't see the problem here? http://champion.gg/champion/Khazix

Assassins are not all-powerful by any means, but they're not SO bad. I actually feel pretty comfortable with them.

The only power issue I'm having is with AP assassins and AP champions in general, since the total AP you can get gets lower and lower with every patch.

i agree. even tho the only ap i play doesnt prioritises max ap instead is a bruiser type ap talking about Diana

The problem is mostly with manaless champions, especially Katarina, cause she's meant to do high burst too. So the only 100+AP items she can build anymore are Rabadon's and Luden's, with the Rylai nerfs.

Also Vladimir has the same problem. He needs to build as much AP as everyone else, but he can't even get Luden's. His build now includes 2 bad items: protobelt, that is highly gold inefficient, and rylai's, that's much weaker stat-wise despite being pretty gold efficient.

The result is that these champions can't really get a lot of max possible AP, but they're still meant to do tons of damage somehow, despite MR being strong and AP items getting nerfed constantly.

Dude khazix was one of the strongest champions to come out of the rework. Him, rengar, and leblanc are absolute powerhouses. I've played khazix, level 7 in fact, and he is most certainly broken right now compared to old khazix. You want a weak assassin? I think the bigger candidate for buffs would be Akali then

asassins can't solo kill any adc besides jhin late game rofl. if you want a real assassin play the new champion. 1300-1500 true damage with her second part of Q lmao.
