If LoL Assassins Must Have Projectiles

Then design their kits around them! Don't give these champions escape mechanics.

(I'd much prefer assassins BEING projectiles tbh. Then we can talk escapes. No, Akali and Fizz are not good examples of this.)

Assassins will be unbalanced so long as their kits are not tuned around the items they build. I understand Riot's goal for them, "Oppertunistic" assassins, though it just doesn't work in this game when Assassin's can stack AD or AP for more and more damage. If Riot tuned Assassins and Burst Mages to be able to 100-0 other squishy targets, but not Tankier ones they'd be more healthy. Since at least then a Tank in the front line would be a deterrent to their power.

I strongly agree; assassins shouldn't scale too well from building damage, because then they're just carries.

I like Shaco much more than any other assassin, for example, because aside from his gimmicky AP build his damage never skyrockets, and even then he has legitimate cooldowns and needs to play around his boxes. You never see fed Shacos blatantly blowing up everyone on the enemy team like a carry would.

Marksmen really deserve more disengage, even if it's at the cost of their damage.

I'd prefer tanks/bruisers having more HP to literally everyone dying in sub-4 seconds in teamfights.
