The league of assassins meta is only fun for assassins at the expense of all other roles.

It's literally not fun just to watch the overly mobile assassin insta-killing whoever the fuck they want as the players that didn't choose an assassin pray the enemy assassin is horrible or their assassin is better than the enemy assassin so that they get their participation win.

I DON'T FUCKING LIKE TO PLAY ASSASSINS, I DON'T WANT TO PLAY ASSASSINS, ASSASSINS AREN'T FUN TO PLAY AGAINST ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY'RE THIS GOD DAMN OVERPOWERED.

They literally don't even have any trade-offs for their mobility or damage. They're not outplaying other people, they're just taking a champion that has the tools to kill their prey while the prey is just that, prey, because Riot's neutered everyone but overly mobile assassins so much that they're literally just feeding off of anyone that doesn't play someone with 17 trillion dashes. It's stupid. Tone down the damage, tone down the mobility, and actually give these idiot assassin players something to think about and have to semi-strategize about instead of gifting them with everything while neutering everyone else so we're just lambs to the slaughter to these overly mobile idiots.

See the issue is. In almost every elo no one wants to play hyper scaling champions.. when assasins are played you play a champion that scales so you don’t bother feeding the assasin.. on top of that the early game for every assasin is the only place to strengthen up... just don’t die.. “but noo I want to play what’s op vs an assasin “ go fk ur self cus then your just begging to not do it for the team.

The league of tank meta is only fun for tanks at the expense of all other roles.

It's the issue with the class as a whole, which is why there's been attempts to balance them with weird minigames and mechanics. The issue grows because assassin players are in it to explode things in 0.5 seconds above all else which is innately unhealthy. There's no way to satisfy both sides but Riot is trying to.

I can say the same with every single other role when it's "X class meta"

You should be more mad at how powerful the jungle role is, or how conqueror has made every fighter in the game broken, or how baron being broken as hell with towers being weak as hell makes games end super fast and also makes it less enjoyable from a tactical standpoint. Assassin's are not the issue with the game, infact you rarely see them at high levels of play beside Talon. The issue is just how fast riot's made the game.

You know what’s weird assasins don’t take minion RNG.

Assassins need to be moved away from 100-0 burst. The only real requirement to be an assassin is to be able to catch and kill isolated enemies. They should actually trade some burst for their target access. It doesn't have to be an instant kill. Otherwise what is the point to immobile burst mages who actually only have 100-0 going for them? Like this is why we never see Lux in pro play anymore.

Even Lissandra, who is supposedly counter assassin , has lost her role ...
