Who's the most balanced assassin?

I feel Talon is the best Assassin.

His only escape is his Ult which is also his biggest damage ability. He is the perfect assassin in my opinion. He goes all in and either gets a kill or will die. Rengar is technically the same thing but due to how frontloaded his kit is, he will nearly always no matter how bad you are with him get a kill before dying.

I truly respect Talon players since unlike most other assassins, he has mana and no easy escape. Katarina, LB, Zed all have the power of an assassin but escapes that are basically get out of jail free cards if they mess up as well as either resourceless, energy which is basically the same thing, or low mana cost(Never really seen a LB go OOM). Not saying any of them are OP but it is kinda amusing that if I hear buffs for Zed and LB when they don't need them, hell if anyone does, Talon does and he is in a good spot I feel.

I mean idk about anyone else, but if you were here last season, maybe like 3-6 months ago when Zed and LB ruled mid, you can tell how broken they get if they get buffed. Riot better be careful with these buffs since we don't need that again. Its one thing to be strong, Brand and Malz are strong but you can still beat them if you are playing someone you are skillful with, LB jumping on your face and back again in a fraction of a second is another story though.

Zed.

Downvote all you want haters, this is the truth and your bias can't let you see it.

katarina imo. she isn't good anymore lol

. Hasn't been getting any balance changes and no one ever seems to complain about him.

The problem with this question is what is balance on a group of champions whose whole goal is to 100-0 a champion faster than their team can react and get away. Is it balanced when they can do that? Is it balanced when they can't?

Diana is in no way healthy, her burst is jsut as fast if not faster than rengar and talon's. She forgos stealth, however, for her massive shield and her ability to build zhonyas hourglass.

Seriously, I would rather face a squishy rengar than diana who has that massive shield and hourglass. Not to mention her DPS isn't all that bad considering she gets attack speed from her passive, the third hit does insane damage, and she builds nashors.

Healthiest assassin would probably have to be zed, simply because zhonyas and mercurial will always save you unless he's massively fed (in which case you deserve to lose), or if you mispositioned (in which case even a syndra could kill you).

Diana isn't balanced. She has always been cancer like akali was pre-nerf and currently since they basically have the same kit while actually being tanky.

Shaco.

As for AP assassins, LeBlanc is in a really good state right now. Maybe they could tone her damage down just a little bit because of Thunderlord's, but that's it.

Zed is probably the most balanced. Even fed Zed can be easily countered by / (ofc unless he is 20/0 at 20 min and oneshots you with WQ-AA, but so is every other champion in the game). It is also easy to hit him with skillshots once he uses his ultimate(either throw them at your ally when he casts ult or throw them at ult shadow so his 0.5 sec delayed return will lead him to death) Talon-if he is fed you can't do anything. You are walking with nobody close-and you are dead, nothing can save you except or being a 3k hp tank Diana-she does her fullcombo for 2-3k dmg, uses her 1k hp shield, waits in Zhonyas, and then repeats Fizz-can kill you from lvl4 while countering most other assassins/mages with a single spell LB-too much range, too much targeted damage. To win against LB you need either Chogath(who can survive her combo, silence her so she can't return, and add QR for a kill), Xerath(counter range with even more range so she needs her ultW to reach you and then if she misses her E-no damage) or Yasuo(to block all that Qs and Es with wall), everyone else will hide under tower praying to gods she does not get much kills while roaming Rengar-same as Talon, but at least can be countered by good Thresh/Janna/Lulu
