New Assassin Item

Incarceration··2 votes·474 views

Most assassins are failing to assassinate their primary target.

Even though I understand Riot wants assassins to wait for the right moment to go in to give a 100% guarantee on an assassination, that rarely happens because the AD carry will usually be protected so you will have multiple moments that give you something like a 60% chance to kill the AD carry.

As a proposal, how about this item?

Death Minister- 3300 +70 AD +65 AP

Passive: Grants 10% CDR Passive: 15 Magic Penetration and 20 Lethality Passive: This item is untargetable. Active: Select a target. If a target is selected, they will be marked and a passive, Prey, will be channeled for 3 seconds, and lasts for 15 seconds. Unique Passive- Prey: If the target loses health from you, but they do not die, you get a reset of all of your abilities and actives. Your damage does 15% than it is supposed to. (70 second cooldown) Unique Passive- Fatality: Your next ability ignores 10% of their armor and magic resist, and does 40 true damage. (40 second cooldown)

This item isn't completely useless if you succeed to kill your target, is usable by every assassin, has good stats, isn't abusable, and helps solve the problem, but it might be used by other classes.

Marksmen- I'm not sure about these guys. Divers: I'm not sure about these guys either.

My biggest problem with this is just in the raw stats. You have 3600 gold items that give less. I would suggest splitting it apart into 2 items, one for AD and one for AP. Otherwise, assassins with hybrid scalings (Katarina, Evelynn) would abuse this item far too well.

The stats can be lowered. Not a problem.

The hybrid users would be a small problem, not because they could abuse the item too well with the stats, it's just worth their gold, while a pure ap assassin like Leblanc would pay extra gold for nothing.

If the stats are lowered to make it balanced for a hybrid assassin, then it becomes completely useless on anyone who isn't hybrid. Like you said, they pay extra gold for absolutely nothing. Better to just have it as 2 separate items, 1 for AP and 1 for AD, than to have it as 1 single, hybrid item. Better yet, make it only AP and buff the stats a little bit. AP assassins are in a worse spot than AD ones typically nowadays because ADCs just have access to more defensive items that help with AP assassins while also making them deal more damage.

I want to help Zed, Kha, Talon, Rengar, and those guys too.

The only true ap assassins out there are leblanc and fizz. Shaco, Kat, Eve, and Akali are hybrid.

It might be better to make two different items and just keep the stats the same.

Edit: AD stats for the ad item and AP stats for the ap item.

Yes, they should nerf Assassin items since they eviscerated mage items already

Typical low elo mage main, complaining about how Maw is overpowered.

And the sad part is that you aren't even good at them.

What do you mean by, "This item is untargetable."

???

The passive allows you to reset all of the abilities and actives. To stop this item from being too abusable, I made the item untargetable. This way, they can't reuse the activate in niche situations and/or the fatality passive.

The title reads assassin item but all i see is Akali item =-=

Define "but they do not die"... Cause every assassin does damage first without killing his target, even if they get "oneshot" :o

How about being "critically low"? Maybe 50% Hp lowered from the assassin's damage.
