already calling it for preseason, assassins OP

Very Hard Engage··2 votes·553 views

no1s getting armor except for the "supports" who dont go mid. or the "junglers" fiddlesticks.

any AD champ is going to be inherently strong again in the mid lane for no other reason than you being outright unable to tech in early armor as you need too.

looking at you zed, talon, khazix, riven.

so yeah, early game lead leads to never coming back and auto lose lane to snowball. you think the green tree might save you with the base HP, oh boy are you wrong, you dont buy HP against assassins, you buy armor. something the green tree doesn't give.

nor will you be capable of buying it on a mage.... still..

lets not mention how fundamentally wrong it is to provide "everyone" with 12 hp per level and what is it, 20 base hp? not every champion scales the same way, even bronze players know this.

blanket changes are bad. you did not sift through and ask yourselves "what are the most common runes this champion uses, and what do they use as alternatives"

blanket hp is not the answer.

They gave almost everyone the current hp/lvl yellows, that is why it was a blanket change. Hp is actually better mid game versus assassins and is also better early-ish game if they do mixed damage (including things like ignite). I've always kept hp/lvl on versus assassins for mid game survivability and I never had a problem, you just gotta respect the level 3 + 6 powerspike (or level 2 for Talon).

This is not about assassins then, but rather about any AD caster/AD assassin ..? Ap assassin will be roughly the same I guess

anyone with auto resets is going to be busted. im mentioning assassins as a term which is synonymous with early aggression get in there, dive, and try and kill someone asap. useless in a team setting, totaly picked this person to try and win lane.

not "stealth" champions in particular.

I can imagine your disappointment, hoping your main would be OP only to find out the OP forgot about them completely.

Disappointment ? Do I really want her to have 60% banrate as she used to ?... i'm more than fine of the way she is atm. :)

lol, fair enough. She's certainly strong and able to cause havoc, so long as she stays out of the spotlight you can just keep abusing that.

Abusing is a huge word though... she is not that strong ( against good players ) to be honest

all ap champs = "mages" all "assassins" = ad champs

life of an ap assassin player lul

let me know when they make a pen build for an ap assassin.

oh wait.

its all burst and bulk.

just because you're melee range doesn't mean you're an assassin who excels at going in, getting out, taking out a low hp target.

completely shut down by tanks, unlike assassins who can at least hybridize to become capable of 1v1ing the tank if they needed to... completely unlike the diana who just dies to the sejuani.

Assassins are already OP. Have you seen their win rates lately? It's time to nerf Fizz and Talon.
