''Assassins are a problem right now'', ''Lethality is too strong'', ''Remove Duskblade'', these are all the types of sentences that you read right now on every post related to Assassins. Now I'm not arguing about assassins being actually weaker than everyone thinks (they are btw), but if you check statistics the only ''op assasin'' that you might find statistic wise is Talon. He's the only one who is perfoming consistently good, with a 52%+ winrate with decent playrate. The other ones are sub-par if not mediocre. I would also argue that Assassins being playable right now is only fair since they've been garbage the entire season, and that to actually argue about a champion people should actually play it in order to realize its strenghts and weaknesses. Assassins dealing a lot of damage is always gonna be the rule; don't expect to see sudden changes where they nerf their damage into the ground, because that's literally all they can do: Kill people. Even if they remove duskblade or change lethality, either way Riot will give assassins players reliable tools to deal damage (be that buffs or new items).

To hell with your statistics. Asassins are not fun to play against for a good amount of the playerbase.

In Soloqueue, if something requires coordination to be defeated it gives it an inherent advantage over everything else and that is the primary problem assassins have.

My thoughts about assasins is that Talon needs a nerf (not a huge one, but a nerf) and that call Wukong a diver or an assasin but his kit is outdated and should see some change to be healithier for the game.

For the rest of assasins I don't have any problem.
