The last couple of weeks are really annoying in the game. It is basically one shot or be one shotted, every game with rarely any exception. Zed, kayn, twitch and basically every assassin that uses duskblade are impossible to play against after they reach a certain point in the game or just get the slightest bit ahead of others. You can never move around alone or even with up to 5 people and counter that, the second they reach you you just die, there is no reaction time and/or counterplay to that, and its very frustrating. The stopwatch as a option of defense sucks as well, 600 gold for a single zhonya is not worth anything, and most of the time u die anyway because you cant move away from that spot. Its not even being mad about loosing, but seein black and white all the time without any chance to play against that, where it doesnt matter if youre full build or not, is just sh*t and removes at least 90% of the champions of any kind of viability, because they cant oneshot fast enough or at least survive something in order to fight back.

May seem a bit harsh, but in my opinion duskblade should be removed entirely from the game, it is ridiculously unbalanced and has 0 counterplay. Assassins have all the tools to quickly kill a squishy target, they dont need babysitting mode from duskblade in order to accomplish that. I also wouldnt mind twitch being removed as well, with his invisibility and (who would have thought) ulti to oneshot entire teams that cant react fast enough. But thats more of a personal hate champion, he has my nr. 1 spot with zed, yasu and kayn.

Riot is bipolar.

They spent the entirety of season 5 or 6 (I don't remember) handing out half assed reworks for a ton of champions in the game with one huge underlying theme of MUH COUNTERPLAY. So what do they do this season? Introduce item 3147.

It's either got to do with their devs or their company structure but either way don't expect riot to ever make logical decisions, especially when it pertains to the goals they set out for themselves.

Just do something about duskblade* should be your title, otherwise assassins are fine and do their job. I mean, it's not normal for a Zed to 100-0 someone without his R, just hitting Q+E+AA with duskblade (even if you have Zhonya)

If the enemy is assassin heavy just implement defensive stats into your build, and it becomes much harder for them to 1 shot you. But if you don't have any tanks or cc against one who is crazy fed, you might have lost though.

Completely agree. AD assassins just need to buy serrated dirk and then there is nothing you can do.
