A reminder for the Assassin reworks

Bârd··2 votes·511 views

Don't just do things to the assassins. Give other roles ways to deal with them.

for example...

Rengar Evelynn can have stealth, but give us a way to detect them. Maybe something similar to "Scan" in DOTA 2 (marks a target area, and notifies the user if there are enemies within it).

Leblanc Zed Nidalee can continue to have high pressure all game with high damage and mobility, but give us some way to contest it. Maybe change item 3102's spellshield into an active (or allow us to disable it) we can save it to block the most important part of their combo, rather than a Q they threw at us 6 seconds prior.

On a side note, Ekko Needs to be squishy. Maybe add an "anti tank ekko" mechanic to his ult, causing Ekko to have his armor and MR lowered by ~20% for a few seconds after he ults, since his particles are unstable from traveling backwards in time. Since he would build mostly damage, Assassin Ekko hardly loses anything, but a build focusing on tank stats would be horrible at that point.

You mean like Lotus Orb or Linken's Sphere or Shadow Blade or Blink Dagger? Yeah, and people still say Dota2 lacks balance. Sure the heroes see overpowered or broken but the items to counter them exist

AND THAT is the big difference between League and Dota2 and why IceFrog does a better a job.

Riot also needs to stop bloating their champions so much just because they're new or give weaknesses to champions other than "He's melee".

Ekko has so much going on in his kit , slows , aoe, stuns , dmg + heal + reposition, can go over walls, movespeed burst, dmg%missing health... his weakness is that he's melee.

Zed super toxic to play against. Le balanced safety ninja man. He is not gated by risk or mana, can go all in with his ult and get out so easily while giving you almost no time to react.

Evelynn chooses 2 lanes to camp and breaks the game. Forces the enemy team to either recall and keep buying pinks or playing safe all game for no reason other than her existing. Did I mention that if she camps a lane you she'll deward, you'd have to go back to base , buy another pink losing gold + losing gold from lane / experience ??? Very balanced gameplay.

I feel like league is missing a class of champions. Burst > Sustain > Juggernaut > Tank.

What beats high Burst high mobility but would lose to tanks?

I think Taliyah was sort of an attempt at anti assassin with that mine field. Poppy also has an anti dash, but these skills just aren't enough to stop characters that have an over abundance of mobility. Maybe a reactive item that auto link to someone that flies at you at a certain distance per second. like maybe an item tha adds Crit ( gotta fill that TF gap now), some bonus health/shield against incoming players. and maybe an active that links you to the target so they take like 10% of the damage they deal to you back.

only problem I see is that assassin would end up using it. Hard to make ADC only items that assassins can't or won't use.
