Go in, use your gap-closer, press all your buttons, kill your target from 70% HP, use your disengage button, wait 6 seconds for your abilities to come back, find your next target, rinse and repeat.
Remind me why they have high burst with reliable escapes on top of low cooldowns?
I swear people have the lousiest takes on these forums.
"Back in the old days, Rengar DIDN'T one shot me from st-" Yes he fucking did. All you guys do here is lie. Jeeze.
I remember when Zed was forced to get Black cleaver second item and Talon would go tiamat Trinity to deal damage Those were days when counterplay exsisted and Assassins could be punished for their mistakes
I mean, they did, but that happend like 5 seasons ago.
Why bring this back up now, Riot made it clear that they are fine with solo queue games having 3-4 assassins per match.
Go in, use your gap-closer, press all your buttons, kill your target from 70% HP, use your disengage button, wait 6 seconds for your abilities to come back, find your next target, rinse and repeat.
They also did that back in the old glorious days where the game was PERFECT
What a fucking liar you are. Back in the older season all the assassin did was 100-0 your ass from stealth with a press of two buttons.
Are you telling me that Rengar jumping on you and deleting you didn't require thinking?
You think only assassins are doing this? Look at mages too mate.
The problem is that Riot has restored/buffed a LOT of ways to earn Energy in recent years but hasn't hit the assassins on their cooldowns as compensation.
Zed can literally Q 4-5 times per significant mage cooldown on a burst hit. And it's not like Zed's Q does no damage...
2-3 days ago I midded vs a zed as Morgana, and I had stopwatch.
He could barely even hurt me in lane..... until he hit 700g and recalled to finish a 
. Suddenly went from hitting for about 15% of my HP to hitting 70% in one Q combo.
So then..... I'm stuck using W to farm to zone him. Not every wave has a cannon minion and the damage is lackluster for clear early game, so in the meantime, he can just roam and kill my bot, etc, because there's no keeping up with his cooldowns/energy bar, and chasing a Zed is stupid.
Game before that....was Cass vs a Talon. Talon didn't even stay in lane, and farmed faster than me, because after he picked off jungle Gragas and bot lane a couple times, he could just pass by lane, throw 1 skill at a wave, kill it, and continue his roam. He even joked/laughed around level 7: Don't bother ganking mid. They're behind. Because he was right. Through his ganks, constant wall jumping, and 1 shot clears, I was behind him.
Honestly, these assassins are just magic assassins and Qiyana, the other assassins are basic. They were OP asf 3 months ago, till Riot buffed everything. But don't worry! Assassins will be buffed soon
Bet you miss how assassins used to be like eve before rework, might have been frustrating to die to a champion that could be invisible at level 1 but you always understood why you died and could even kill unless she was 20 kills ahead.
Old eve was fair precisely because she had no hard escapes if she made a mistake and you had a hard stun you could make her pay, where as all the new assassins just leap away.
