Assassins are in too strong of a play right now

iConcy··7 votes·1,521 views

Does anyone else feel this way? I see more and more assassins in all positions (top,mid,jungle) simply knowing that regardless, they will always cap out and start to roll.

I just feel that I stand no chance to peel for my carries since they get blown up before much can be done.

I would actually say it is the opposite. Assassins are in a world of hurt at the moment. there are 3 simple ways to deny an assassin that it seems msot low level players don't understand.

  1. Stick with your team
  2. Buy a Zhonias/GA
  3. QSS (in some situations such as zed)

Champions with cc or movement abilities make escaping from an assassin easy. exhaust is also great versus assassins.

I disagree with most of the champs you've listed (even Kat though I still love her). The only champs that you have listed that I would agree with would be:

Kassadin : Imo for a late game monster his scalings are pretty weak

Talon : Ever since they removed the silence I feel like they destroyed him or atleast I'm doing bad with him now

For the love of god do not buff Fizz and as for Rengar ...just no. His early game is just outright op Especially when he counterjungles. item 3070 item 3151

Talon isn't completely dead he just isn't as reliable as he use to be now that silence is gone.

I am just saying that I'm not good with him anymore. Talon used to be my favorite champ but over time I started doing worse with him and then they nerfed him and now I can't play him effectively.

I still main him commonly, if you're interesting you can add me in-game and we can go over what you could improve so you'll do better with him.

Sounds great though recently I've found a new love for champions like Nasus, Poppy, etc. that scale amazingly into late game.

Fizz <== only this freak needs some nerfin'.

The new Soraka crushes most assassins.

Also if carries get blown up, that's their fault. Even they need some resists, Malmortious for example is a great AD/MR combo, perfect against AP assassins.

exhaust. 5 exhaust and assassins are useless.

And here I've been seeing assassins getting nerfed left and right this season to kill the league of assassins. I think the op is a little behind on the times.

I do agree that for most of the time I've played League (about 3 months now) assassins seemed like they were getting shit on but they are still pretty strong even after the unnecessary nerfs

I don't know if all were unnecessary, Riot has been trying to create room for other classes to push back onto the rift. Assassins took over mid lane from mages and were even pushing into the jungle and top lane, time for the tanks and bruisers to push back.

I do beleive that after a while counter assassins should become more popular though I don't really know who the counter assassins are (besides Lissandra ; ) )
