Assassins HAVE to kill in the blink of an eye

Think of an assassin IRL. Their target drops without a sound or a struggle, instantly. The entire reason assassins had been viable in competitive play was because they could INSTANTLY remove someone from the game, completely by themselves. A change from ".25 second burst to 1 second" will make assassins forever fail to reach competitive.

Keep the lone wolf+blink of an eye nature of assassinations. They reflect the assassin's identity, and the latter made them viable.

So you don't care about the terrible play patterns and play experiences they force on other players? Because everyone LOVES being killed in under a second with little to no time to react. In my honest opinion, Assassins should be characterized by their ability to get in and get out way more than their ability to instantly kill people.

Terrible gameplay is a thing we want to endorse now? This is why the Gameplay section is a joke.

A grenade IRL has a kill radius of 5 meters and inflicts casualties inside 15 meters. Thus Jhin and Heimerdinger should instantly kill anyone hit by their grenades, and injure anyone who's within about a towers range of the target. /S

IRL mechanics are not game mechanics. Using what a real world assassin would do as logic is an absurdly terrible idea, and would result in the entire game being destroyed if followed to its natural conclusion.

this game isn't representative of the real world, assassins killing people without a second ruins the quality of the game and makes it less fun

Until you realize that all 6 bans are going into only assassins because everyone HATES being on the recieving end of a competant assassin champ. Go ahead make assassins kill everyone before they really have a good chance to respond and see how many MORE people quit the game.
