Riot sure loves their assassins.

So I think its pretty obvious that Riot has a thing for assassins... mainly mage assassins being obscenely strong such as Akali, Katarina, and Fizz whom can easily 100 to 0 pretty much any champion in that game who doesn't have 6 spirit visages. Feel that these mage assassins should be even more susceptible to damage and CC (looking at you Fizz ) or make it so much harder for them to easily make a comeback ( i.e Katarina just jumping in and getting a free triple) or even make it so that it is harder for them to escape ganks ( e.x: Katarina can no longer jump to wards or friendly minions/ Fizz E cost a % of his maximum health). Or this can just boil down to bump up the cooldowns on their "I fucked up buttons" so that their laning is harder and with reduced mobility this ensure that they have to PREPARED to kill or else they just fall off. (capitalized prepared since realistically an assassin would be prepared to kill as opposed to just jumping in and getting triples Katarina )

Pretty sure a Spirit Visage and a Banshee's Veil probably gives more benefit that 6 Spirit Visages, and gets rid of most of their damage. If they're still causing an issue, and you're playing an AD champ, buy a Hexdrinker/Maw of Malmortius for more MR and a nifty passive shield.

Don't get caught out alone.

Save your CC for when they're diving for the carries and lock them down after they've used their mobility options to get into the position where they're about to land a kill. Fizz can't dodge CC with his trollpoll down without having to burn his Q when he otherwise might not want to, and Kat can only dodge CC once, and only if there's an enemy in a position to let her, same as Fizz's Q. After that she has to stand in place for 2 full seconds, so if you aren't able to tag a stationary opponent with hard CC I'd suggest rethinking who you're bringing into the Rift once you see someone with high burst like them.

Is that why so many of them have been getting nerfed?
