She hits level 2 and drops half your HP with nearly unavoidable damage, fair?

I like to play Syndra. I still think no one in their right mind should believe she doesn't need a nerf.

OK but you're telling me she deserves a nerf before all these utterly broken assassins?

Syndra at the very least has counterplay. Wheres the counterplay to these assassins who just point and click all in you for your whole health bar? Nerf Syndra fine, but these other champions better be getting nerfs too.

To be fair Syndra's kind of BS as well. Nothing feels better than dodging all of her abilities and then taking 400~ damage to the face at level 6 from her unavoidable ult.

Fizz Leblanc Akali Zed

What do all these champ share as their incredible asset in their kit? Easy initiation and gap closer

Lstrike1 votes

Its easy initiation, DOUBLE gap closer AND easy disengage (except for Akali: she has TRIPLE Gap closer and hard disengage)

They are assassins they are made to kill 1 champion and be done. CC them or get a GA and they almost become useless.

No way. If that were to happen, you couldn't play a 100% damage champ and build 100% damage and just walk through everyone like OP wants.

Lmao syndra can out freelo them

To be honest, all of them need a nerf, Syndra included. She may not be as much of an assassin as the others, but her damage is still really high for how safe she is in lane and in fights.

Syndra is 10 times better than all of those champions combined

Fizz broken, akali ult needs to be shortens to flashes distance because its unfair. Leblanc is balanced because she falls off hard late game, unless ofcourse you fed her a lot because you didn't call mia and she roamed bot and got a double kill. Leblanc relies heavily on Pure AP and doesn't build Mana regen, abuse this. And ward rivers 24/7.

They're disgustingly broken if they're fed, but so is almost every other champ. That's how it's supposed to be.

Ratbert1 votes

Lb is disgustingly broken??? Are you getting assassinated by an assassin??? Her mobility is now her selling point, but is eclipsed still by zed and yasuo. She doesn't even have useful cc anymore besides a weak tether snare.

Percseuss1 votes

They are nerfing syndra because she pushes other mages out of the midlane because she's a "burst mage"

I think you mean toxic.

Broken either means something isn't working as intended (AKA a bug) or are impossible to balance.

Of those mentioned, I'd say they are fairly closed to balanced. It's really debatable whether they push the op or up line so not arguing there.

However, toxic is a whole other topic. Are they fun to play against or as? Having played both as and against Akali and Fizz, they are either ahead and a blast to play as while no fun to play against. Or they are behind and about as much fun as getting kicked where the sun don't shine.

Fizz: "2 Dorans and a Sheen will suffice. But before that, i can go under tower at lvl 3 and do an early combo with ignite!"

Zed: "Well, guess what? i can engage and disengage at lvl 6. Two times!"

Yasuo: "I synergize my ult with: Braum Aatrox Alistar Azir Blitzcrank Chogath JarvanIV Kalista Malphite Maokai Rammus Darius Zyra Zac Thresh Sejuani Riven Volibear Singed Sion Velkoz. Without mention i got my own tornado! like Janna!.

LeeSin: "I can wreck you all with my eyes closed"

JarvanIV: "i used to wreck too, but not with my eyes closed"

Fizz Zed Yasuo: "J4, you didn't get it, do you?"

JarvanIV: "..."

JarvanIV: "ohh..."

JarvanIV: item 3070.

of all the assassins, Leblanc is the worst to lane against. but Akali is the hardest to deal with

gawd another nerf akali thread

let me guess, you fed her and she catched you alone and instagibbed you?

that's what assasins do

I played akali since before you even knew league existed ( back when ranked and draft didn't even exist) and riot hasn't changed akali ever, u know why right?
she is EASILY countered and brings NOTHING to teamfights after mid game , only picking up squishys or runners but that's something that every other assassin can do, zed comes to mind as he can do exactly the same but his escapes are ten times better

I don't think this thread singles out Akali, but rather the gameplay of assassins in general. This thread focuses more on the Assassin class and how broken they truly are. For example, let's take Akali. If she gets behind, she becomes useless. She will engage and die in almost every team fight, but if she's even an inch ahead, she will murder your team with resets and spell vamp all the damage up. Assassins are either stupid strong or useless and Riot has not found that middle ground yet.

And then you just CC them and the insta die.

Umm... They are not broken even remotely. They are ALL Assassins. They are supposed to do extremely high damage, so don't complain about it when they are super ridiculously easy to counter. Pink wards against Leblanc/Akali + Hard CC = GG. If they still win, then you got outplayed and that does not mean the champ is broken. Take it from a Mid main, that they are most certainly not broken. I don't have issues playing against ANY of them.

Pink wards totally prevent Akali or Leblanc from leaping on to you and instantly killing you. Next time i play against one ill just totally fill my entire inventory with pink wards good advice.
