People's concerns about impending Assassin Update?

So the preview, so to speak, of the assassin update is out and so far I am horrified to play in season 7. Now, a lot of details haven't been fleshed out yet so there is a chance my fear is horribly misplaced, but from what they have said it could seem that a lot of the assassins that are already either unhealthy or just unfun to play against will be even more frustrating to fight in seasons 7, my main concerns are Talon and Fizz but I am also really worried about Rengar.

What is everyone's thoughts/ fears about season 7 so far? I am interested to hear what everyone may be thinking!

Always bothers me how secretive they are until the last moment, and then they force people to live with the changes afterwarsds. I mean just look at how Swain ended up: He was so dreadful they had to give him insane numbers so he could work, without actually addressing the main flaw of his rework.

I'm just scared that fizz won't be worked on enough, he's way too strong, there's no reason for me to go 3/0 in lane against fizz but as soon as he hits 6 he deletes me and I lose lane, completely broken imo

Talon sounds fun

If you're worrying about the pink wards, they might change some stealth champions to "camouflage"..meaning its like eve's stealth. (I would imagine rengar could be a decent choice for that)

They say they want Talon to pick a target and be able to kill it focusing on single target burst and escape. That's all well and good for teamfights but in laning phase that's going to be a joke

Cautiously optimistic about the LeBlanc rework. She's my favorite Champion of the group being updated and also my second highest mastery. Really hope she'll remain sufficiently bursty to pose a threat to squishy targets while also preserving her mobility and deceptiveness; W delay on snapback has me worried though.

I wonder what her new VFX will look like--I'm hoping that if she keeps her Q, it'll be changed to look like a sigil of the Black Rose.

Really excited for the Talon changes. I've always wanted to get into playing him but found his kit boring/lackluster, maybe this update will do the trick. An Ezio-style character in League sounds like it would be awesome, especially if he can perch on towers or terrain (the name Talon makes sense now!). Really hope it doesn't ruin him for Talon mains though. :(

There's a chance that some of the Assassins will end up too strong or overbearing to play against as a result of the update, but that's almost inevitable. I just hope all the reworks are fun and successful from a design standpoint, don't care much about the numbers balance as that can always be tuned and changed. Not only that but Assassins' burst windows are being extended across the board, so they shouldn't be too much of a problem.

My only problem is that I will no longer be able to mess with stealthed target by using Pix.

I like the ward changes because I don't have to play the "place a pink and polymorph something in 0.5 seconds or else you and your ADC will die" game anymore, and peeling from them will still be possible. Now the real question is, how are we gonna outplay stealthed targets without having to ~~blindly~~ stock up pink wards? If I can't point and click just to reveal them, fine. If not even skillshots can stop them, then I'd be a little bit concerned.

Otherwise I'm pretty thrilled to see how the reworks would turn out. Just as hyped on the fact that these guys will no longer be dead weight if they are behind as a teammate, if anything.

Im ready for Talon to become Enzio
