  • The Good:Unseen predator passive/Evolution leads to some VERY interesting battles and fighting pattern -The Bad: Kha6 largely comes down to a Reset machine thats either the best at what he does or isnt worth picking up -The Ugly: Evolution and unseen predator are massively wasted potential. Most Kha6's stick to the SAME upgrade paths and ignore the passive altogether when it comes to skirmishes

Katarina -The Good: high octane "all in" moments which leads to "resets" which in turn leads to crazy getaways easily was the "LCS big plays" champion before Zed was even concieved as an idea -The Bad: complete do or die gameplay design can be pretty unhealthy especially on a MONSTER snowballing champion like this who can decide an entire fight within mere milliseconds also wardjumping leads to Kat being near ungankable -The Ugly:No mana means that balancing her kit is problematic especially for the laning phase.She also offers very little counterplay outside of "just CC her" and stacking resist which is generally the callsign of faulty design

Akali -the Good:Shroud and having that semi-Final hour feeling of " this is MY enviroment your fighting a losing battle" -the Bad: Massive lifesteal and Spellvamp feels that feels unfair when fighting against her combined with her extreme stickiness at level 6 and massive lategame damage output that allows her to drop most with one rotation -the Ugly: base damages and kit so abusable she works as a tank

Shaco -The Good: mind games with boxes and Clone leads to some of the most unique champion experiences while simultaneously seperating the good shacos from the great shacos.This champs effectivness directly scales with the ingenuity of the player controlling him something that is extremely unique and should be held onto AT ALL COST. -The Bad: high early power comes with tradeoffs however and most Shacos often finds themselves becoming useless as games continue and struggling to teamfight and so most will resign to splitpushing. -The ugly: Controlling Shaco clone is an absolute nightmare. constant command cancels and general unresponsiveness. the most infuriating is usually that post death clone will stand in one spot completely useless even if commanded to attack a champion beforehand ( a problem that seems fixable when you look at Tibbers)

Talon -the Good:Ridiculous damage output in mere seconds. Rake+Ult combo will completely Savage grouped teamcomps. One shotting someone will become the norm once Yommus is aquired -the Bad:theres no real counter play to his oneshotting besides stacking resist. -the ugly:will probably need more than one ability to be changed in order to be a bit more fair.

This isnt fact alot of this is opinion. Im simply giving my 2cents on a couple assassins to maybe give Rioters some direction.
