People complain too much about assassin's

Winrates of assassin's

Shaco 53.45% Zed 50.32% Nocturne 52.43% Talon 52.97% Akali 52.83%

Rengar, Leblanc and Katarina are the only assassin's who need buffs right now because Rengar is sitting at a 48.94% winrate, Leblanc at a 48.46% and Katarina at a 49.48%. Every other assassin is in a good spot and they are receiving uncessary buffs.

And yet people are complaining how the majority of the assassin class is bad (like always), but the assassin's who are actually good are being buffed. Zed for example, he has been buffed twise now, once on live where his R cooldown has been reduced and second time on PBE where his overall damage is being increased.

I know that there are particular assassin's who need to be buffed because they either have a old kit or they are just underperforming with their reworked kit .

Just why?

I hate assassin circle jerking as much as you, and i try to speak out against all these people exaggerating. But these buffs are to compensate for a pretty big duskblade nerf, so they try to fix a problem before it surfaces.

Lb is getting reverted, kat got overnerfed but was the best assassin couple patches ago, renger got reverted, assassin are still some of the most popular champs in the game, they really are whining way too much.

Because people don't like to be 1 shot.

Frankly they do accept being perma pushed/zoned by Anivia or Sion poking/clearing the wave instantly while poking you down and there is nothing you can do about it.

People think Assassins are bad but they have one of the most healthy playstyles in this game.

So it's not OK for assassins to oneshot ADC? But it's totally balanced for ADC's to oneshot everyone from range, with freaking right click.

While I do agree Assassins are in a good spot, I disagree about Katarina getting buffed , her winrate is 50%+ which is decent As for Rengar , he is in a weird Situation, he 1 shoots any adc before Lulu can be able to use her w or her whole kit , he can go to backline and kill both adc and support and die which wins the fight , why does he need buffs ? Why his winrate is low ? I don't get it, probably people aren't using him as an assassin , to be an assassin , it's about to kill someone without letting them notice you , like hiding in a bush and 100-0 squishies insted of starting a 5 vs 5 fight by going with a Zed ult the adc in front of 5 people so the adc flashes away and Zed either died or run with his shadow , so how is that even close of being assassination?

They are getting buffed because duskbalde is getting nerfed.
