New Assassins Cannot be Shutdown

Kewlipo·Nov 20, 2016·3 votes·662 views

I make the enemy assassin go 0/5 in lane, but they still can shred my team without any kills.

I think that's just a bit busted.

How about you?

well that depends. Are they out farming you? is there team still doing well and getting them lots of assist? There are plenty of ways to get back into a game. Lane phase is just a small part.

They are busted. But most of the issues right now are due to the fact that no-one knows how to counter them yet, so even if you've learned how to counter X champion (Kha'zix and Rengar in my opinion are the worst) your allies may not have learned how to deal with them at all and then proceed to feed to them in a series of poor positioning. I did this the first few games with Kha'zix and Rengar. I didn't understand how great their stealth was and didn't ward the right places or play in the right positions. For instance, due to Rengar's new stealth, you actually need deep, deep wards in order to see him before he ganks. Since that really isn't feasible, you need to play safely. This is why Rengar's invisibility duration probably needs a nerf. I think that it could work if it decayed into camouflage, but I don't know. Kha'zix is different. You can ward against him, but you need to be vigilant, because if he dodges into bushes you'll lose sight of him, even if you have the control ward right there. And often you need to ward the spots from which he can leap onto you. So, in my opinion, Rengar is the worst offender. Talon is actually fine. I haven't had problems with him. (Though that could be different depending on elo.)

Unfortunately, however, I think Riot needs to wait a few more weeks until we've caught up on the times and know what's busted and what's counterable before they patch these guys.

"I think that it could work if it decayed into camouflage, but I don't know."

It is actually camouflage during the whole time.

Oh perfect. I misread it then.

What assassin were they playing exactly?

Rengar, Talon, Kha'zix are pretty incredible right now. Haven't had issues with Kata or LB yet though.

to many assassin fans to convince otherwise lol. They would never agree to this cause assassins are the funnest part of the game.

But to answer your question yes. I feel assassins atm are even more retarded then they were before. At least we could pink and reveal them. Now it's just stupid.
