Assassins are completely taking over the rift

Are they strong or weak? Opie Opie or straight garbage? I don't know and I don't care. What I do know is that virtually every game has 2 assassins in it, and it is not uncommon to see 3. If we also include champions of similar playstyle (i.e. many champions classified as divers say "f** it", rush Duskblade and play like assassins), it's literally assassins everywhere.

Now, I know that boards disliked ADC meta, but as a non-adc player in adc-meta I could at least do something for my ADC. You can peel for them, stall the game until they scale, help them in laning phase etc. You sometimes needed to hold their hand all the fucking game, but you could do SOMETHING to meaningfully impact the game - maybe as a babysitter, but still.

But with feast-or-famine assassins being meta, literally all you do as a non-assassin player is hoping that your assassins (yep, plural) go more 'feast' and less 'famine' than enemy assassins (plural again). And play entire game like a pussy to god forbid don't die to enemy assassin - which, if you asked me, is no better than being a babysitter.

tl;dr nerf item 3147 nao

Probably I am not that lucky. In my games I get a lot of tanks.

I personally feel it has less to do with damage or assassins and more to do with straight up scaling. Runes Reforged unlocked some of the strongest scaling potential league has ever seen, and gave us more ways to get there faster by taking away core defensive options. I'm seeing mages with some of the highest single-target burst i've ever seen in league. Assassins are a byproduct because they thrive in that environment.

I'd like to see better defensive options out of the gate. I'd also like to see early game scalings toned down a bit. It's being decided who wins a bit too early. I think gold awarded for kills should be toned down at earlier levels a bit more.

I do also agree that Duskblade absolutely needs a nerf. item 3147

I agree item 3147 should be removed, I have been playing a fair bit of leona support and have found that if i go electrocute i can do twice the damage to the enemy when i jump them then if i took aftershock. One thing though is i need to buy some ad to make the adaptive damage go toward my ad instead of my ap (ap is useless on this champ). So I buy a long sword then build some support items, but the question is what do i do with this basic ad item. I have played around a bit and duskblade seems to the best choice. It gives that little extra damage that I can now 100-0 most adc champs on my own with a full rotation (with ult). It is literally a case of my adc landing one auto after i jump them and they are dead.

I should not be doing this and this is why item 3147 should be removed.
