The Goal of the Assassin Rework

GarthBrooksXD·Nov 13, 2016·2 votes·534 views

Was to make it feel like you actually got outplayed when an assassin killed you right? So how was this accomplished when talon can ult stealth jump over a wall then one shot the adc and jump over another wall then jump over another wall then one shot someone else? What can I do about it? ? haha nope. CC? haha nope. . Guess the only remaining option is to build adc full tank. new meta coming. haha. this game isnt even fun right now. I dont know why they released this horrible patch as is it obviously didnt accomplish what they said they meant to accomplish with the assassin rework.

Assassins need to be able to kill ADCs instantly with little counterplay. Or else the ADC will heal half of their HP bar with one AA and be generally unstoppable.

ADCs are the problem here. They've been way too prevalent and strong ever since the Marksman rework patch.

I have to agree with you the game is much more enjoyable played mindlessly

Nothing is more mindless than just AAing an enemy to win.

Assassins have a lot to think about. They need to risk incursion into enemy territory. They need to ward that territory in order to find their prey. They need to manage their high cooldown abilities correctly. They need to wait for enemies to use their defensive cooldowns, summoner spells, or crowd control abilities. They need to hit nearly every button on their bar, in the correct order while hitting skillshots, within a 2-3 second timeframe. They need to sweep out enemy wards so that they don't get spotted out. They need to properly use their mobility to escape or dodge skillshots that will chunk them for large portions of their health. They often need to do this alone, because allies could give them away. And, for the vast majority of them, they need to do this within melee range.

ADCs have to AA, know how to attack move, and know how to stand behind tankier allies. That's it. Their supports ward and sweep away wards for them. Their tanks keep enemies off of them. Shields and protection is thrown at the ADC from every direction, and all they have to do is attack move.
