Assassin update actually fulfills the assassin fantasy, the other updates were merely for gameplay..
Assassins are now going to be like the coolest class in the game?
Not saying anything balanced based, they are fine balance wise. But what kind of epic feeling and gameplay are Juggernauts, Tanks, ADCs, Supports, etc going to have in comparison to all this epic parkour stuff, intricate blinking finesse and crud? I mean, most Juggernauts don't even feel 'powerful' in exchange, most tanks don't feel like a 'steel wall', most marksman don't really feel like high skilled, finesse filled ranged fighters or blasting cannons in the way they should.
Perhaps this can be fixed merely with visual and sound updates. But to me, it feels like most of the reworked assassins will really be living up to their fantasy now. While other class/champion updates have been okay... but mostly were just some mild gameplay updates and balance. They didn't really make their fantasy feel more epic and impactful like with the assassin update.
Like, we need Juggernauts to actually feel like somebody who is coming to march up to you in an intimidating manner and wipe the floor with foes through mighty blows.
We need tanks to feel like they are going to crash into you and tie you all down.
Ashe needs to feel like fucking ice Legolas! Not a slow moving machine gun with a stun who serves the role of DPS for her team.
Only some of these champions feel kinda like this. While the assassins, especially Kat and Talon, are amazing now.
All the other updates? They feel like they were done merely for balance and gameplay sake. Very few of them really expanded on champion fantasies.
and
, I'm confident Riot cares about our lovely tanks well enough to make them awesome and terrifying.
. The feeling of raw power you have with 5 stacks is insane.
and also play some
