Obviously these will have to be assassins, but what's some changes you're hoping to see?

Personally I would like to see a Fizz major rework, removing his ability that allows him to be untargetable, and making him unable to build tanky and still melt squishys. Definitely wanting a Shaco update, his kit is so cancerous and tilting to me. Master Yi also definitely needs a complete rework.

Other small things like making Kassadin playable again.

Hopefully some balancing to Rengar, and Ekko.

That's what I'm hoping to see. what about you guys?

Akali

Dovahkiin4161 votes

I'm actually very happy with where Akali is, but that's just because I play her often.

1wolfpack1 votes

lol fair enough, atm I kinda suck with her. so Im hoping with some changes my style of play with her would work out a little better.

Dovahkiin4161 votes

The only issue I still have with her is remembering to tick my Q once to proc it on them. Late game that is

1wolfpack2 votes

Remember the days when Akalis "W" would proc her "Q". gawd damn, when they removed that it messed me up for a bit.

Dovahkiin4161 votes

I wasn't around then, but that sounds OP.

biggest issue akali has is that once someone counters her steal she becomes a really squishy diver.

in some way an assasin should be a high risk- high reward kill thread on a team. most AD asassins have the risk to be melee and ap asassins like ekko and diana and akali has that same risk. then there is Leblanc le blanc to me is not enough high risk to the reward she gives as a champion in ranked games. in my opinion they can nerf her ult-W and ult-E but buff her Ult-Q so she revolves more around on her damage increise if you hit another spell and not just spam a W-R and still be able to wipe a carry off

Dovahkiin4161 votes

True, I feel like she should be more reliant on her Q to do damage. Her E should be made to where it's only the tether-snare. She's almost faceroll right now, although she is hard to master. Pretty easy to just 'play'. Maybe not remove the E damage entirely, but definitely reduce the damage, or maybe remove the damage, and add an R+E that is an automatic snare to balance out the damage removal.

if Fizz and Rengar are not in the big changes im marking the assassin update as a failure. these 2 are everthing an assassin should not be. Rengar can only 1 shot, and Fizz can build tank and can assassinate your tanks. Eve and akali cant really have much done because they are on the VGU list. Talon is atleast getting a new passive (meddler confirmed this a month ago). would like to see LeBlancs laning phase toned down a bit too in favor of adding some late game power

Dovahkiin4161 votes

I agree completely.

Fizz tired of the constant near-unavoidable damage. He really needs some more weakness than his 'long cooldowns'

Evelynn Just needs a new passive and her damage or utility increased. Maybe she only goes invis when within (varies to balance-- 1500-3000?) range of an enemy player, and remains invisible for a duration, which has a cooldown. Causes enemy supports to ward further out (or maybe they'll stay the same,) and her pathing will be somewhat unpredictable once she is spotted. She could then be a little more useful to her team, even if behind in items.

Akali Increased cooldowns, less charges on her ult or less damage on her abilities. She is a little too mobile with too much damage. I shouldn't feel like MR should be my first item or two when her first item is AP or MPen.

Dovahkiin4161 votes

Akali definitely odes need longer cooldowns. Her E at max rank is like a 1 second cooldown. Needs less ult damage and should be strictly a gap closer, or make it like Diana; where her Q needs to be proc'd on them.

Haven't played enough Eve to give an opinion on her.

Fizz needs to be removed lmao

Reaper Soraka1 votes

Eve feels like she's really feast or famine. If she gets a couple ganks off she can become unstoppable. I feel if she doesn't get those ganks, the items she has to farm up after those failed ganks come too late, and just cause her to fall off really hard.

Dovahkiin4161 votes

From what I've played of her that seems to be the case.

doesnt matter

all the assassins are going to be trash

Dovahkiin4161 votes

You mean broken.

Irelia Bot3 votes

Correction half will be at a sub 40% win rate, 2 will be in the 48 to 52% win rate window and the rest will be 57%+ win rate.

Dovahkiin4162 votes

More than likely lmao

warpenguin5552 votes

cant forget the one that has like a 20% winrate and gets massively overbuffed

Dovahkiin4161 votes

Gonna be Eve. Calling it now xD

Why you so salty tho?

I was thinking that since assassins are high burst champs that the damage ratios would be way off for some of them; Be it way too low, or way too high.

Get some chill you salty bastard

ahri should be getting her yearly kit grooming during this update just cuz they'll probably mess with the items

Dovahkiin4161 votes

Is Ahri technically an assassin? I've heard mage and assassin

warpenguin5552 votes

tbh i think riot sees her as being right on the line

a mage assassin is technically a separate class from mages or assassins but then anything you do to assassins will affect ahri even if you focus only on AD assassins.

Be sure to up-vote to get more insight. I love hearing new ideas, and opinions.

I know that assassins are meant to go in, get a target and go out. But i think they need a speed reduction cause its really hard to peel your carries from a fed assassin. Lb can jump in do her combo and be out and all you do at that time is exhaust her (same with master yi) its hard to stun them (you can wait for yi's q to end but if he's fed u kinda dont wanna wait that long cause thats a penta) They do so much damage and leave untouched with ward hops or dashes There shoulf be some slow to give us a higher chance of catching up to them

Gigahappytown1 votes

diana akali talon rengar are without a doubt the main champs getting reworked they

with a ability or two changes to fizz leblanc nocturne

zed and ekko are defiantly not any abilitys changed

shaco needs a visual and kit overhaul they are probably going to re-launch him like trundle sion and poppy

I kind of doubt leblanc would get any changes since she is the "garen" of assassins.
