The Assassin Update Review
So I was watching a lot of stuff on the champions to see which one is good or which one is to buy, so far I have made up a list compiling up of what I have found in the assassins with the update
Prepare for the weird stuff
LeBlanc, the Deceiver
So I never really played her before the rework but I had the point about LeBLanc. Chain Them, Go In, Get Out. That means the same for assassin types really, but what the few things I found interesting about her changes was the wave clear and I have love playing Ryze (Rework 3 Ryze) since he kinda rings to me. She has wave clear and more updated assassin-y feel BUT what have failed in doing so with her was... nothing really... but you know the whole Mimic thing... Nice one Riot.
Pros: She has wave clear, poke without going in, is out playable, and good pieces of her kit to combo with
Cons: She lost her ability to either have great escapes and more.
LeBlanc gave me a feeling of picking one by one then leaving through double dashing, double chaining, or whatever she can do but now since I kinda find her ultimate kinda pointless it makes a huge scar in LeBlanc's kit
LeBlanc, the Noxian Lying Two Faced (Literately) Woman - 8/10 (I added one since of the Ryze thing)
Talon, the Bladed Shadow (Or whatever since he's just a knife man)
Can I just say how funny Talon is to me, he comes in, pokes you with his knife, then rolls away over terrain like the video of the puppy going up the steps then falling down (aka the ADC's Life so far in this meta). Talon really got to the saying of "Run Bitch Run" cause when I'm playing Lucian and I see Talon I book it and run like an anime character school girl seeing a tentacle monster. Talon's new kit gives more of a retouched feel and not like the new Project Skins being all flashy and colorful, but as the sense of Ryze's rework type stuff, it takes more skill and gives you a button saying "I messed up oh shit" then you roll over terrain. He has a more Assassin's Creed x Mirror's Edge type feel and he is honestly an okay champ depending on the team comps.
Pros: He is able to pick well and run, he can go jungle, he has kind of out playable, and has one less button to hit you with
Cons: He has more mobility meaning marksman can get killed, he has to think which terrain he is gonna use, and is situational with comps
Talon, the Parkour Stab Man - 6-7/10
Fizz, the Playful Trickster
Fizz is honestly a spellblade I would have as a pocket pick if I owned him, he has AoE Dodge, bleed, percent health Damage, and he has burst enough to kill or waste summoners. I played him a few times I think on rotations to look for some new mid or top laners, and he is by far someone I would by if I have the chance. Fizz offers a think that a few assassins have, engage and confirmed disengage. Kha'Zix has one unless if he's CC'd, Talon has one if he didn't use a piece of the map or isn't CC'd, and more and more, people like Fizz and Kassadin have that good feel of going in and out with rewards. He all around a champion I do like and his kit is good to use, but honestly I would pick Kassadin over Fizz because Fizz's main problem to me is that his engage can be funky like when fighting against Anivia. Anivia stuns Fizz or Anivia walls off and ults Fizz with Fizz not being able to do anything, Kassadin has a .5 second ult that blinks over and deals incredible damage while able to proc TLD with his W. Kassadin offers more one versus one potential while Fizz can honestly be a bruiser and deal damage unlike Kassadin.
Pros: He can be flexible engaging and has a confirmed disengage, his kit provides good set ups and picking, and he can build bruiser and be damage
Cons: His one versus one can go a bit weird unless they did survive
Fizz, the Fish Wearing Asexual Tuna - 9/10
Kha'Zix, the Voidreaver
Kha'Zix is someone/something I can get one and get the rewarding feels of one versus one-ing someone (Like every assassin in the game) but unlike others, Kha'Zix feels good like Fizz but not enough like Fizz, the beneficial part about Kha'Zix is that his jungling goes more soundly in a sense. His passive makes his clear more faster and he has great dueling and ambushing thanks to his Isolated perk passive thing. He has the feel of you being a hunter (Or Pedophile to ADCs) and your just evolving and eating everything in your path like a fat motherfucker, which peaks my interest as a whole. But what the main problem Kha'Zix has is that he can be terrible sometimes if the person isn't alone or your engage is messed up which means.... HE IS ABLE TO COUNTER PLAY. Kha'Zix is by far one of the best assassins in my opinion cause of pick, kit, and countering as in he is able to kill, his kit has s good killing set up, and he is able to be killed.
Kha'Zix, the Pedo-Void Bug - 10/10
Katarina, the Sinister Blade
I played not a lot of Katarina since her kit didn't suit me, her new one still doesn't but that doesn't mean she is excluded in this. The point of Katarina's new update is to harness her down and make her more deadly while at is by giving her like double health regen since "Early game is terrible for her", with her new kit you can build tanky like Spirit Visage, Gunblade, and a few CDR and AP items then your set. Her new kit feels clunky for me honestly since I can't have the feel of assassination but more of OCD Hitman, the blades honestly make me think of why would she leave her blades on the ground and how does she not ward hop but hop to her daggers. Any way Katarina is counterplayish depending on any silence, CC, or marking her daggers an aiming target since she has to pick up the daggers. I still hate you Katarina and Jinx.
Pros: Your still Katarina, you can be tanky, and Your still Katarina
Cons: Countered pretty well if team is coordinated
Katarina, the OCD Redhead - 5 to 3/10
Shaco, the Demon Shaco
Its still Shaco... but with more AP
Pros: Your Shaco
Cons: Your Shaco
Shaco, the Raspy Voiced Clown - Shaco/Shaco
Akali, the Fist of the Shadow
Honestly Akali still feels the same but this time since of no Vision Wards (Riot Why), and the same feel of late game carry tanky burst assassin. Akali to me has a decent engage and a confirmed disengage, meaning she can go in and kill then go away to buying stuff like Deadman's Plate, Sunfire Cape, Spirit Visage, and more. Once she's done with Gunblade she's can build anything, nothing really changed about her so yeah.
Akali, the Green Ninja Woman - Rito/Rito
Rengar, the Pridestalker
We all know the answer to this one so it's pointless to talk about him
Pros: Pedophile Cat Man
Cons: What's a Con to Rengar?
Rengar, the Horny Knifecat - ADC's Butthole/ADC's Butthole
Zed, the Master of the Shadows
Zed I have played once or two and he feels pretty good, he has poke, able to run, and has the ultimate CC... DEATH. He is just a huge "Fuck you" to the enemy's 30/0/10 Jhin thanks to the meta we have of just Five Man Bot Raids, his ultimate is tricky and he can be rewarding unless if it goes stagnant for him. When i mean by stagnant I mean but nothing happening in Mid or anything at all, he can be so fun to play thanks to his "Switch" tactic like in SAO (Burn the anime to the ground) with him switching places with his Shadow Clone. Besides him able to stack AD thanks to the Enemy Jhin if the mark kills the ADC and not just you killing him while the mark is on, I mean you have to wait for the mark to explode, killing the ADC. But besides him just being so unavoidable and him having stacks on his AD, he's alright. Can't team fight and splitpushing can be weird on him, but besides that he is okay.
Pros: Elusive, able to poke, and has an ultimate with the words "Buy GA"
Cons: Can only do picking and small scattered skirmishes
Zed, the Shadow Ninja - 5/10
Ekko, the Boy Who Shattered Time
Tank Ekko is finally fucking gone, I haven't played Ekko ever but since the rework Tank Ekko is gone mostly.
Pros: Tank Ekko is mostly gone
Cons: He can get countered if misplacement like Cho'Gath Silence and Knock-Up
Ekko, a Kid - Thank You Riot/Thank You Riot
And finally the deadliest assassin ever released that we all can hate so much as it is a burden to all of us
Control Ward, the Vision Ward's Killer
Control Ward has been hated as a huge useless item (Like Ohmwrecker) and has killed something we have all loved (Especially supports). I honestly hate this fucker so much I refuse to buy it unless needed, the plants are kinda useless and it also can promote splitpushing buy offering mana and health, true vision of the enemy and wards, and also which buffs are up that I can use. Riot please give us back Vision Ward cause who the hell uses Control Ward, I have seen 3/15 people buy Control wards.
Pros: Nothing
Cons: Its not Vision Ward
Control Ward, the Useless Ward - Rito/Rito
Thank you for reading this and I hope this review on the Assassins in the Assassins Update
P.S. Lethaility is pointless and kinda redundant as it not Edgy.
