Why does riot hate ap assasins

WrathofGods··3 votes·563 views

it started with getting rid of deathfires then slowly riot just nerfed all the ap assasins to hell so the only viable assasins where ad. and now in order to "balance" riot has pretty much given every ad assasin a zed ult with this new item and now zed how two zed ults. WTF!!! are you people thinking over there. give me back my ap assasins PLZ RITO!!!!

but dfg wasn't an assassin item.

Adding on:

It was an everything item, and that made it into a balance crutch for the entirety of the AP Champ pool.

Ap assassins are better than ap carries.

Unfortunate truth, and with assassins getting a massive buff, they'll be next to unusable since they'll always be behind.

Probably because fizz exists; diana & ahri could slightly benefit from an assassin item, but fizz would abuse it the most.

Obviously they'll abuse the new item along with yasou; I'm referring to a theoretical new ability power assassin item.

i personally don't think lb is all the much of a prob, but i agree with the fizz point. but then i ask when the last time fizz received a meaningful nerf. If fizz is so much of a problem that you cannot make an ap item, that would balance the game, that he wont abuse, then the fishy needs a nerf. but making ad items that get abused clearly isn't a problem for ad assasins because look at the item they just made. they nerfed kass and akali to hell when everyone hated them maybe its time for the fishy to go down

I just feel as though lb is too safe.. and her level 2 kill pressure is freaking absurd.. Even more absurd with the addition of thunderlord's IMO
