How you should play assassins, when they should take kills and why they are toxic.
**How to play them - ** kill one of the enemy team high constant dps champs (mage/adc (preferably adc )) BEFORE our adc is dead.
Why? - killing the fed kogmaw will dramatically reduce their dmg output while our dmg output (adc) is still intact.
scenario 1 - The assassin watches a 4v5 then go in to 1 shot the low on health kog, but its too late for our adc he is too low and the enemy team just finishes him. Now its 4v4 but the assassin is in the middle of the enemy team on cd, now it's a 3v4.
scenario 2 - The assassin goes on kog before he can one shot him, putting kog really low and by that guarantying his team the kill. The enemy team needs to deal with the assassin standing beside kog aa-ing him, so they divert focus to him meanwhile our team finishing kog and the adc is safe, now its a 4v4 our assassin for theirs adc, our dmg output now is much more greater.
When the assassin should take the kills?
You want scenario 2 to be possible, if not it's a 4v5, directing gold to him will increase his burst solving the problem.
_When he should't - _
The moment he achieves scenario 2, than depending on the team-comp and what we trying to achive (maybe a bigger split-push treat stronger fron-line vs a full ad comp, what ever strategy which lead us to victory).
_Why they are unhealthy - _
If they aren't snowballing the game early to an end - they just stuck in the diving and dying without the kills (as I think they should (scenario 2)). In low elo people can't snowball properly and assassins from one of the most impactful and strong early role getting the most boring and unsatisfying job ever, it's sure tilting the players and it sure tilting the teammates when the assassin just playing for the kills while the team is losing, like in scenario 1.
