Why is no one talking about assassins?

The top 5 bans in the game right now are assassins, when will riot realize they are terrible for the game? dying in .6 or faster gets old. Hence them being banned every single game

The top 5 bans in high elos are Camille Leblanc Katarina Rengar Khazix Yasuo is banned more frequently the lower elo you go, Leblanc Rengar Khazix have a lower banrate the lower you go.

I consider Cam more as Diver/Skirmisher.

camille's not really an assassin, I just mentioned her because she's the top banned champion in almost every elo. The other 4 are assassins that are common bans.

They can all be built somewhat like an assassin though, as is evident from them being in blood moon.

You're bad at the game.

It's undeniable that certain assassins ( Leblanc Rengar Khazix Katarina ) are a bit overtuned right now and just generally not fun to play against, they're frequent bans in every elo and in pro play.

Id bet money, that guy mains one of them 4 champions

MissingKayoFeb 14, 20171 votes

Those 4 are the only decent assassins. And yes they're a bit overturned. But the rest are all fine. And even with those 4, it's not really that major anymore. All 4 have gotten significant nerfs. It is more that they are still strong picks, rather than overpowered picks.

If they were simply strong, they wouldn't still be pick/ban.

MissingKayoFeb 14, 20171 votes

They would be if they're still the strongest out of the pool for midlane/jungle picks, simply out of the fact not that many others are good.

It's the same case as Jhin. Jhin is balanced, but still very strong. He could use minor tuning, but it'd be more logical to buff the shittier ADCS because only a handful of ADCs are even worth considering playing right now. Not because those handful are OP, but the rest are garbage-tier.

....I hate every assassin... It's no fun when you can't even play or react. to even have a chance at laning now, you need full lethality runes and an assassin or hard carry ADC. unless your a tank. in which case, you still die early and can't buy tank items :P. What fun when almost all the game is one section of champions.

you can react a whole lot more now than before the assassin class rework

Omen46Feb 18, 20171 votes

ya i don't think so at all. unless your talking inside of battling them, an actual confrontation. Now wards are found and destroyed with item 3147 , and most of them will kill you from the otherside of a wall before you can even start up chat. :P
