Riot really screwed this one up the only thing that went up for most of them was their banrates while their winrates plummeted. Shaco with how many shaco is dead post came out is actually one of the best.
Now we get to see if riot actually does a mass assassin buff. I fully expect nothing to happen or worse they just nerf the ones that don't suck to appease the squishy players this is still riot after all.
Anonagon5 votesIt's almost as if reworked characters have a thing called a learning curve
also since everyone knows people want to play assassins right now, everyone is picking assassin counters. After the shiny newness to all the assassins wears off and people stop picking against them, they'll be better
Big Lincoln3 votesmost Shaco players are pretty good at him and his different builds. AP is also hugely buffed compared to gutted AD
Zach Sandwhich3 votesLet's not forget that everyone and their mothers grandmother is playing the new assassins, so ofc their winrates are gonna drop.
Wild Wes2 votesMost of them are good: Ekko is strong, Rengar is good as long as you can aim your Q, Kha'Zix is just OP, Talon is good, LeBlanc is super trolly and fun, Shaco is crazy OP and Akali's good. But I find Fizz and Katarina are horrible right now Fizz because in order to do maximum damage you need to go as far as you can but it's wayyyyy too far to even engage at that time. Katarina is just pretty bad. To be honest I haven't seen a single Zed but I find his ultimate change a pretty good nerf.

Zeds new ultimate change is situational, but it's not a nerf. If you are good and assassinate the enemy AD then your golden and you'll be one shooting fools, at least from my experience.
Wild Wes1 votesBut with Zed's ultimate he now has to restrict himself from doing too much damage preventing the target from being killed by his Q or E but has to do enough damage for his ultimate to kill the target.

To me that just adds in another layer of skill to the champion, which isn't inherently a bad thing.
theArtifacts1 votesKatarina is just pretty bad.
It all depends on who is playing her. I watched VoyBoy go something like 20-8 last night with her with very little effort.
theArtifacts2 votesNew reworks that people haven't had a chance to LEARN and become proficient with yet and you think the champions are the problem? LOL Take another down vote kid.
DeathBurst1 votesNumbers don't fuckin' matter... If Assassins are too weak right now (spoiler: yes, they probably are), they can get buffed. But they needed to be put in a place where you actually have some levers to tune them and some counterplay available to enemies, because otherwise, they are in an unstable state where even the tiniest of change will make them OP/UP.
Joseph Gladstone1 votesthats hilarious
Rock MD1 votesRenga and Kha'Zix are objectively better.
Kat is high skillcap now we don't include her just yet for the same reason you don't freak out when champs like Yasuo get released with 35% win rates.
LeBlanc's winrate is much lower than and that's because a majority of people are still maxing q second.
Ekko mid is doing so much better.
If at least half are doing better the rework should be considered a success because the remaining ones will get buffed up to viability very soon.
