Assassins that "aren't assassins"

Cabruh··3 votes·540 views

The champs that apparently "fit" into their role, but really are better at assassinating than most assassins in their own class, now even more so since most assassins have gotten burst delays in their kits.

Vayne Fck this cnt. Just putting it out there. She can one shot you with 3 autos. Thats probably faster than most other assassins, given she only needs to click you 3 TIMES. Moreover, her unparalled mobility, stealth, make it a nightmare for anyone to even try to kill her. I'm not complaining about balance, just stating the facts based on how I went 27/3 in my first game with her. Just nerf her already.

Lux She may not have mobility, but jesus. So goddamn annoying. All she has to do is land 1 q over the wall, e, and ult. She deletes you by unloading her sh*t all over you in a combo performed in less than a second. And from a safe distance, no less. No need for a nerf, but god is this such cancer to deal with when facing a good lux.

Ahri No problem with her, just seems to have more mobility than your average mage, and a good ahri really can delete you in a second.

Diana Just one of the champs I cant seem to figure out why she isnt listed as assassin. Bursty, dashing on people, a slight sustain ability, it screams assassin.

Anyone else you can think of, comment below.

Diana isn't listed as an assassin because she has no reliable escapes. Her ultimate is pretty much made best use of in eliminating the target instead of using the refresh to escape. Also, she's deceptively tanky, especially with her shield and refreshed shield. She's considered a Diver by Riot, and might or might not be in the upcoming Diver update.

Diana's entire kit SCREAMS Diver. Her Shield is made to give her durability in fights for going in, her E is made to cluster enemies together. She is made to engage. She is Like Xin but AP.

Tbh, im surprised people even confuse her for an assassin to begin with.

Weird, I went into this post thinking it'd just be a laundry list of literally every ADC in the game. Oh the disappointment...

Diana's not an Assassin, she's a diver. Same with Nocturne.

The point is saying that her passive silver bolts proc needs to be applied only once to kill you. Basically one ability to kill you. Need to explain more?

Silverbolts isn't even what kills you and people who don't know the breakdown of damage have been crying about silverbolts since forever. Unless you are a heavily armor/hp stacking tank, silverbolts is a minuscule damage on your overall hp because it's % based on max health. She has a bunch of steroids right now that give bonus AD and the prevailing build is to chunk people with Q and a crit.

So 1. It was a tongue in cheek joke about 3 autos not being a '1 shot'. At least Jhin actually can 1 shot people with an auto occasionally. and 2. Silverbolts isn't OP or most of her damage against most targets.
