Upcoming Assassin Rework - some thoughts

Mãge·Oct 9, 2016·1 votes·364 views

While it's great that it seems like Assassins are going to be given a direction other than repeatedly killing opponents and split pushing, it's my hope that Riot doesn't make them more than the slightest bit team-oriented. One of the major appeals of playing an assassin is having that autonomy to skillfully dominate your opponents alone. I love the experience of slipping in and out of teamfights, skirting the perils of battle in search of that tiny window of opportunity. I also love being able to delete squishies when they make the mistake of staying in one place for too long - if you're predictable enough for an assassin to sneak up on you in advance, you should be deleted.

What do you guys think? Do you hope Riot implements more team-oriented assassins? Do you think assassins should retain their "solo carry" properties?

if someone is team oriented they aren't an assasin

Riot has already made it clear that the teamfight assassins (Akali/Kat ect.) will be kept as such and the others will retain their "solo carry" properties. They just won't be completely almost unstoppable when ahead or almost completely useless when behind anymore.
