I Feel Like Riot Broke the Assassins
Zed- Getting ad from the highest ad target?? What if he needs to kill a fed sona? and the ad is nowhere what he used to get from his w. I feel like he should revert the changes and lower the w % dmg to 2% and rework his e or r to have more aoe because there is no extra counterplay from the rework provided to the enemy team.
Leblanc- I just played an lb game, went 28/5, but i still felt like i couldnt one shot or kill someone reliably if they were caught out. I love the reworked ultimate, it's so useful, but I feel like lb can't kill someone in a small amount of time reliably. For example, I was like 21/5 and i found this akali alone in the bot lane. I go down put down my e and w'ed away when she tried to re-engage on me, then i q and w to leave her at 140 health. (This took like 4 seconds, while the old lb would have killed her in 1-2 seconds.) I ignite her, and then she gunblades me and 1 shots me with her combo.
Rengar- I feel like the biggest problem with his rework is the dmg from his ultimate + ie. I feel like thats a bit ridiculous. However, the counterplay is okish, i guess because we finally managed to peel him off, but the dmg in the early-mid game is ridiculous with ie.
Talon- I feel like Talon's damage needs to be increased because his q dmg doesnt really prove useful, especially with the crit since it's very hard to even reach them in the first place if the team can actually peel.
Akali- From what I observed from my lb game, I saw that Akali has a tad too much damage in the early, a tad too little dmg in the mid, and a good amount of dmg in the late game. However, for the counterplay aspect, I saw people, instead of trying to peel the adc, they just go after the akali and shut her down with the adc. It's like they are hunting the assassin themselves so I suggest that we should remove early game dmg to make it more decent, and buff her late game dmg so she's actually a threat.
Shaco- cmon I played a lot more ap shaco than ad, but ad shaco was actually something viable because he could splitpush if needed to death. In terms of counterplay, it's either he's just poking at u, or he's going to just one shot ur adc or apc anyway bc of gunblade and the combo.
Katarina- the rework is great, counterplay is avaliable, however, make like a .5 sec delay, so if kat wants to e, she has to wait .5 seconds b4 e'ing onto a dagger, so people can run away from the radius.
Fizz- I haven't seen him yet, but tank fizz seems a bit too strong, and i haven't seen ap fizz yet. I'll try that.
Kha zix- He's still the same.
Ekko- he's still the same, like kha zix, he has very good early game dmg and good snowball potential, and plenty of counterplay.
