Assassins are ruining this game to me

I can honestly say that I've thought about not playing League of Legends anymore simply because you cannot play a game without 2-3 assassins every single game. You have to ban Akali, Fizz, Zed, Talon, Diana, and all the others I'm forgetting. Otherwise you have to invest a boatload in pinks and wards. You better not roam without your tank guarding you or you're dead. They get anywhere near you and you're dead. They land 1 skill on you and you're dead. Better buy a QSS everygame or you're dead and BotRK to slow them or you're dead.

I can't play ADC or Mid anymore with randoms because unless you have absurd amounts of peel and people that actually know to protect you you die in a second or less. Not fun. Not saying assassins should go away but they just kinda ruin the game to me. There's not much options for counterplay unless you're a tank or you just have to hope your team peels for you which sadly even at Gold rank almost never happens.

Where were you all Season 4? Ive been proclaiming this same problem as well and its true. Assassins do get most of the love and favouritism from Riot (Zed, Lee sin, Akali). However the nerfed Ahri so that should solve all of our problems cause you know she was so OP (sarcasm) and broken that death fires needed to be removed apparently.

So in other words...you don't normally invest a boatload in pinks and wards.

Play a Utility mage mid that can survive an assassins burst while offering shields/cc to your team. Annie is popular right now because of her E that raises her defences + ROA making her able to survive most assassins all in. Karma is also a very strong early/mid game mage that offers a massive AOE shields for her team in teamfights (if you mantra it). Orianna and Lux are fairly long range mages that offer shields for their team as well as cc. Plenty of options to counter this assassin meta and still become fed enough to instagib anyone, just stop relying on the LCS to tell you what champions you're allowed to play.
