Just suspicious I find.
You know when poke mages are heads and toes above assassins at the moment.
Let's nerf them more because they're clearly the reason you can't climb ranks.
Catastrop2 votesBecause Mid and Bot are generally where you find assassins, and it's apparently hard for these two lanes to coordinate with their jungler to shut down whatever assassin might be giving them trouble.
Sir Yamazuki1 votesNot really true.
Namamall1 votesI get the feeling that making this post had nothing to do with trying to find the answer to that question...
SwapShadows1 votesNo they are usually just made by bronze/silver players who think they know everything about the game.
Sad but true, it's why the balance section is meh.
Cindikle1 votesAs someone who prefers mages.
I have zero problems with facing and dealing with assassins as long as I have ways to counter them properly without it requiring hourglass.
Assassins are meant to be high risk and high reward.
These QQ threads you're finding form mages and adc's are players who fail to know how to stay safe from them. The high risk part is as tied to your enemies skill as your own. A bad squishy can turn a balanced high risk high reward assassin into a mid/low risk and make them look OP.
Although it's not rare to see most rolls complain about them because this holds true for all rolls. You just happen to see mostly mage/ADC's posting apparently.
Also mages are not necessarily stronger. They fit the meta better. But there's not much actually stopping assassin mid lane from returning. J4, Vi and Lee haven't exactly been nerfed. And Cinderhulk has been toned down as well as the champions it's proven very strong on.
Erockandroll1 votesIsn't it Obvious? They're Glass Cannons. They complain if anyone is able to so much as sneeze on them.
A lot of these Glass cannon mains, (particularly the ADC mains) Don't take responsibility for their positioning that leave them in the open and waiting to get picked off. And their Squishy build, is justified by their ability to use Positioning to it's maximum Advantage. Thanks to their Range.
I target ADC's mostly Because their ability to build Life Steal makes them over confident. And consider anything that nullifies this advantage, (large amounts of CC, Thornmain, or death) to be problematic, and think they should be nerf. they also think that Stacking Full damage with Life Steal, means they can duel anyone. Which is obviously not the case.
Assassin Obviously have good ability to completely destroy ADC's, because they are also Glass cannon, but with higher Burst and better ability to commit to their targets. Personally I prefer Hard engage Bruisers. Because Glass cannons don't prioritize defensive stats, They are about as Easy to kill as they were when you had first gotten your Tri Force and your BotRK. Prioritizing defensive items, Just means you take less damage commit to the enemy ADC and will be able to continue the fight.
ImNotOriginal71 votesI don't know,supports tend to hate them as well.
I'd guess that bruisers and tanks don't mind them as much because they aren't their primary target.
