Sometimes, a champion is just to powerful and needs to be changed for the health of the game.

None of those champions are good right now, but ok. Assassins as a whole are garbage right now, for that matter.

Except their reworks are fantastic, but i digress. Zed has one of the highest consistent ban rates, people on PBE were moaning about rango not being able to leap QEW in half a second, and fizz players were moaning about him being nerfed when the intention was to remove frustration and needless power.

Not every nerf deserves compensation, and the ones rango, zed, and fizz received were needed for game health. Which is why i used them as examples.

Saying they deserve nerfs without compensation implies that they're OP now. They're not. There's a reason you see no assassins at all at worlds.

... Yes, they are overpowered. For how mobile they are, many simply did to much damage far to quickly. the assassin changes were spot on with lengthening the amount of time an assassin needs to kill you. And most comps in worlds are protect the ADC; assassins come into the meta when everyone is mostly squishy, not off tanks or real tanks.

This is the most mage heavy meta we've seen in the last 3 seasons and you're still complaining that assassins are OP.

You don't know what you're talking about.

Zed has a consistent ban rate because people are ignorant of how much weaker he is after the nerfs. Zed is not a pick or ban at higher elos (Master+). I'm assuming you got the highest ban rate from sites like champion.gg that get data from Plat+? Well then you should also be able to see that Zed's win rate is pretty trash, along with Fizz's and Rengar's.

The moment when this guy thinks Zed/Fizz/Rengar have been anything except complete trash any time recently.

Zed just needs a shorter leash range on his shadows so if he's too far away they disappear quicker. Fizz needs either the slow or knock-up removed from his ult. The % amplification on it can stay as long as they reduce his damage on the troll pole. Rengar needs the MR/Armor on his roar removed and given a different effect.
