This is utterly disgraceful. Riot confuses me.

The current assassin system doesn't work. This leads to frustrated players who would rather play bruiser because they can actually assassinate their targets ( assuming they could reach them ). Penetration isn't a problem, but recent changes have worried me to make this thread. Will you be silent, or will you actually show a little care for this problem? This strikes me wrong and i am not masters now, but i will be after playing a champion who might actually get any love from Riot. Normal bruisers are too strong at everything and therefore useless when it matters ( salute to all the ap champs out there ). Penetration gets nerfed again and again and again and reasonably so, but that's not actually capable of fixing the assassin problems. they haven't felt terrible, but there's no adjustments to supports to compensate for the overwhelming nerfs to assassins. Keystones in general are... Special. This strikes an assassin as much weaker because of all the power in shields and healing and I feel I can't do anything bout that anymore.

edit: Seriously. Think about it, namely because assassins altogether are in the minority of the people that would do this request that another 600 players are asking for.

I always thought there should be an item that lets you deal %bonus physical damage to shields that scales with your lethality

that'd be cool

And Ap assassins can just be left to die? why do people her talk about assassins and assassin items when they really just talking about less than half of the assassin class as a whole and the specific items they build?

Because it's nigh impossible to separate Ap assassin items from Ap mage items. So by expanding the Ap assassin item pool you also expand the Ap mage item pool. That said, expanding the Ap mage item pool does the same thing for the Ap assassin item pool, and so it was just changed.

You could perhaps add an item with a passive that requires a dash to activate it, but it would be important to be weary of an initiating tank trying to abuse it. item 3152 Would also still exist though, so Annie might one shot your team with it.

What if they added a "stacking rune" (think of Eyeball collection, or Legend runes) that actually increases your damage to shields with a reasonnable amount ? (Max 25% / 30%) ?

Because well, zombie ward and ghost poro actually feel both like support runes, since item 3147 exists, and you can actually buy item 2055 and getitem 3340

Edit : but once again it would probably be abused by Marksmen and they would delete tanks even faster... Ornn Nautilus

Sigh

You must be bad because all the zed, talon, katarina, kazix and so that I see in my games are are all dominating hard, usually to the point that the game is unplayable just because of the other team's assassin.
