Problem with assassins

So assassins got reworked in the pre-season and it was quite fun actually , some of them were buffed , others became unplayable ( R.i.P Shaco ) and some are impossible to balance but this is why assassins are pretty useless :

They are made to be assassins but they are not

Every assassin in league has a unique way of going in eliminating someone and bursting them down , but THEY HAVE NO WAY OF GETTING OUT , You either jump to the backline , kill their adc alone and die to the other 5 , which is not worth , or waste your flash or ulti , and here are some assassins i think that they offer no escape after an assassination

Talon : Needs a nearby wall to escape and he probably used it to go in / he needs to use his ult in order to get out , unless he used his ult to begin with and used a nearby wall if he could

Rengar : he only can flash and that is it

Ekko : He needs to R out of the situation therefore wasting alot of aoe damage in a teamfight

Kha'Zix : if you do not have your E evolved , or your ulti evolved , you will have a bad time getting out of there because no reset on his E and his ult lasts less when not evolved

Shaco : No form of escape if you use your Ult or Q to engage

Etc.

the only assassin's i feel like they are assassin's are fizz and LB , LB has her W get in there burst someone down and use it again to hop out of there , and basically she does not need to flash to get out of there

Fizz : has his E and can Dash with his Q through a target

and an picking an assassin is not worth , since you can pick a fighter and still do tons of damage and survive the entire fight , they feel useless and even if assassin's got over fed , and got 3 lethality items which gives 54 armor shred , can be easily countered as an adc or someone who is ad by a simple Ninja tabi which gives 30ARMOR and a bonsu 10% dmg reduction , buy a ga late game , still get tons of ad and 40 armor that is 70 against 54 armor shred and even with full lethality runes , they would get around 75 lethality max . and basically they shred nothing at all and even a full item assassin for example . a talon with 3 lethality items a boot a cleaver and an LDR/MORTAL REMINDER can't do shit because assassins fall of soooo hard at late game , plus the peel of a strong support is helpful , so basically its high risk NO reward

and rengar alone is impossible to balance cuz he is made to one shot someone , but getting one shotted is not fun at all , and they keep nerfing him to the point where he is unplayable and does not do a single one shot all game at all , or buff him so hard that he becomes first pick first ban every game which sucks for him .

I don't know, I personally think killing the ADC makes your death worth.

Ninja boots won't counter an assassin, it only reduces auto damage by 10%, not ability damage. The armor is negligible with lethality and black cleaver. The only good reason talon gets bc is to lower the armor the enemy team when he enters a fight, or to lower a fighter/bruiser/tank that he is fighting.

Talon: He can ult and/or get to a wall and hop over, bonus speed with ghost blade and kill movement speed from black cleaver.

Ekko: He can ult, you don't want to use it for damage unless you have zhonya and your W up. Sidenote: His W passive is a mini execute so you can kill without using ult damage.

Kha'zix: You don't want to teamfight with him because his passive, but he has his jump and ult, you will always have at least 2 of them evolved by midgame.

Rengar: His emp. W removes cc (The nerf sucked) using empowered abilities fives bonus ms + ghost blade and cleaver kill ms.

Fizz: Including him because he uses his full combo to burst. Uses zhonya to wait for cooldowns.

Shaco: Never played him before/ no experience.

stop trolling, assassins can get out easily and it just shows lack of brains.... DON'T OS champions when not near a wall with talon.... position yourself properly and thats all there is to it.... the sheer damage from the 100% secure hit from your ult does the rest....

guess what! other champs actually have skillshots and can miss^^ some champions have no dash or jump or flash at ALL! and even better ^^ not all champs can OS .o.

the true problem with assassins is, that they don't have skillshots XD
