@Riot When will you make assassin's good again?

I am annoyed at the fact every game the enemy team has 2 or more tanks that can out damage me, but it's the fact that I am playing an assassin which bugs me and most likely others too. Like certain assassins right now are fine while others are thrown down the drain, and another thing is why do most of the ad assassins build more bruiser like? What happened to the original assassin? I understand that there should be counterplay to a squishy if he gets targeted by an assassin, but when it takes literal ages to kill him, it feels like im playing a tanky top laner rather than an assassin. Why put assassins in the game if you intentions are just to nerf them?

Assassins are good.

Also no, tanks don't outdamage you.

I think the only chance assassins have with being allowed to be good is to have them do more AoE damage and less single-target damage.

So basically to make them less assassiny and more about pure damage output.

Don't you just love having to build several auto attack enhancers(one being a late game item) + gunblade to even have a shot at one shotting an ADC who only built a GA in defenses :^)

There's basically just a lot of damage around that assassins need more durability than you'd expect to actually make it to their targets.

And they can still kill their targets despite this, albeit slower than they desire.

who are you talking about? Talon, Ekko and Zed are fine (yes ekko is played like an assassin he is an ap assassin)
