Meanwhile he just one shot four fucking people on my team . Nice riot. Way to show ad bias when ahri is pretty garbage now that she got nerfed, lb has to wait forever to do damage eve has a cooker. Yet Every ad assassin doesn't have a delay? Like legit none of them have a serious delay except for like zed but generally he can kill with wqe w again auto

They have major differences in the kits.

Shadow Assassin has 0 hard CC. No useful dash. (its actually faster to walk as long as you have T2 boots and a cloud drake) and his only form of flanking or getting out is on a 13 second cooldown. So once he is in he is pretty much in.

Elise. Hard CC. and Id honestly say that rappel is a better ability than shadow step in every situation except flanking. So she gives up a bit of her on command burst to be able to stun someone for 2 seconds.

Ahri is a kite mage. Not a burst mage. She was a burst mage a long fucking time ago. (RIP DeathFire Grasp)

LB isnt a burst mage. she is somewhere in the middle of a kite mage and a burst mage, but doesnt fully commit to either.

You havent really put up any AP champs that have comparable kit styles.

Now a real burst mage like Viktor. He can 100-0 people faster than a kayn. and has more reliable AOE. He is ranged so he can stay at a distance while doing it. Viktor has Hard CC and that hard CC is basically a mini Orianna ult. While less reliable still works the same way.

Kassadin. Even more AOE than Kayn with his Ult and E. while having a fuck load more mobility. gives up a little bit of damage for it.

Annie. We have all seen the 2/2/2 Annie mid who while not fed can still 100-0 an entire team alone.


What have we learned. Kayn has a tradeoff of no hard CC for damage but that still doesnt mean that there aren't mages that kind of do his job better.

I just want Eve to have more utility. I think AP damage is fine, a bit underwhelming with the choices, but fine. Elise can do a good combo like that too, and if you have four squishies on your team, I would pick blue Kayn too :)

Elise cant chunk the shit out of 4 people at once. Her w at most wth like 600 ap does half hp to someone MAYBE if theyre like 4 levels behind The point is there isn't delay
