Assassins are garbage and I cringe every time someone plays fizz on my team because I'm going to lose because fizz is garbage.

People seem to think mages and assassins are worse now, while the truth of the matter is simply that they now have to focus on actually assassinating people. Now that they can't indiscriminately kill anyone in range of them anymore, they actually need to use the brains and strategize. The previous meta was all about clutch casting and mobility, the current meta actually forces people to play their roles as intended. Kill the adc or squishy mage is the job assassins were meant to fulfill from creation, the fact that they need to actually focus on that task now upsets them greatly.

I am mostly an assasin player and im telling you right now its not the champ its the player. Honestly even freaking evelin is usefull if you can use her right. And there is no freaking way you lose your games only because of your assasin teamates, yes they could be the biggest reason but they are never the only reason. Thats all from me hope you think about it.

Or people can be free to pick whoever they want?

I'm sorry that one person can't dictate who everyone plays, as much as you'd like to. Ima play Nautilus, Vi, hell I'll even pick up Akali again if I ever wanted to.

But nobody.

Is.

Going.

To.

Make.

Me.

Having an assassin on your team has nothing to do with if your going to win or lose. Assassins play a very great role in this game (if played correctly). Assassins are the easiest characters to carry with, but also the hardest role to play in a teamfight. This doesn't mean that assassins are garbage. It just means people in your elo don't know how to play carefully and wait for the correct moment to strike. If you go into the fight too early, you die before you get to assassinate your target. If you wait too long, your team will lose the fight. But, if you go in at the correct moment (and from the correct position), you might end up with a double or triple kill easily.

Who died and made you king? Why would that Fizz player need to listen to you? People are free to play whoever they want. If you dislike some champions, that's fine, you're entitled to your opinion, but DON'T impose your beliefs on others. Just a word of advice, it's not the champion that's bad it's the player that's bad.

Furthermore, assassins are high risk/high reward type of champions. Meaning either they do well or either they don't do so well. It's difficult to be doing "decent" since normally you'll fall in one of the extremes more than another. Don't let your thoughts poison you on specific champions because you've seen someone loose many times.

fizz's win rate is just above 50% this week. with him on your team, you have about just as much chance of winning as you do losing (actually, you have just a bit more, but it's really close to 50%).

Mages are about heavy zone control during teamfights.

Assassins are about singlehandedly picking off people and killing half the enemy team by yourself.

Can you guess which is going to be more popular in solo queue?

Well not all mages are about zone control, but ye you got a pretty good point xD. Althou assassins are more popular its easyer to carry with a mage to be honest xD.
