How I feel when I read that Riot is disabling the ability to buy item 3095 and item 3147 together

Technically the Electrocute change is NOT a Nerf. It's a Buff that favors people who have skill rotations every 20 seconds or so. Which..... includes most assassins.

It means Zed might lose some 35-40 damage on an execute early game, so that's something to plan for, but he has skills up often enough he can well make up for it with having more electrocute procs. After all..... GOOD zeds don't usually kill with R. They W in a shadow from a relatively short range (bush/obscured wall), double Q, and E, for a LOT of their kills. Ults are more or less priority targets with mid range HP or sustain.

You might as well start calling Electrocute what it is now; Thunderlord's Decree....... which worked fine for 3 seasons in carrying assassins.

(This is an insane buff on Talon, because now he can Electrocute far more often, and he's always got a target near him he can wall jump and Q > Youmuu's > Noxian Diplomacy to kill without his ult due to the bleed, and now half the time, Electrocute WON'T Be down)

Electrocute is being made a better laning tool now, which is great for the first blood magician Talon And the newbie neck slicer Akali But the scary ones have already moved on from Thunderlords Evelynn Rengar And onto Dark Harvest This is a massive buff for assassins, but don’t worry I hear SR looks great in grayscale

It's actually hilarious watching them get so pissed as if the current state of the game is healthy at all. Assassins as a trope should time their closing in on a target, wait on other cooldowns, but seriously you can shadow into a whole team as Zed and just clap a squishy with ignite. It's stupid.

as a player who mains an assassin.. i haven't look forward to any patch in the last 3 years as much as i do this next one. (other than the patch dynamic boost got removed)

damage creep is absurd.

i have wanted these changes for SOO LONG.

get out of this stupid "one shot meta" make assassins back into a class that took skill and timing and knowing when to go in.. not just walking up to a full hp target pressing 1-2 buttons and deleting them.. where is the fun in that.

just because we might main as assassin who happens to be good in the meta doesn't mean we ENJOY the game being in a absolute shit state.

this is the best pbe patch notes i have seen in YEARS

i mean there is a change or two in there i dont agree with specially the Maokai and Sion changes

but the VAST majority look fantatsic

Damage nerfs to assasins? Are they nerfing all the champs? Cuz right now everyone is an assasin, some have CC or range but all of them oneshot and get oneshotted.
