Stop Nerfing every assassin

Like the title says : Every assassin in the game is getting hard nerfed, especially AP Assassins : This is based on PBE Updates

Every role has been nerfed throught LoL, but no role has been as targeted as Assassin. Mage got nerfed a bit (Ziggs for instance), Bruisers also (Shyv) but most of them were a little tap on the back (Gnar... How is he still so OP?) People usually cry because "akali so op she os me" -Adc 2015. Well... Yeah she's an assassin, that's the point Bruiser > Assassin > Squishy > Bruisher... Some assassins don't deserve these nerfs, because right now Bruiser > Squishy > Assassin < Bruiser : good job :D

Akali : W nerf was understandable, but E can't proc Q? That's dumb, it's akali in S2, nobody would take the spell, cost too much energy for no reason. R nerf is okay. You should definitely buff akali Q and R damage or change Akali's E it's useless right now. A 3 spell champion is fun right? :)

Ahri : Wow, not even going to be an assassin... ok No problem.

Diana : Ok, I get it she's a lesser Akali, and she's too close to akali so change her role i'm okay with that. I don't like it, but I get it.

Evelynn : Man I miss the old evelynn OP stun OS... Now she's useless, good :D. Buff her damage pls, make carry junglers more common.

Elise : Well... her win rate says it all

Fizz : WHAT HAVE YOU DONE RIOT? Nerf ALL Her dmg (Q's dmg divided by 2???). W doesn't proc Grievious wound? Yeah sure let adc's survive an assassin, ofc. They can't duel a Bruiser, but they can duel Assassin's that's perfectly fine. R makes a target deal more damage? Do you know how hard it is to put R on a squishy? I'll tell uyou : IMPOSSIBLE if they are a minimum good. Also, EVERYBODY BUILDS ZHONYA'S OR QSS OR EVEN BANSHEES. So... Farewell fish friend :'(

Kassadin : Well, he's been so nerfed I think a little buff is good? Well, like the stacks on ult gets reset earlier depending on the level of his ult (20s lvl 1, 16s lvl 2, 12s lvl 3). So he gets a real god late.

Katarina : More hybrid than pure AP, check out my other post : http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/gameplay-balance/TKWXuzvf-new-items-idea-this-will-be-edited Has some ideas for items (especially for Hybrid). Hybrid is getting over nerfed every time.

Kha'Zix : An example of carry jungler getting raped...

LeBlanc : No more silence, but she's balanced... DON'T NERF HER ANYMORE. Champions that become stronger with skill doesn't deserve to be nerfs for bad players, it's not fair for higher elos. Especially because most of the changes are for "LCS" or "Challenger" level, so respect that IMO.

Riven : Stop nerfing her, she's good right now, that little pbe patch doesn't change for good riven, but makes bad riven a bit better.

Syndra : No dfg... It's ok, kinda... A little buff would be cool i guess.

Talon : Buff damage, that's all, he can't out trade other AD Assassins early game except Yasuo... So yeah nobody :D

Zed : The only real OP assassin, has as many dash as LB, more damage, more burst, lower cd... Yet isn't nerfed... WHy? Well cause he needs skill to master. Who needs that? Kassa/Fizz/LB/Riven, yet they god the Irelia treatment (Better Nerf Irelia).

This is getting too far, champions are getting nerfed for no reason, and very few get buffed. i know if you buff all champions, it'll become like DotA where anybody can OS anybody... But this is getting stupid. Games last longer because nobody can snowball, snowball is getting nerfed, strong early champs aren't strong enough, mid game champs are too strong, late game aren't as strong as they should be. Make it right : Buff champs that need it, instead of making top picks useless (Elise/Evelynn), and when they get back to the spotlight (Zilean/Akali) you nerf them even though they were worthless for years. It makes no sens whatsoever.

Mages and tanks got the biggest gutting/unviability (because tanks have been buffed but most of them still stink) man, not assassins.

item 3174 item 3128 item 3165 item 3143 Ahri item 3083 Gragas item 3110 Syndra

Volibear (just an example, we can go Olaf/Mundo/Shyvana too) is literally unplayable right now since all HP items are nerfed, not to mention the anti-melee meta.

Fizz will be tweaked and will keep his DFG in the ult now though.

Zed's nerf is the most pointless thing since the Yasuo Hp per level nerf.

Yeah, Kata's rework sucks, honestly

Kha'Zix is still strong, not anything specialized at assassinating anymore, but not half as trash as his mains say he is (see: Yasuo)

Riven is getting a buff, which, if I may add, lowers her skill cap

Eve and Elise need a rework, because they aren't even played as assassins any more

You got a point on Kassadin, but remember his dominance that made him insanely broken for so long

Syndra is a mage, and a gutted one to say the least. Mana regen nerfs, mobility meta, nerfs to her kit...

All Talon needs is a way to stop channels, to make Katarina less faceroll against him

Diana doesn't do any role exceptionally, a bit like Elise and Eve, a rework is needed

Akali's laning phase is devastating to her pre-6, but she can get rolling pretty quickly if she gets one kill (not that difficult unless the enemy mid laner is premade with their bot lane, or if you are at low-ish elo). Plus she still has the mobility to trigger her mark even without her E.

Some balance mistakes were made, but heck, most bans are assassins and ADCs anyway.

Is it fair that AP assassins get all the utility and burst of their AD counterparts while being able to abuse Zhonyas Hourglass? Oops I fucked up my timing and went in at the wrong time, but DW I've got Zhonyas so my messup will instead be a god bait since theres no counterplay to that full BS active.

Is it fair that AD assassins get much more powerful autos and have sustain through lifesteal? OOPS i took poke... no problem, I instantly heal it :D, and I can get hexdrinker as well for that nice shield super early game to win lane!

Janna and Sona would like a word...

i know if you buff all champions, it'll become like DotA where anybody can OS anybody... But this is getting stupid

Pretty sure Riot is hearing the feedback that it's too easy to get bursted to death, and that's why they're removing DFG and nerfing the stronger assassins.
