Best Assassin?
Ok so I've recently gotten interested in assassins, but I don't have any yet. What is the best assassin in your opinion and why? Also I am looking for a easy to play assassin. Thanks in advance!

Thank you! But it seems like Talon got nerfed on his E?
Akali and Rengar seem to be the most popular in my admittedly little experience.
I like Kat myself.
Zed, Kassadin, Talon, and Irelia are powerful. Yi and Twitch also work in the assassin role.
Kass, katarina, ahri, leblanc ( i like kat and leblanc) zed, talon, rengar, kha'zix (i like talon myself but most don't after his silence was removed)

Do you want the most powerful or the most fun?
Katarina right now is the best assassin, she can destroy an entire team with little to no skill involved.
The most fun and addicting is Yasuo, but this assassin(fighter) is pretty weak right now and takes a lot of practice to master.
Master Yi is another powerful and easy to use assassin.
So it all comes down to what you prefer. I would go With Yasuo though. :D
Fizz, zed, akali, rengar, and kat are the strongest, but kat is extremely vulnerable to cc, and should never be first picked.
Talon and yasuo both suffered heavy nerfs.
Alright I'll probably get either Fizz or Rengar.
This guy is probably gonna be my next main.
Fizz, Akali and Zed are probably the strongest assassins right now, with Talon bringing up the rear of top tier assassins.
LeBlanc is also decent, but since the removal of her silence, she takes a lot of practice to succeed with (outside of lane).

Talon is one of my favorites. the silence nerf is a problem but hes still very fun. If u are looking for low skill, high dmg then go for yi or kat. High skill but excellent outplay potential, zed or yasuo. Moderate skill level and versatile champs - rengar or kha(despite what many think, kha is still a good champ). talon and kassadin are fun to play but will get crushed in certain matchups. And trust me on this- easy to play assassins are fine but you will have a LOT of fun with higher skill ones. yi gets boring after 20 or so games, but zed is just fun all the time.
Fizz gets permabanned in lower elos just so you know Yasuo got nerfed to the ground but still permabanned in lower elos akali is starting to get permabanned zed is moderately banned Katarina is moderately banned
Rengar and ahri seems to be getting a lot of attention lately Shaco is a hidden gem xD Malzhar is a hidden gem too Yi is still viable Talon is still good, his laning is just a lot harder now Kha Zix is a very solid assassin
Leblanc hard to use and hard to succeed with Kassadin...I don't even think this guy is an assassin anymore
Yeah he was fine the last patch. This past nerf was uncalled for in my opinion. If you're gonna try Talon You need to make sure you know: how to manage mana (his mana costs early are high) his power spikes (3,6,11) Split pushing Use actives (hydra, ghostblade, scimitar) Don't initiate...LOOL Silence got removed so you need to combo quickly, efficiently and intelligently. Meaning if you can kill someone without R...don't use R...LOL

I've Played with assassins and out of all the assassins i've played its always been Yasuo, he's a really hard character to master and main but once you master him, he can be really OP
