so basically now against a good player assassins won't have 1/2 of the chance at snowballing early in lane due to the stopwatch. basically. a free out of jail card . and that cuts the chances of assassins doing well even lower.
what do we have against ad carries autoing us down late game? thats their condition right? if assassins snowball win condition is contested that hard. why isn't ad carries?
Packun Flower1 votesAssassins have dominated the midlane since the mage rework. A single one time use item isn't going to completely remove them from the meta. 
has always been a rush item against assassins like 
and more but getting it before 6 was not always possible unless you were fed.
While I do agree that ADC dominance still goes uncontested, its is nice for mages to have some sort of early game counter play to the dominant lane assassins.
