I'm talking about Yasuo Tryndamere Aatrox MasterYi etc.

Right now you have two options with them, get ahead and be able to shred anyone late game and destroy with ease, or get really behind and do nothing but feed until you lose. They are usually incredibly frustrating to face and i'd like something to be done about that (YasuoYasuoYasuoYasuoYasuoYasuoYasuoYasuo)

That's because Diana is not an assassin.

I personally disagree, but went to look at riot's classification for her in the client and she's listed as a fighter. I can see where they get this however when I play Diana, I play her like an assassin.

The champions he listed aren't even assassins?

Marshbouy1 votes

The only real assassiny one is yasuo... even then it's a pretty long stretch to call him an assassin.

Hyperiön1 votes

He is a fighter :p

Maybe the assassin update will give them small buffs like the way velkoz got number changes in Mage update

Marshbouy2 votes

not buffs, making it less frustrating to play against/play as + more diversity in the role.

During the assassin update, they'll only change Assassins. Melee carries aren't assassins, so they're not getting an kit changes. Maybe Riot will make an assassin item that melee carries can abus-I mean use.

As long as Fiora isn't touched... I think it would be cool.

I'm surprised olaf isn't included; though I'm also relieved someone from riot hasn't tried to suggest mordekaiser again.

Marshbouy1 votes

he's more bruiser

Aatrox is part of the diver update

Marshbouy1 votes

ok cool

Tobias Brackner1 votes

Aatrox is the only one on that list who is complete shit.

Marshbouy1 votes

just becuase they aren't shit doesn't mean they shouldn't be updated. It's about game health and variation

Tobias Brackner1 votes

I'm sorry what?

Wait what?

100+ champions across 5 different roles isn't variation?

And that's not getting into item builds like wtf? How about we save champion updates for people who were nicknamed shit like The Movable Ward and Poopy.

Marshbouy2 votes

updated=/=reworked reworked=/=poppy/sion/taric level rework.

I'm talking about variation in the sense of "why pick X when X Y Z all do the same thing but Y has the best numbers ATM?" that's what the class updates are for.

Tobias Brackner1 votes

Yeah when you say "variation" that pretty strongly translates to "rework"

Also tbh a lot of people really overblow the whole "best numbers" thing without looking at the utility and power niche that certain champions fill as well as unique plays and strengths that they have.

Marshbouy1 votes

so much of what ive said has gone over your head and into the exosphere.

variation does not strongly translate to rework.

deep inhale i will try to do this calmly. Lux, xerath, malz, and viktor all did about the same thing. fairly high waveclear one movement CC ability. maybe a slow

RIOT realized they were too similar and changed them. Now Malz has his voidlings to play with, xerath has a better ult, lux has her shield, and viktor has a higher damage ult and a lot more waveclear.

This is an example of variation being introduced to a class of champions.

An example of bad game health would be vlad getting the update so he is no longer reliant on WOTA and less E spam.

Tobias Brackner1 votes

No it didn't and my point remains the same.

People overblow the "best numbers" thing without looking at the utility and niche that each of the characters provide.

RIOT realized that some of those guys were really boring/toxic to play and decided to give them fun things.

http://na.leagueoflegends.com/en/news/game-updates/gameplay/dev-blog-remaking-xerath

They literally said this for Xerath with the only thing about "he's the same as other mages" is his reliance on ult. They same the shit with Viktor and same shit for Malzahar.

You should really read what Riot says about their updates before you trying to speak for them.

nope it's not even worth talking to you.

goodbye.

I hope you stay more up to date with what Riot actually says are the reasons behind their champion updates in the future!

Yasuo is a fighter, not a carry Aatrox is not a carry Tryn is not a carry

Ill consider yi a carry only due to his lack of CC, need for hard farm. And strong lategame carry potential

Azir is a mage, but also considered a marksman.

I think the meaning of meelee carry went over your head. It's not about someone who literally carries the team it's about a meelee who is designed to do nothing but deal a ton, and i mean a ton, of damage.

A carry is someone who is supposed to carry, a marksman is someone who is supposed to carry a game, while also having range

Marshbouy1 votes

Any champion aside from tanks and supports are designed to carry a game. That's a terrible line of logic.

No actually theyre not.

Though gangplank might not be perfect he is probably the best example of what a melee carry should be

Fiora isnt really a good example as she is too basic attackfocused meaning she needs all this bullshit to make her viable like using q in the general direction (roughly sona aura radius) to proc vitals no real aiming needed An everyting counter dumbass %true damage

I don't think we should go there with melee carries anymore

the gangplank direction is just better

Marshbouy1 votes

pretty much. i felt like bringing up meelee carries again since people are complaining about yasuo again.

Sona x Rubick1 votes

what you forgot is that yasuo doesn't need anything (except maybe getting a ressource).
