Why play an assassin...
when you can just play
,
, or
and CC an entire team while simultaneously one-shotting a carry. It just doesn't make sense why these champs have so much potential. They have game changing abilities while having the damage of an assassin and being insanely tanky. Riot wanted to make the game more healthy by eliminating one shots without counterplay, but they failed at that (see Rengar) and allowed bruisers to take their place.
