"Assassins are made to kill adcs..."

"...but supports are made to stop assassins"

ShadòwDec 24, 20167 votes

thing is that 90% of the things that counter Assassins are point and click things.

they wanted to make Assassins in a way that you actually feel outplayed by them when they kill you.

but when you get stopped as Assassin because you got point and click summoner 3 ed, or the ADC suddendly has 20 Shields on him that isn't quite the feeling of getting outplayed too.

Adcs are also made to kill tanks but they dont make tanks completely useless just by being around.

Yeah, support itemization is really good at the moment.

It's way too easy for supports to actually stop assassins because almost every assassin's burst window has been extended, and supports usually have such low cooldowns on their shields/heals/cc

That's a strawman.

It's just sad that assassin's with all their delayed damage now die instantly to 1k crits from ADCs which are apparently A-OK.

Assassins were also made to destroy mages.

Same works for mages with the difference that the ADC only needs Hexdrinker.

"Mages have more burst than assassins and its totally fair and balanced"

Mage mains logic

>rocks are made to counter scissors >LOL LOOK AT PAPER

This is your post in a nutshell, dude.

PennsDec 24, 20166 votes

Problem is that there is paper in literally every game unless they pick some mid laner as "support". So its impossible to ever take rock.

No I think assassins need to learn how to play strategically

IcyPepperDec 24, 20161 votes

It's entirely possible that supports and their items are overtuned, dude. That's a perfectly valid opinion.

But complaining about how their existence counters assassins is just silly.

I'm complaining about their existence BECAUSE they're overtuned hello?

IcyPepperDec 24, 20161 votes

If that was the implication, I missed it. Sorry...

Although, not for the sake of an argument but more curiosity, is Guardian Angel an issue right now? I don't see that item complained about a lot.

I agree with this, assassins unless they are just AHEAD will have great trouble killing an adc, and its because of shields i dont play assassins but i have 1v1ed assassins as support leona thanks to unbearable cc,shield and exhaust.redemption, ninja tabi, targon support item with a sunfire cape,colossus for mastery

I shouldnt be able to fight and kill the enemy talon who insta bursts everyone except me, the dude was like 15/4/3 and i 1v1ed him AS LEONA

You want to know why they say that assassins fuck them? Because a good assassin knows when they go in and get out with all the benefits and none of the downsides.

MissingKayoDec 24, 20161 votes

And an intelligent carry knows how to stay with their team and just laugh at any miserable attempts the assassin makes.

Z StatisticDec 24, 20161 votes

Wait, so you mean the enemy team is forced to be clumped together and can't branch off to respond to pressure? It's a good thing assassins can't roam and splitpush effectively
