As someone who like to 100-0 people, i've made a list of viable assasins.

I made this list because i really like to build full AD/AP on every champion, and i find interesting how some non assassin's champions can be good at assassinate.

**God Tier - Can 100-0 with little advantage, one kill can start the snowball. **

JarvanIV Probably the best assassin, can one shot one or more people while giving hard cc

Fizz Stills depends on ult early on, but has insane mobility and invulnerability

LeeSin insane mobility and more tankier than he should be even when full AD, can kill squishies and escape with ease

Talon God of roam, sustain in lane and the best lvl 2 trader, can fall of late game because he is squishy as is should be

MonkeyKing After J4 he is the best, AD scaling and a passives that helps survive, very good in teamfights comps

Pantheon Strong roam and the easiest to play, still fall off really hard because his abilities requires close range and a large cast time.

Zed The more healthy assasin IMO, can jump the enemie team, kill his target and then jump out, still requires decision making and even when mega feed cannot kill 2 people easily, his kit is made to kill one at a once, still needs to be more squishier to be healthier

Chogath Cannot assasinate as good as others on this tier but has a tank trait, deal true damage based on his own HP, so, defense = ofense, you get much more gold eficience from a item just because of that, so he snowball can roll even harder, and only gets stronger later on.

Still good assasins - Need items/more kills/setup to 100-0 people

Vi Can take targets from a total BS ultimate, really tanky even when full AD and has a auto reset so item 3078 work like a charm, falls late game.

Riven The girl with 1000 combos can be a good deleter, requires fingers and fast decision making, still not so good on tf and really fragile, slows make her lose potential, don't fall off to hard.

Katarina Looks weird, like a close range AoE mage with mobility, can be shut on the laning phase pretty easily but still do the job later on.

Khazix God tier damage, but still relies on the target being isolated, falls off late game because the team tends to be more closer.

Rengar Need to kill all the enemy team to achieve his true form, but from this point he is just a delete machine.

Twitch Late game hypercarry that can burst an entire team from a massive range, but has a shit early and is heavy item dependant.

Quinn Roam like a boss, still needs to take one target at a time and gets destroyed in teamfights, squishie as is supossed to be.

Ahri Take a lot of mana, a lot of gold advantage and a lot of the enemy misplay to make Ahri assasinate someone, but when the breaking point is reached can be really annoiyng to shut her down.

Gragas Need to be very well played, but in the right people hands assasinate while outplaying, a thing of beauty, still needs gold advantage tho.

Amumu Vulnerable early on but is a good CC machine, can nuke an entire team with the right setup.

Malphite Needs two items to reach assasinate point, but stills depends on his high cd ult.

Malzahar Easy to play and depends on close range to kill, his ult cc himself but the targer is mostly dead, has a passive that punish all in champs, gets pretty useless against item 3140

Lux Can assassinate within long ranges from a little to no advantage, really viable, still skillshot reliant and very, very squishy.

Jayce Versatile in builds and gameplay, has well round ranges and base stats, has no way to go back after going in and can fall late if with lethality build

Sion Need massive setup to work, and can be outplayed quite easily, deals massive damage and CC tho

TwistedFate Can be deadly in AA range, needs at least two items, really vulnerable and useless early on

Nautilus Can be very annoying, strong early and can snowball from there, slow rotations and high cds caps his potential. Get outclassed by Amumu

Syndra Skillshot reliant and mechanical intensive, some people on the boards cry 'muh only press R' if a syndra kill you only in R is beacuse she has a massive advantage or a really good ball setup, just avoid that.

Diana Shit early on but still is tankier than the others assasins and can outduel most of then.

Garen Can be a murder machine but with no heavy cc he still depends on enemies misplay.

Poppy Really nice kit to prevent the target from running away, with a good MS boost and a combo that fits on the stun time she only need a first item advantage to start one comboing people.

Kassadin Weak early on but reaches god tier damage and mobility when hits lvl 16

Sona Weak and mana hungry early, but can do a massive burst with the right ap scaling build (see Teemo)

Annie Need Flash or enemies misplays to grow in game, but still a good teamfighter.

Nocturne Rely on a high cd ult, but can offer little to no counterplay when ahead.

Ezreal Good at all stages, insane synergy with item 3100 and hard to kill due to his range, still skillshot reliant and his ult requires setup.

Lissandra No counterplay when ahead, just come and burst, low ap ratios and high cd ulti make her late game not so good.

Teemo Relies on items with AP scaling to deal signifcant damage(item 3146 item 3285item 3100)but can be very annoying.

Shaco Can be AP or AD, needs advantage and get it pretty easily with invades and early ganks, still a splitpush machine and the right choice to who like mind games.

Veigar Needs stacks, buts offer a whooping wall of stun, very usefull and a moster late game.

Meh assasins - Don't do the job properly/do it in a different way

Ekko To reach the poin to kill with the 3th hit is very hard, need setup, still hard to kill but more a fighter than an assassin.

Renekton Need to be ahead and fall off if don't take a early advantage, to trully assassinate people he need a on hit build (item 3074 item 3087 item 3153 item 3078) besides that, a full AD renekton takes to long to kill and fall off reeeeally hard.

Leblanc Only on the list because she is listed as a assasin, but i didn't find a way to assassinate people with her.

XinZhao Waaaay more a fighter, don't assasinate with any build a tried, on hit, criticals, full AD...

Elise Need massive advantage to 100-0, useless in teamfights, gets outclassed by ad assasins jg

Akali More a fighter than a assassin, go too deep without having something to jump out, gets outclassed by Camille IMO

Graves Nerfed to the ground, still a good jg but is more of a draintank with high damage than anything else.

MasterYi Meele ADC hypercarry.

Nidalee Straight up garbage, only brightside is the mobility, cannot clear jg properly, if don't snowball early she fall even on the midgame, and offers no utility.

Evelynn Same as Nidalee , gets outclassed by Elise

Udyr When full ad Udyr is so much squish, and stills take time to kill, even when ahead he is mana hungry and has no real gapcloser and only a auto range stun, gets ouclassed by Garen

So, give your opinion and what should i change :)

When the potentially tankiest tank in the game is also a top tier assassin, you know riot screwed up

MonkeyKing "..and a passives that helps survive" <=== wrong section, correction: Memes and Games.

RavenMagus8/1/2017, 7:25:49 PM6 votes

and of course almost all of the "god tier" assassins are AD champs

Dominick Destine8/1/2017, 10:14:33 PM5 votes

I've resisted for several years but.... I have to admit, Evelynn is in a very bad spot and could use some buffs. As you say, she is heavily outclassed right now.

She is next up for a rework so that gives me hope.

Gross Sobbing of LB mains everywhere

I also find the lack of Lissandra on this list disturbing. Literally no counterplay when she can oneshot, it's so fun.

ball setup? spam Q anywhere xd

That is probably the best and most objective description of Ahri I have ever read.

I don't think that Nautilus Assassinautilus gets 'outclassed' by Amumu. AP Naut can reasonably lane against many midlane champions (you know, in gold and plat, I heard about one D2 AP naut onetrick but that's it), something Amumu can't really do.

"Assassins" are designed to get in, kill a priority target, and get out. Many of these champions can kill a squishy but have no means of escaping once they're in.

PopcornBunni8/1/2017, 7:30:56 PM2 votes

How does Poppy fit as an assassin? I've 0-deathed squishies without needing to be crazy ahead.

Q scales with 80% bonus AD and 8% of enemy max health (TWICE) W prevents escapes and stops other people trying to dive in to the isolated target, and its passive gives her huge staying power combined with lifesteal E scales with 50% bonus AD (TWICE) and has 2 seconds of stun at max rank Passive adds a hard engage shield and adds reach to proc Dusblade while still counting as a melee attack

Poppy item 3147 item 3117 item 3812 item 3071 item 3074 item 3742

The problem of course is it severely hampers Poppy's tanking to build a pure assassin path, but I've had success with a partial lethality build that still chunks huge amounts of damage and can 100-0 if you're willing to use up all your resources.

Poppy item 3147 item 3009 item 3812 item 3742 item 3512 item 3110

In both cases runes are full Lethality reds and quints, with flat armor and magic resist.

Leblanc with double item 3145 proc E RE Q with autos mixed in can't 100-0 if they took mr blues, feelsbadman.
