Noobs Be like "Aww man Mages suk, why i have to play zed to win?"
Yet I can think of like 7 completely OP mages that counter assassins off the top of my head, and need to be nerfed soon. Zed Criers are jokes

Xerath and Vel'koz don't counter assassins as its easy to dodge their stuns. And your saying they need to be nerfed when they are meant to counter mobility creep?

actualy they are not easy to dodge. if a kat jumps on either of them she is CCed immediately and with vel koz its riporino katrina

and Annie counters assasins so hard with her instant cc its gross
Long range(Lux, Xerath, Velkoz, etc) counters short range champions ( Annie, Tf, Lissandra.) Short range counters Mobility (Zed, Ahri, Talon, Rengar, Khazix, Leblanc(Her early game damage is kinda broken so this may not be the case), Pantheon.)
Decent Zeds and Kats will have said mage dead or nearly dead anyway.
And Xerath Stun is so short in melee range that you can avoid his full combo
A smart player would wait for them to use their cc then jump if they can't dodge. Vel'koz's knock up is insanely easy to dodge if you are waiting for it and thats his only hard cc, he has no escapes. Xerath stun is very easy to dodge up close.
They do their job to counter Zed and hence they need to be nerfed? Main Zed Detected.
Besides Zed can always go bot and grab an easy double kill, the mages will have a much tough time roaming
I play Viktor a lot and I wouldn't say that he counters assassins very easily. He still suffers from the same problems other immobile mages face. At least he's got gravity field.
