What are we to expect in the Assassin update?

LatetotheRace··3 votes·619 views

What's exactly going to happen with this new update? I don't know what to expect tbh, but I know what I'd like to see.

Re-Emphasis of high RISK high reward is something I'd personally like to see. Being squishy only goes so far if you're only targetable for 5.-1.4 seconds before you zip away.

If anyone knows what Riot's intending to do by all means let me know. If you have your own expectations or desires, I'd also like to see those.

Ekko needs a medium to major rework to be a primary assassin, tbh.

When I last read up on the topic, there was mention that assassin burst will be changed to be dealt over a couple of seconds rather than a fraction of a second.

I'm curious if they've locked down which champs are getting the bigger updates and who's getting smaller ones.

Who would you like to see receive the biggest changes?

I quite agree. Right now those two seem to build bruiser-ish which is kind of odd considering they're supposed to be assassins.

If they do update them, they'd get smaller changes cause they need the love of a full VGU.

While I think Evelynn needs a big change, I think she's a full rework champ. I don't play most of the other champs on the list and the two I might, I don't want to see getting big changes. So I guess I'd like to see Akali's E improved.

We can talk about giving assassins reasonable levels of risk once supports start getting reasonable amounts of peel and adcs get reasonable amounts of safety. But so long as champs like Lucian Vayne Caitlyn Ezreal Sivir have champs like Braum Janna Taric Nautilus Thresh dedicated to protecting them, assassins need to stay exactly as they are.

(Where's Tahm? lol) I do agree that marksmen need to lose a significant amount of mobility and self-peel, as sometimes they can kite and do whatever they please. (Lucian item 3071 item 3142) Although I think the supports mentioned above are in solid spots. Ideally they might touch a few marksmen with absurd mobility during the support rework, because the two go hand in hand.
