But let Diana, Akali and Elise all keep their instant 100-0 mechanics.
KKKKKKKKK
Oh wait, they are "divers" meaning they can burst harder than most assassins can, but are tanky enough to withstand turrets. Right.
Jet Sett40 votesNow that you mention it, I've found myself more afraid of divers than assassins this season.
Malicious Metal4 votesThat's because Diver's are basically just tanky assassins that feel like mobile Juggernauts at times.
TheHappyReaperz22 votesYou are more afraid of Aatrox, then Kha'zix? Man, you have some strange fears.
Malicious Metal69 votesI have an irrational fear of completely unviable champions.
Melledoneus52 votesNot irrational. The people who play them are terrifying masterminds who have found a way to make that champion viable.
Fear is the correct response.
Pale Pirate13 votesThe memories of stomping my victims with the old Poppy [sg-jinx]
Terozu6 votesI can play Kat, Teemo and Lux in any role. You will fear full lethality Kat. You will know the dread of the constant threat of Lux Jg. You will cry from shrooms when fighting Teemo support. You will deal with it.
PROJECT Katarìna5 votesif youre playing lethality kat youre living in the past, crict is where its at.

Thryale1 votessince when did riot introduce anim canceling? I know that there was always a slight amount of AA animation you could cancel for most champs, but it was usually negligible stuff that didn't have an extreme impact on games, but ever since I came back from my year or so hiatus, it seems like anim canceling has become not only super common, but also incredibly broken...
Ashen Rider7 votesI believe animation cancelling started being used more after Riven's immense popularity.
hhaavviikk40 votesI like how riot tries to turn diana into a dps mage with the passive changes but she still just Q + R's in for the insta kill lol
Spank the Fox7 votesQRW + TLD proc, the autos are just there for off chance they did survive
Thunderneedle3 votesYou charge the third auto and go in
Real Sexy Yoona4 votesYep. Landed entire combo perfectly as nerfed Ahri with ignite on a Diana. Diana shields with a sliver of health Q+R+auto, I instantly die. Mind you, this is in a mid to late game situation where I was pretty fed as Ahri, and the Diana jg only had two kills. I remember this so clearly because I was baffled with the thought that I couldn't have played that situation any better.
2Charmnot2Charm15 votesDiana taught me to stop being stubborn and rush a 
vs champs with bs base damage that will instant kill me if they land 1 spell.
SEKAI14 votesYou forgot Wukong.

Though while I do hate certain divers, but I do feel delayed burst is probably the worst way to implement conditions on assassinations tbh.
Unreformed Shaco3 votesYou forgot Wukong.

At least pookong ult is delayed.
MontethePython3 votesWukong Ult Damage delayed huh? [slayer-pantheon-popcorn]
TNHA Baritone14 votesElise doesn't 100-0 anyone unless she's ahead.
Diana has no escape. That's what makes her a non-assassin. Her "instant" burst is dependent on hitting her Q.
Akali is an assassin so...
It Hertz When IP5 votesDiana's Q isn't particularly hard to hit IMO. Elise CAN 100-0 someone, but not in burst; she has to stick to her target for a bit.
TNHA Baritone11 votes100-0 in terms of the title "assassin burst" does not mean sticking to a target for a bit.
Squey3 votesall assassins burst is dependant on hitting there abilities. What kind of argument is that? Akali however cant miss her abilities and there is the biggest problem. Dianna is just akali 2.0
TNHA Baritone2 votesIf Diana misses her Q, or isn't able to reset her R, she cannot kill you (unless she is insanely fed). She is very predictable.
V The Support V14 votesThe strange duality of these boards as of late..
Post #1: "How are we supposed to deal with these hyper carries?! This is unacceptable!!"
Post #2: "Why are assassins able to insta burst squishy targets?! This is unacceptable!!"
Murl0ugh9 votesAll I'm saying is its a damn good thing that most people on these boards will never design a competitive game. My lord it wouls be such a catastrophy.
It Hertz When IP11 votesAlmost like the boards are a collection of individuals with different opinions, instead of one homogeneous organism. WEIRD, isn't it?
Fairyfleur6 votesThe strange part is that both get upvotes.
Spank the Fox4 votesThis excuse doesn't work when Boards tends to stick to a certain narrative and everything else gets downvoted to oblivion.
It is a hivemind, saying "well sally thinks differently" isn't the point.
PiVoRx13 votesHow low you need to fall, to complain about Diana.. i dont even..
Handy Sandy 11 votesakalis an actual assassin tho lol
kargish1 votesGood meme
Spank the Fox7 votesShe is though, lol?
Is Katarina also now a Diver and not an assassin?
YoungFarmer10 votesWhy is this circle jerk even getting upvoted? none of those champions are even op.
Orochi Yasuo10 votesIf assassins didn't have delayed burst, there might be a chance the game wouldn't be decided on which adc does well. I don't understand why riot is so scared of assassins doing their jobs but hold off as long as they can on nerfing ardent, cho, adc's and many other things. Fuck, give adc's a "rework" like assassins if that means destroying them too.
Penns9 votes
was higher priority, only his Q, E and ult had counterplay hehe
Hayaishi26 votesSaw a Diana delete and ADC in less than a second. Disgusting.
ChiTenshi10 votesYou call it disgusting. I call it revenge for being an ADC in this forsaken META.
Serika Zero6 votesakali has a delay. Its her auto attack ;)
rtbf2256182415 votesActually, Elise and Diana both have some sort of delay. Diana has to hit her Q and Elise normally has to hit her stun aswell.
Nyarlathοtep3 votesAnd after diana lands her q she proceeds to disintegrate you from the face of the earth. Her q r w and decree deal shit loads of dmg. And even if you survive she still has her aa to kill you.
rtbf2256182412 votesDealing a ton of damage does not equal insta-bursting. It's still delayed. Diana's Q delay is the equivalent of current Rengar. Especially if she has to hit you with her passive/jump on you twice.
Nyarlathοtep1 votesWhat? She uses q and the moment it hits you she uses ulti w and e and procs thunderlords. Most squishies cant fight her back. And i forgot to mention she deals shit tons of dmg in the split second. That is after she lands her q.
rtbf2256182412 votesShe is an assassin to squishies but almost every squishy champion has self-peel in League. Especially with the current meta that favors squishies through the shield power. Regardless, she doesn't have any damage after her intial combo, assuming her Q even hits.
Nyarlathοtep1 votesNot really. Not every squishy champ has self peel. Or rather, some have but they cant really stop a targeted dash. And the majority of them dont have the mobility to evade her q. Also this shield power is most strong on adc's since they have the lifesteal to gain back hp.
rtbf2256182412 votesThe mobility to evade her Q? Depending on distance, you can almost always evade it by predicting it, lol. Only at close range it's practically impossible. The shield power in general is off the charts. Imagine an Ardent Janna using her E, ult and locket for example. Redemption on top of it and you have 3 health bars restored.
Not to mention Diana's singular delayed burst means she's a Diver/Fighter type of a champion. That's like complaining about a juggernaut one-shotting you because Darius has 5 stacks on you and you're a squishie. No shit, Sherlock he will!
