AP assassins are trash and need to be able to "assassinate"

You know, assassin = killing carries, not being 2 shot by the everything

"Hello I'm an assassin but I need to stay in range of a marksman for 3 seconds in order to kill him, and he can explode be in less than a second with 2 aa"

"Hello I'm an assassin but since every single adc has a CC nowadays and thanks to , I'm getting assassinated by marksmen "

"Hello I'm an AP diver (class not even recognized by Riot, proof that they only care about AD champions) but once again, marksmen having so much defensive options, I get deleted before I can even reach them"

"Hello I'm an AP assassin but people complain that I do too much damage and I'm allowed to kill marksmen, so I'll probably get nerfed to the ground soon"

"Hello I'm an AP burst mage, but since mages aren't allowed to deal damage and are supposed to be supports 2.0, I'm getting nerfed even more"

I’d disagree with only Kat.

She’s been sitting at crisp 52% win rate for awhile while gaining popularity every patch. (OP.GG)

Wouldn’t be surprised if her played rate starts to make a dramatic climb anytime soon.

She’s actually the only AP assassin right now that can easily assassinate any squishy targets given if you obviously don’t pick her into CC heavy comps that’ll easy dismantle her.

Also her ban rate has also been steadily going up every patch.

4/5 of those champions are doing pretty well at the moment.

tbh too much of lb's power is in her chains, zoe can do damage, just not to where theres little to no counterplay. akali's ever broken or trash, there doesn't seem much middle ground for her in game.

Hello im leblanc and my chains take a few seconds to go off and by that time the support already stunned me and healed the adc

AP Diver........................ Kassadin .......Oh wait! Games usually in 25 mins, so I don't have time to scale.....

I am afraid you are mistaking things. May be you meant to comment on zeal and yasuo? Or may be dirk and zed? The Kassadin I play doesn't scale with catalyst, he merely survives with it. But, I might have wasted 500k mastery points on him in another account, so what do I know?!

i play kassadin, i know his strenght, he doesn't need much to be relevant like any other mid laner and then just scales like a mad man into lategame
