Should an Assassin have this much power?

Originally posted in the Streams and Videos corner but it has turned into a gameplay debate over whether or not this is balanced. The argument is that "any assassin this far ahead would have the same result." I disagree that I am that far ahead and I also disagree that any other assassin would have the same result. Now this is a perfect scenario for a play like this to happen, and they definitely all line up for it, but I still think it is a bit over the top.

Thanks for all the comments. And I've turned into a Kayn mid main and forgot how to actually play league because this is so easy.

For everyone commenting that i was fed. I was the Kayn in this video. I was pretty fed, but not too far ahead. Our team was behind by a lot. I have posted pics to give you the layout of the game when the play happened. As well as the post game scoreboard.

Their K6 is 16-5 and there is no way a K6 could do this to your team. The point is that other Assassins are mostly single target. With the exception of maybe Zed, but even his Q does reduced damage to multiple targets. I've been one shot by many champions when they are ahead. But the entire team shouldn't disappear. Even Kat has to get a good ult channel off and some resets to pull this off.

Baron reduces the resistances of people killing him. What happened here was you doing true damage to all of them.

And well Kayn simply has a lot of AoE + Duskblade.

Totally fine IMO.

They stacked up and got punished. They could spread out and see you get one kill then explote. Would be the same thing if you had 4 people group up vs. someone like Orianna, Annie and let them apply their AoE.

Stack up together vs AoE champs and you all get oneshot. What do people expect?

Well played and nice quad

Yes, considering if he had gotten cc'd for even half a second he would've blown up on the spot. Plenty of mages could've done that with range AND cc. Also, the ones who died instantly had like no resists, a locket active could've easily countered.

I'm more interested in learning how there's a 16-5 kha'zix that evolved R early..

tbh I'm not surprised by your damage. Sona is frail, trist is frail, kha doesn't have a cleaver so he's frail, hecarim's build is praying to be one shot, and galio is probably the least drunk but he took baron hits (which reduces his resistance and shadow kayn does mixed, so worst of both worlds for him, apply that to everybody else too) and then everybody funnels into a clean W+Q.

I've seen similar results from talon, except again, kayn is mixed so it worked out significantly better.

Exactly what I was trying to say!!! WQ One Shots! AoE!

Very well. I'll take everyone saying that it is fair. If riot doesn't change it I will keep abusing it. I think the real issue with blue Kayn is the Ignite+R+Auto combo that one shots carries if ahead even a little. Impossible to miss, too fast to counter, and nobody else has an R+Auto combo that will kill you. (Ignite is just to proc your ult so you don't have to land a skill).
