Upcoming Assassin Update and Game Health

The previous class update, the Mage update, was an absolute joke in terms of game health. Malzahar, Vlad, and Swain were basically buffed while their game health concerns of being oppressive were untouched. This update was such a joke in this regard, that Riot made the rare step of admitting the mistake recently.

> "We also think we should have done less mages in retrospect but pushed the ones we did push further. Malzahar could have used even more work on the game health side..."

If the Mage reworks were such a laughing stock in this regard, why should we have any faith the Assassin rework will be any better. Looking at Riot's track record on class updates on outdated, oppressive, unfair champions; we'll get an Assassin meta and every Assassin will be buffed.

If you think Rengar is unpleasant now, wait for the Assassin update.

When it came out swain and vlad where trash like 36% winrate then both got a small buff and took off

I seriously fear the assassin update. One of those champs are going to end up broken as hell.

I'm sure a few of them will be OP as hell but I feel like Riot's main goal with this update is game health rather than making the assassin mains happy. Take a look at Rengar the whole reason they are reworking him is because he is unhealthy not because he isn't fun. I also feel like Talon will be alright because they mentioned removing his unintentional multi-kills. That's not to say these champs won't be broken but I think they will be more healthy
