Assassins are just as cancer to face as ever when they're considered even decent.

Assassin rework accomplished nothing but making assassins stronger and more of a pain to face.

######Strange how only the reworked AD champs/classes tend to lack trade-offs these days...

u mean like how mage update made them crop up in every lane and dominate

it's almost like these class updates just fuck the game up in the name of whatever new vision riot smoked up the week before

Riot tends to release strong, then nerf to appropriate... or into the ground like Aatrox.

You've clearly never tried to code if you think even half of the shit that shows up in those updates can be cooked up in a week.

Lol I never said the mage update didn't fuck anything.

Every update has.

The assassin is by far the worst so far, though.

Literally the assassin rework was a total failure and trashed every assassin that didn't go in the jungle. i.e rangar kha zix. It literally accomplished nothing up until they buffed lethality and that was after a good amount of patches after the rework.

All i've seen you do is complain across every thread you've started.

I have yet to see Mages replace and stay in bot lane as replacements for marksmen. I am aware of the Ziggs thing but didn't last long.

Assassins need so much upfront burst that they are either broken beyond anything or worthless.

I call them a design failure. When assassins are "just" strong they are unfair to play against thanks to their burst, if they are weak it's not fair for the assassin player.

The only reason they need that much burst is because damage is too high for everyone including their targets. So if assassins don't kill someone in half a second, their targets will just burst kill them instead.

If overall damage was reduced everywhere, assassin burst could be lowered without gutting the assassin.
