I haven't played any of the new assassins yet. One of my friends informed me that pretty much all of the Assassins (except Kha'zix) were being widely regarded by the community as way weaker and almost useless now. Opinions?

Derp

Tl;DR this is also why trump is president elect.
bRSbwUookl1 votesProbably sounded that way, probably should've put a question mark at the end of the title. What I meant for it to be was a basis for other people to share their opinion, considering I'd only heard my friends.

just got a higher skillfloor and is pretty playable, you just need to put time into her. Frankly she's probably like the highest skill cap champion now imo.
Is pretty fine, could use tweaks, like the SoM delay scaling throughout the game.
Is just OP.
Also just OP.
The rest I have no opinion on because I've neither played them nor seen them being played enough. Also maybe you should try playing them first instead of mindlessly listening to crap when it's not even a week after the update.

You should but I'll express my opinion.
The assassin class has been heavily changed and I feel Riot is actually changing what assassins are supposed to do in order to find a better balance niche than "who can kill the carry the quickest without any reaction" because that playstyle wasn't healthy or fun for anyone but the assassin players.
So this was more for everyone else than the assassin mains. So I like it because it provides more reactive counterplay (seeing my Ezreal actually be able to escape from a fed Rengar was a blessing) but assassin mains hate it because everyone has more time to react while keeping their 100-0 burst windows (course this is cause everyone except ADC mains hate ADCs and Syndra is still really freaking strong).
It's a nerf, but it's because the old role wasn't healthy to keep.
HongChongDong1 votesEkko hasn't changed, Akali is being buried more or less, Rengar is solid all around but his ult sucks s*** now if you're against anyone who knows anything about map awareness and not being alone, Fizz sucks ass for the moment, Leblanc has a decent amount of delay to her entire kit so she's actually no longer cancer to play against, kat requires more skill to play as, Kha deals less damage, Talon is actually now fun and strong, and zed simply has a bounty mechanic. EDIT- and Shaco is AP now
Big Lincoln1 votesidk im still getting instakilled by them even when im ahead of them
Roit Gums1 votesif you play leblanc, her early and mid game is insanely strong but she falls off late, other assassins are good actually except shaco and akali
XxLolzftwxX1 votesI agree, Leblanc's w has a 1 second cool down when pressing it again, that is very crucial in escapes and they took that away from her (I do think the passive barely scrapes to compensate for it, her laning is better due to this.) Rengar can't escape anymore with his ult because of the rework of invisibility, can't really touch ADC because they all have escapes, his q is a little bit slower. (At least make Rengar available to use w while CC'd) Talon is fine. Don't get me started with Shaco and Akali. Those are my opinions.
