Stopwatch and Assassins

Madö·1/23/2018, 7:09:34 AM·5 votes·530 views

I'm a platinum assassin main on NA and just feel this needs to be addressed, though it probably already has. Stopwatch has flat out ruined the game for those who love playing assassin. Seriously what is Riot thinking... If you are a rioter please explain the purpose of all this. For someone who has loved playing assassin since the start of season 3, I don't feel like even playing this game anymore and I'm about to just give it up altogether. Being able to outplay and outskill opponents just so they can click one button and negate your damage? The issue is that anyone can have it, it makes it super hard to get the kills you need as an assassin and get the game snowballing. What is the point anymore? Assassins have been completely thrown out of the meta since season 8. My winrate has literally dropped from a consistent 58 - 59% winrate since season 3 all the way down to to 53% this season specifically. Will this go away or change or is it here to stay? .. super annoyed at these season 8 changes.

It's a one time thing. I realize it can be frustrating but if everyone can take it, so can you, as an assassin.

No what needs to be addressed is WHY the stopwatch is REQUIRED to play vs an assassin.

The LCS players know that the game is STUPID snowbally and mid/late game champs cant get where they need to be without stopping the STUPID Bursty early game champs. So the stopwatch is core.

Remove this stupid "I hit lvl 6 so I get a free kill to start my snowball" and the game can MAYBE get into a healthier state.

You said the reason why we need stopwatch right now and why noone has fun in league anymore..... snowballing.

Meanwhile item 3155 saves you from dying, gives you a shield and extra life steal and all of that without the need to press any button or depend on reaction time... nice...
