Zed, Yasuo, Talon only to diamond! Patch 5.16 = RIP and Goodbye!

Indominus Blade··4 votes·1,973 views

This is my Zed Yasuo Talon only account and I got diamond after 68 games.

After seeing patch 5.16, I am pretty much done with these champions. While the "Tank meta" did some serious damage to the viability of Assassins, I think the upcoming "Juggernaut" and HP stacking damage dealers will be much worse. I think you should take a good look at the stats from this patch and after that, buff Assassins a little bit so they can compete. I am pretty much done with this account and Assassins in general.

I am switching to HP stacking damage dealers, bruisers, whatever you want to call them. With the changes to item 3143, ADC/Marksmen are pretty much pathetic (Yasuo too), paired with the defensive masteries I can have 20% reduced damage from crits.

I don't see any good reason to pick an Assassin over Tanky damage dealers like Renekton Olaf Darius Diana Fiora Volibear, those two new HP based damage items will be huge.

Goodbye and RIP squishy AD melee Assassins, you gave me 3+- years of fun, thank you.

I'm really on the edge about what's going to occur over the next few weeks.

Either everyones going to stack HP on fighters with the new OP items or tanks are going to do alot of damage.

It doesn't seem like assassins will be relevant late game at all though.

Dunno about Yasuo, but the other two work good with hydra, gage, dmp and cleaver. However, I think Riven, Renekton and Rengar work best with the build.

Oh my god, forgot about Renekton that will be insane. Added him to the list.

You know what Repertoir said? He said Diana is an assassin. Can you testify, as an assassin player, that Diana is safer than assassins, and dishes out same damage? It's time we tone that OP champ down.

I don't understand why they call Ahri and Diana assassins. Ahri is classified as a primary MAGE. Diana is classified as a primary FIGHER. How can Diana be an Assassin? I thought Assassins were squishy, weak defence, but strong offence. Diana has natural tankyness (stats and W) and can build AP items that give HP/MR/ARMOUR, she is very tanky and deals high brust + sustained damage.

They both have too much safety for insane damage they do. But hey, not like they can build Zhonyas and be even safer, right? Riot should stop playing favorites already.

Are we supposed to feel sorry for you? You literally spammed 0 skill floor champions with overloaded kits to diamond. Bye.

because ahri takes skill lmao.

Literally all ahri does is Q in lane and spam charm whenever someone gets near and if that wasn't enough she has 3 dashes and a flash and a ms boost.

Are you for real? Zed Q is one of the easiest projectile skillshots to hit due to its high travel speed (higher than Ahri Q) and it's even easier if you WQ because you throw it from melee range basically. Also Zed only has 1 skillshot. And an ability that makes him untargetable. And a blink on a 18s cd. Zed fanboys thinking they're Faker while facerolling lmao.

Zed and Yasuo are two of the hardest to play champions in the game, a lot harder than Ahri ever is and will be. As for feeling sorry? nope, just going to switch to easier and more effective champions that can stack HP and deal godmode damage.

Literally the best joke I've heard all month. Keep it up lad, you're hilarious. Btw skillfloor=/=skillcap, would be nice if you learned how to read.

I don't care about the difference between skillfloor and skillcap. I only care how hard a champion is to play at their max potential and it is a fact that Zed Yasuo LeeSin Vayne Kalista Nidalee are the top hardest to play champions in the game. Stay mirin platinum joker.

Well, Nidalee was one of the first champions I bought when I started League, and I was competent with her at the end of my first match. Nowadays, I can jungle on her without T3 runes, and I can take on just about anyone with her. Lee, my first game was 19/2. Zed doesn't take any skill unless you're playing entirely without your R, and even then it's not much. As for Kalista and Vayne, don't make me laugh -- clicking is about as easy as champs get, and they both excel at it. Yasuo is kind of iffy -- if you're bad at the game in general, you do badly with him, but it doesn't take much to be good with him, given how much damage he does.

If you want a hard champion, try Azir, Ekko (and be good with him), Syndra, Jayce (again, do well with him), or someone like that. Just because you play a champion that has so much front-loaded damage you can burst nearly anyone down before they can think doesn't make you good; but playing a champion that takes mechanical skill to do that same damage, well, that could qualify you as being good.

Indominus Blade2 votes

Syndra/Jayce taking skill, rofl. Thanks for the laugh. Azir and Ekko take skill, but not as much as the champs I mentioned earlier.

Watched that video where they thought to have juggernauts "slow moving".

  • Garen [Q].
  • Skarner [W] and [P].

FAILED AGAIN?

IDEA: take Dead Man's Plate's Momentum into juggernaut abilities. Slow-moving picking up speed.
