Why I really think the assassins rework failed and why DB comfirms it.

So the whole point of the assassin rework was to remove the instant burst and give some delay which only 2 of the big reworks really worked, Talon and Kat, but I dont think that it was because there burst was delayed, but because it was made conditional. Kat having to pick up her daggers and talon having to hit three of his abilites. Of course there are delays in both kits, delay in kats dagger drop and bleed for talons passive, however in the end of the day the conditional aspect of them make them fairer to play against and allows them to be rewarding to play and increase their skill cap not the delay. They are not the best example thou because they have inherent delays, however if we look at someone like Kha he has no delay in damage yet for some reason wasn't reworked as much as as the others because while his burst is instant, it is conditional making it fairer to play against as well as still rewarding. I can say I especially have fun playing kha, and I hope the other team feels it is fairer, but I generally don't see ppl complaining much about Kha

Now if we look at intense examples of which Riot tried very hard to add a delay we see champions like LB, Shaco, Fizz, and Akali. LB I dont really think I have to talk about we all know. Fizz's snowball is fking ridiculous, almost immediately when he gets his ult you pretty much die almost everytime, he actually is pretty strong early before he gets it too. But at some point in the game if you dont have your ult you can't really kill ppl because of his burst being mostly in his w. Shaco had to be played tank for a large part of his rework. Akali I kinda think she is ok but she still has a toxic kit and isnt any better to play against. Delay doesnt stop assassins from being toxic it instead, either makes it so the burst has to be so powerful early game that they can actually deal large dmg that is toxic to play against pretty much LB and fizz, Or falls off so hard later to the point where you are useless or have to go tanky to survive long enough to actually burst again fizz, LB, and shaco too.

Now why DB proves it. When DB was released and even now the dmg is instant, till the point where for some champions their literally isnt even enough time to react. If you play any assassin, or wu you will see what im talking about their is little reaction. The dmg is applied instant, so I honestly ask what was the point of adding delays, if later you are going to have to add an item that instantly applies dmg anyway? Riot literally reworked assassin to have a delay only to add an item that later makes their dmg instant again. This is even worse now because anyone can use it, even garen. Their was no point in reworking assassins if you are going to later have to realize that they can't have delay in burst because it doesnt work in such a fast paced game. Now DB added a huge balance issue in the game, it generally is still to much even after the nerfs.

I am not saying revert all assassin changes, but dont make it delayed, make it conditional. I actually feel like I need to do something to burst when I play Kat, but then I play fizz and realize what did the rework really change other then giving ppl a little more time to realize they are fucked. I play rengar and realize why rework him he pretty much still oneshots, but his ult now is just so bad now. Why not make assassins have to earn their burst through conditional burst making it dodgeable or preventable adding counterplay while still having burst. But whats done is done, I just want riot to think about what they do with future assassin.
