The new irelia is the perfect example of what an assasin should be like

Death by Glamour··1 votes·448 views

Mobility

Decent damage

Damage reduction in the kit

Minor stun

A disarm

Tgis is the kind of things assasins need to make them more healthy as apposed to a return to the 100 to 0 bullshit

Yes yes i know adcs are bollocks and op ect ect but lets save discussing them for another thread.

She's not what an assassin should be like at all lmao

Her mobility is too straightforward like that of a diver. Assassins have more open ended mobility and more reliable tools to get both in AND out of fights.

They also don't practical AoE cc. They don't have abilities for soaking damage, they instead have things like stealth, blinks, and untargettability to outright avoid damage instead. They also focus on burst rather than sustained dps and extended fights.

She's a diver.

You miss my point, i wasnt callimg irelia an assasin i said her kit is what assasins should be like rather than the 100 to 0 burst that they are all now required to have. Its far more healthier, adds more potential for outplay and its far more interesting to play as/against

I disagree, what you want is that assasins=divers. A Zed or a LB has different fight style than divers like Jarvan or Vi.

The only difference between them is that assasins can easyily get out of a fight, divers cannot.

Build a shit tonne of damage on most of the divers wu j4 vi diana ect and they have tge same assassination potential as the assasin roster

Divers have higher base stats and tools to support extended combat in lieu of getaway. Assassins kinda have to be able to 100-0 their intended targets when those same targets are able to kill them with just 2-3 autos late game. It's not like ADCs don't have teammates dedicated to keeping them alive.

She is not an assassin, and assassins require to 100-0 their target because of a retarded thing named "life-steal" allowing a certain class (that I OBVIOUSLY won't name) to heal up to 80% of their hp in 1 or 2 seconds.

Never said she was an assasin

My point is for healthier gameplay this is what assasins shpuld be like

Assasins either have to 100 to 0 or they are useless, this isnt good for the game

I agree with the OP, she is a perfect assassin. Daddy Diana is an assassin too and has less escape than irelia.

She's not an assasin...she's an AP diver.

Irelia is a fighter. When she gets in, she will deal sustained damage and because of that she will normally build tanky so she can take some punishment.

On the other hand, assassins' job is too go deep, blow up a high priority target, preferably the ADC, and their job is mostly done.

Irelia and assassins have different "jobs" to do in a game. Someone who cant dive easily and blow up a target is not an assassin.
