You might as well remove Assassins from the game once this update goes live

Because they will be so useless to the point where it's literally impossible to win. Yes, I know that they're already useless, but we're talking about a whole new level of completely fucking useless here.

  1. Core items for Assassins like item 3153 item 3142 item 3031 are getting nerfed.

  2. item 3035 and it's upgrades only penetrates bonus armor now (seriously what the hell are they thinking?).

  3. The new Phantom Dancer grants 12% damage reduction and Death's Dance delays 20% damage taken over 5 seconds, which mean ADC's won't even need armor to negate an Assassin's burst damage, making Last Whisper's passive non-existant.

  4. ADCs are getting massive buffs outside of the itemization while Assassins are getting none.

So now they can't kill squishies, they can't even touch Tanks and they'll get destroyed by Bruisers even harder than before.

There's no point in playing Assassins anymore, just delete them and refund the IP/RP we've spent on them so we can move on to a different game. It's clear that Riot don't want Assassin mains to play League anymore.

Edit: Just saw that item 3074 got it's cost increased by 300 gold for no fucking reason. It's official, every core item for AD Assassins has been nerfed.

Delete assassins, delete bruisers, delete mages, delete supports, delete tanks.

It's obvious Riot wants this game to be 5 adc vs 5 adc.

Just do it already, JUST DO IT.

Ad assassins will be fine with the preseason changes, ghostblade is getting 65 ad, last whisper is only 1300 gold now, and tanks will be out of meta so assassins will shine. Mages however, are having their itemization nerfed without compensation, so I expect all mage champions to have a win rate of around 44-49%. Besides, who builds item 3153 item 3031 on assassins?

At this point it is pretty obvious Riot does not want assassins to exist at all.

TBH Assassins are unhealthy and unfun to play against by nature. So I'm not surprised that most people are biased against Assassins compared to other roles.

Removing assassins would be the greatest thing the Balance team ever did.
