@meddler why buff assasins?

Dude..... your player base is all going 18 in ferocity because they have no clue how stats work.

Lets take a look at zes for example

http://champion.gg/champion/Zed

Take a look at the mastery section and look at the play and win percentage differential for people running 18 in ferocity vs 18 in cunning. Cunning is at a whopping 59% which is grounds for nerfable so cunning didnt need a thunderlords buff and considering that it has 1/20 of the playrate that 18 in ferocity has YOUR PLAYERBASE IS BAD NOT THE CHAMPION AND I MIGHT REMIND THE READERS THIS IS PLAT+ PLAYERS ONLY

I would rather you guys did what morello did in s2 and just tell the community they are dumb than you play out your social experiment trying the community to shift over to thunderlords and then proceed to nerf assasins by the early midseason

So please tell me when you have ACCESS TO BETTER DATA are you attempting to buff a perfectly viable class of champions

Good question. We're not seeing that same outcome from our own analysis. The win rate you link there's got an extremely small sample size (190 games), which means it's not a reliable number. There'll also be significant correlation between better Zed players and those that take the appropriate masteries. That means that, rather than just comparing different masteries, you're comparing average players with ok masteries to experienced players with better masteries.

Overall we're confident that the current masteries don't serve some classes well enough, with AD assassins being one of the most in need cases, given they've also lost power from the AD itemization changes in the preseason.

But assassins are fun to play. And the most popular champions are assassins too (Zed, Leblanc, fizz), so they get a lot of money from that.

A perfectly viable class of champions wouldn't dominate the bottom of the win rate chart.

If you wanna talk about data you should do the math on how much weaker their itemization is now.
