Who ever came up with duskblade change...

is fucking retarded. Assassins got re-worked so you could have the reaction time to avoid the burst damage. This item pretty much makes it so any ad champion with burst erases people in less than a second. Put it on Draven he will actually one shot you if you get even the slightest lead.

assassins are supposed to rapidly deal the highest single target damage in the game, on par with bursters but generally in a lower amount of time with Mobility instead of cc, then they run out of steam, at which point their output is outdone by sustain damage fighters and ADCs.

If you're having issues with assassins might I suggest zhonyas, steraks, and GA in your builds sooner?? Not all three but they really do help against burst

unless you're playing tanks then, since I don't really play tanks, I'd really suggest that you try out some alternative builds to deal with assassins

Yeah even non meta crap, because non-meta is for the average game, so if what you consider to be meta isn't working then it's probably not the most effective tactics available (Meta)

Sometimes you gotta sacrifice that sweet damage for defense, it feels like less damage but assuming you have a main, you'll learn mechanics that will help to make up the difference.

I got killed by a kayn in .30 secs So im suppose to zhonyas in that short amount of time? This is legit how fast talon would kill someone before the rework

item 3053 item 3812 item 3046 item 3022

item 3068 item 3742 item 3026 item 3193 item 3143 item 3025 item 3157 item 3003 item 3027 item 3151 item 3116

so uhh

depending on your champion classification, and its utility, these items can help to defend against that type of thing

personally I don't care if you're an ad carry, if double dance isn't working and you need sterak's to stop a burst then get a steraks,

you're level 27, I don't expect you to understand counter building and item synergy in depth, i'm trying to help you

assassins are either going to burst you quick or they're useless, when you look at enemy team comp in draft then you can use specialized rune/mastery pages to handle whatever it is you're dealing with

if you're not fully equipped with runes, you can very much decide in your head which items you might need to be prepared to build and what build path to go for, as with tanks, assassins sometimes require itemization to deal with that isn't always your standard build

it isn't unheard of to see Ashe item 3153 item 3812 item 3046 item 3071 item 3036 item 3006 and isn't at all offensive if that's what she needs to build to do her job against an enemy team comp that is simply too tanky for her
