Holy shit this is a lot of autism at once it's post like this that just infuriate me. People are complaining because ad assassins were balanced around duskblade and now duskblade is losing a large chunk of damage while the "compensation" changes are barely giving them anything when most of them aren't that great to begin with.
Of course no one complained when duskblade didn't exist back then ad assassins had real kits with good numbers. They had multiple items they could build and function with. Now they have numbers but the delays are ridiculous, you have to build duskblade or you won't even come close to being relevant, and riot buffed supports a ton so now they went from being a nuisance to making anyone they want to protect nigh unkillable with low to 0 counterplay.
Why would you expect people to even complain about changes that haven't even happened yet that makes 0 sense. That's such a bad argument I'm amazed you even let yourself type it.
They removed armor runes for everyone and they removed magic resist runes for everyone. They also removed the pen runes which ad got way more of due to natural scaling armor. overal ad lost a ton of pen while mages barely changed on the pen side
No one gives a shit about killing tanks as an assassin or who cc's us. If we fuck up we deserve to die no matter who does it. The problem is even if you do things right you lose because you don't have the raw numbers to deal with an adc or at best a support pressing a button off CD. In no version of league is it fair for an adc to hit you for 800 damage in one attack but an assassin has to blow half of their kit + be in melee range for a similar result in addition to having cooldowns.
You realize a meta cannot shift without changes right? If all riot does is nerf their damage and call it a day why would the meta shift toward them? It didn't shift toward them when they were stronger.
