So assassins are not allowed to 1-shot but marksmen are?

Shaco pre rework, on one auto did.

120% of his total AD base.

270% crit damage with 100% crit chance.

and static shiv damage on top of that.

Meaning that Shaco could, with say 300 AD (not hard to get, it's an even number) do on one auto attack

972 physical damage, plus the static shiv damage, plus the tiamat proc for another 300, plus the E damage which would have its base damage plus 100% of his bonus AD PLUS 20% more damage if he were behind someone. Plus thunderlords.

All this from an auto attack, taimat active, and 2 shiv poison toss.

Callin that slow? I could oneshot people before they could blink.

Uh, the entire point of the assassin rework was to remove a lot of champion's abilities to 1-shot so consistently. Don't tell me you've forgotten what old Leblanc and Katarina were like :0 Rengar could consistently 1-shot as well, he didn't need to be overly-fed. Talon, Fizz, and Shaco are all worthy nominees for "assassins who could reliably one-shot before the assassin rework"

Also, Draven @ Level 6 attacking a lv.6 Fizz (about 1k hp) with 33% damage resistance would need to do:

1000

• 175(.66) (ult)
• 70(.66) (e)

838.3 / 3

= 280(ish)

280 per auto in order to kill someone in 3 hits at level 6 + Ult + E. That's possible, but probably not gonna happen at level 6.

Doing just a quick search (I was curious how much a Draven does around this level) I looked up "Draven Montage" and this level 7 Draven only did 224dmg to this TF at level 7. He's only hitting for about 160's to the Cait @ 2:13 as well

The math simply isn't there for a Draven to kill someone in that time frame, unless he somehow crits those 3 hits (which he'd be RNJeesus) which I don't find likely because he usually starts DD now

Edit: @ 2:29 we find a great example of a Draven who can 3-shot...only problem is that he has a 4 level lead on Karma and a 2 Item lead (and 2 level lead) on the Caitlyn.

That's when a Draven can "delete" people

not really. their damage paterns and strengths are entirely different. Burst mages rarely have the tools to engage into an enemy backline, and while their dps is similar, again, they don't have access to the backline. To assume that an assassin is worthless without kills because 'mages do it better' is absolutely ignorant of the roles of both assassins and mages. An asssassin's job is to flank and apply backline pressure, while a mage and adc's job is to apply damage to targets that you can attack without overextending.

You can generate massive leads off of CS in almost all brackets except korean chalanger, to the point where you can be ahead multiple kills worth of gold. And if you're that far ahead on CS, you generate the ability to item spike and kill people.

You don't need to be snowballing on kills to be snowballing. I genuinely cannot count the number of game that I've won by zoning my opponent off lane by freezing lane and denying them the ability to farm into relevancy, while I continue to CS. Usually in these lanes, I end up some 60 CS, and when 17 CS is equal to a kill, that's effectively being up just less than 4 kills on the enemy laner, without even killing them once. And in these scenarios, the opponent ends up being so weak that the game becomes a 5v4.

It doesnt matter what kind of champion you're playing, assassin, bruiser, tank, mage, etc, if you have an advantage, you can just deny your opponent to generate a fuckhuge lead.
