As a support main atm I'm curious if the new Assasins will dominate the rift with their rework or will it just be adding a new spin to their concepts? Will we start to see new things like talon jungle with his new "Assasins path". Are the new Assasins straight up broken or have they made them easier to play agaisnt? Curious about people thoughts on this.
+What does lb passive and talons ult count as camouflage or stealth?
Radiant Seraph1 votesTalon is surely OP, but only mid lane. Jungle is OK though.
Mr Beckons1 votesI feel like now that the camps have more monsters in them. Junglers with AOE abilities have a easier time. Expecially with the removal of smite buffs. Then again I wouldn't know, I don't jungle often
Masked Lunatic1 votesThe new assassins are only really strong if the right strategy is employed with them (the exception is Talon as he's almost always viable to snap your neck).
Rengar is seemingly weak if he gets pushed back early / the person doesnt use ferocity abilities properly. Kat is rather strong but manageable. lb is annoying if she attempts to kite or bait you. Out of the smaller updates: Kha is stronger than what he was but un-evolved he is generally weaker + evolutions are now all viable. Fizz is stronger than before but his close combat cheese with his ult is less and is actually rewarded by being in combat for longer (focusing a single target). Shaco's new clone gives him a load more power if he goes ap jungle + it's a straight up deterrent when the clone is nearby (if it pops if he's ap you're in for a bad time). Ad shaco isnt all that affected though. -the new assassin items are a bit overloaded...
To answer a question: both lb's passive and talon's ult is invisibility not camouflage (usually the case with short duration stealth skills).
The new assassins are not broken it's more that people don't know the assassins' limits (usually really high damage but squishy) and how to react to them yet (or what to really expect from them) but that's my opinion on the matter - you'll find many who disagree with me.
YJRBqwXJcS1 votesthe only assassins you need to worry about are kha and talon
everyone else is irrelevant or dont have the ability to assassinate anymore.
