Playing assassins in this season makes me want to kill myself. They feel sooo bad, under performing and they are not fun to play anymore... marksmen used to fear assassins, but now, assassins are afraid of adcarries. Tanks have too many tools. Playing AD Assassin Shaco gets me crying, i'd rather buy item 3107 and item 3109 in order to be usefull to my team. Almost every single assassin falls off lategame Zed Katarina Shaco Rengar Khazix because once the early-mid game is over, mages and marksmen get their amazing items and they are unkillable, plus supports and tanks shield everyone and you can't even move because of the CC they bring. Mages? They feel strong in every stage of the game.

Im not having fun playing assassins because they are so bad right now. I play a lot of champions and different roles and I know what im talking about from my own experience. The assassin update was a cool concept imo, but that destroyed them the most, I mean, lethality is a BIG mistake, youmuu's ghostblade was nerfed, Duskblade of Draktharr is a shadow of what it used to be and edge of night is... why would I ever buy this item?

I know you won't agree with some things I say, but holy, they feel so bad and frustrating to play atm. Mages are a better option for midlane because they can delete anyone with a combo without being exposed... but still, they won't get nerfed as much as assassins, right? I don't get it, maybe it's me who thinks like this. Needed to say this, I had to get it off my chest.

funny that you use k6

meanwhile kha is busted af and is being nerfed on pbe and going to be nerfed in next patch

Blade Runner1 votes

Kha is not the best example, but the other ones are very different. But hey, Riot is nerfing him...

Ahristocats2 votes

yes they are

as for rengar he needs meddler to realise that half of the rework needs to be reverted shaco E is being changed to physical damage, and that along with lethality buff (which is a buff to talon and zed)

katarina is fine LMFAO, can't believe she's on that list

fizz needs half of his previous nerf to be reverted lb needs a rework

Lethality sucks, buffing lethality won't change the items, Youmuu's is being nerfed, once again, Edge of Night is trash, Duskblade is being changed too, Black Cleaver nerfed with an internal cooldown. Items that give lethality are really bad, but are a must in AD assassin build, sadly. Lethality is definitely no the way to go, full AD + LW is way better. As a Kat main myself, I can tell how weak her late game is, the problem is people don't know how to play against her and that's the biggest problem. Fizz is one of the champions that I think is fine, he doesn't need a buff at all, maybe some changes to numbers to avoid this tankyish builds.

i don't think you understand what's happening

youmu is getting more movement speed and less AD, this is a situation buff, if you're talon it's a buff, if you roam it's a buff duskblade is getting CDR, more AD, and proc damage is being flat to make it better as a rush black cleaver no assassins care about it

edge of the night is being buffed but meddler didn't say how

kat is fine, it doesn't matter if you're a kat main or not, it doesn't help because mains are more biased she has 51.7% win rate +7% pick rate

Well, I think I have expressed myself in a bad way, so I apologise.

Win rate and pick rate are not the same as fun.

I have read the changes to the items, but is not enough, but definitely in the good way. Those changes will help AD assassins, of course, but a some of them need to be worked on (imagine heimer's rework, for example, some abilities interaction and functionality + number changes).

mages and marksman now does the same burst that assassins do. mages can do this from early to late. while marksman can do this starting mid game.

both mages and marksman get an easy laning phase. both are ranged so they can build only damage and stay safe.

why do we even have assassins? they burst slower than mages or marksman, have no range, risky to play, and requires more effort to do the same thing because they are mostly melee and/or rely on skill shots.

Tbh, zed and kha are not all that bad, can still do their jobs well in some situations.

Shaco and Rengar straight up aren't assassins anymore though, and I personally don't think Kata is one either, might just be because shes on the weak side though.

I just got my ass fundled, whipped and pounded and by a Talon throughout a match, and I'm feeling real salty atm.

So maybe not all assassins.

You think assassins got it bad? Try class that was never good: "Divers", MasterYi XinZhao Udyr Shyvana Diana

Vallalan1 votes

supports are the bigger problem lol.

before an assassin would dive you and its like you got your heal, flash, and maybe a built in dash to your kit. maybe the support exhausts him if its up.

now a support can build locket and redemption on top of all that and if they have a shield built into their kit good luck killing someone through all that. I feel its more egregious to ult reliant assassins.

so like Talon who is useless without his ultimate is effectively neutered vs a good support.

but i suppose the counterplay now is for the assassin to blow up that support and everyone else then blows up the adc. haven't seen people doing this yet, it works. get the shielder and then you can get the adc much easier. even with death's dance/pd/tabi they still go down pretty quick.
