whos your fave assasin from a design point effectivity and fairness ?

for me it would be yes her mana less harrass seems a bit toxic but follow my points pls.

what is the job of kata ? assasination and that is what she can, she has no cc just dmg where ekko has an shield a second life and heal with ult(had to pick one out srry ekko) and thats it she has a miserable healthpool a way into a fight but not a way out if she didnt get a kill or assist she will be stunned and dies.

and that is what i ment by fairness let her do her thing and she will do the stuff we all hate her for deny her 1 reset and shes dead. but she hasnt anything else to threaten you just dmg and not 1000 tricks to make your life time bad.

IMO, Khazix is the best designed and fairest assassin in the game.

As far as Kata goes, the Q spam is the main thing I hate about her... Other than that, I don't mind her that much...

I don't like Katarina as an assassin because:

She deals too much AoE damage (whereas I see that as a strenght that should not belong to that class)
She can easily snowball to a point where she can burst out entire teams before human reaction times can even allow you to think of CC-ing her.

Zed is the perfect assassin, imho. He should have worse ranged waveclear, but his assassination pattern and laning phase are next to perfect.

The worst ones are, imho, are Akali Talon . I'm soooooooo looking forward to the Assassin class update.

Build AP. Pull from bush or over wall. Knock up. Explode with ult. Ctrl+4. Repeat in 11 seconds.

If that's not an assassination, I don't know what is.

Khazix

his damage is only at its max when you do something stupid. standing alone when there is a khazix is extremely stupid (and yes i do tend to do this). He has no escapes unless his target dies, his stealth doesn't last too long, no hard cc (i think he has a slow on his w but im not 100% sure), almost all of his damage is single target, and all of his burst is single target. He also doesn't go full tank and still be relevant.

Other good options imo: Shaco , but nocturne is imo more of a diver then an assassin, and shaco can feel hyper oppressive, also backstab is pretty easy to forget about

Talon he is easy to poke out of lane he has no bullshit escape unlike most assassin Zed Leblanc and he is a badass

i think talon has one of the highest guarenteed kill potential of all them, granted he will die after cause he has no escape but he can guarantee a kill.

*dianna also can one shot *

nocturne and shaco, I see them as what assassins should be, they jump in ,own face and then have no means of escaping, after all it's their job to kill you, an ADC is more valuable then an assassin so trading your assassin for the ADC is definitely worth it

Yi sort of. He's squishy without CC and has to be successful if he wants to live.

is this topic about Slayer Class or Assassin Subclass? Cause Ekko is Skirmisher

Riven (not really an assassin but i dont like any assassins but her)

fun combos and stuff kinda balanced this season a lil tricky to master snowball her cc is powerful when you have alot of cdr

I enjoy playing kat when I have a premade, the pentas just make me drool. Diana (even though not current meta) is always fun! Im not sure if you would consider Karthus as assassin, but ya know, aoe ulti :P

Well some would say that shes more of a fighter/skirmisher Diana is my absolute favorite. She has the most unique skill shot in the game, low cooldown ult with reset potential. Also when the enemy team groups up and u land a q r e w q zhoynas it just feels like u did something badass and deliberate (not just facerolled). The thing I like about her is, though some may think she has low skill, she actually takes a lot to master and bring out her full potential. Another cool trick you can pull with her is to q a nearby enemy and ult to them so you can get close enough to there low health back line and use ult to reach that pesky Ezreal hiding back there.
