I can already see it happening...

was already starting to become prominent especially in higher elo I have seen a ton of Trist this pre-season Still one of the most popular adc's is starting to show back up in higher elo with good win rates Put aside for quite a while is starting to make a strong comeback as well

These are all rather slippery adc's that I see coming back into meta slowly, and I think it will continue to move that direction due to the potency of the assassins. However, the burst window has been lengthened by a few of the champs.

Thoughts? Share with me http://leaguetales.com/ [slayer-jinx-catface]

Ez doesn't even need his E item 3025 alone makes him unkillable wit how lethality works.

That still depends on how pertinent Assassins become. And since we haven't had ADC's in the meta, I'm not sure in exactly what situations or teamcomps they work best in.

One thing that people may not have realized, with the lethality being affected by opponents level, it will be slightly stronger on higher level targets. That includes the solo lanes, as the ADC and Support share XP. So if you have a lot of Lethality stacked up, you would be just as effective at killing the higher level solo laner. especially if that person is another glass cannon.

Most ADCs will, by lategame, just kill one of these new assassins before they can be killed themselves. ADC damage only got higher, while assassin burst is now delayed - ADCs will just pop 'em first late game.

Personally, I think people will just figure out that they can put the new assassin items on the likes of Hecarim, Vi, Wukong, or other fighters, and they can all play like old assassins, killing ADCs much quicker and with more reliability.

This isn't even counting Knight's Vow, which I'm convinced is broken as heck, especially if the ADC is stacking it with PD and/or Death's Dance.
