Can the trade off if being an assassins is their defensive stat?

taleofsonata··4 votes·720 views

Starting by lowering Talon MR by 9... And reduce hexdrinker shield and magic resist. Their Hp should be as close as Sona Hp pool. I mean they can literally kill a champion in 0.1sec why not make them squishier? So they die to every class in the game? but their trade off is being able to kill X champion quick?

High Risk High Reward gameplay just like how pyke can't build tanky.

They already have tradeoffs.

Their burst is all single target, and most that have AoE cant really use their AoEs to deal AoE damage in a teamfight reliably.

Most are melee, and build squishy.

Hex is already a tradeoff, giving defensive stats over offensive ones. Its also required for them to even function in lane. Mages hardstomp assassins compmetely without it.

Thats not how it works. Riot is aware that hexdrinker is OP but they are fine with it because assassins fall of in teamfights, this item allows them to get ahead after they lose a lane before teamfights.

Rather retarded excuse to keep hexdrinker OP

Lol that's basically "we make champions high risk high reward, but also allowing them to have high reward even if they fall behind" kek

Mfw hexdrinker is op because melee AD assassins need it vs ranged AP mages [sg-lux-2]

What does a melee AP assassin build vs mages? What happens what an AD assassin buys hex vs a melee AP assassin? [sg-lux-2] lel

Akali has historically been a top laner anyway. She also scales well with AD.

Kass already has anti AP in his kit.

Its not even OP. It gives minimal AD and MR, and gives a spellshield that also takes up an item slot.

Wanna know what would happen without it? They wouldnt even be able to play LoL. Mages love to complain about AD mids, but mages have a massive advantage over AD mids.... Theyre melee, and they have far less spell range.

Bulloney. Talon Zed Easily poke mages out of lane.

If theyre poking you out of lane, youre legit playing boosted.

Zed has no real poke unless he WQs, which means you have a free lane. His only engage and escape is now on a 20s CD. You have a free farm and harass lane. He just lost lane.

Talon only has W, which is easily outranged by mages. If hes "poking" you, press a button. Land a spell. Maybe dont let him walk into your face.

I just wish they couldn't ignore towers mid-late game. I've had towers do pretty much no damage to them, and that upsets me. Tanks should be able to shrug off tower shots, not the squishiest of squishiest assassins who just dove me.

i think that every champion in the game and mostly assasins need a dmg nerf.. cause every ad champ will oneshot you with full ad build and same for ap ... for ad assasins it sucks they can build bruiser items so you see a zed with 500 dmg ga and 3000 hp ... though any mage just builds void staff and rip even if you have 1000 mr ..they need to tune everything down ...thats why tanks are broken cause even if you build tank you need dmg so they overtune the dmg so you need to respect that a tank cant kill you and not for it peeling for his carrys .. i hope they realise it someday ..the thing i think is broken with assasins is that after the rework with lethality coming in and with all of them getting escapes and with every build (any role) having 40% cd + runes +runes dmg an assasin will have his abilities 2 soon even for todays standars cause lb or zed dont need ult to oneshot.. and they can do that every 8 sec with their dmg and electrocute... a first step would be to remove the early game of these dmg runes cause electrocute does crazy dmg ..second step remove cd (from like half the items ) ..then just nerf all champs play with the numbers so everyone is balanced on his role ..

so at least if you have an enemy assasin you will smash him hard and his tradeoff will be that he is useless at early game ...cause early for midlane is not only the lane but the ganks and stuff... its stupid that you are sure to die if you didnt see zed coming and he has r as adc ..and i know im low elo ...but yeah most of the players are.. games not fun if you are the one getting oneshoted
