Assassins are getting a lot of direct and indirect buffs: Ignite buffed ( at lvl 3 it deals more damage than a lvl 2 ability ) ˝Compensated for Duskblade nerf˝even tho some of them didn't need it Mages had their mana management reduced ---> their wave clear as well Shutdown gold reduced,if they get ahead and you kills them you get less rewarded Ninja tabi nerfed Can now kill junglers at scuttle Hail of Blades

What else will happen RITO stated their looking into increases solo carry potential
ADCs bout to be nerfed --> total AR pen buff --> new items ( Spear of Shojin , Stormrazor , Starek's change ) Next healing and shielding will get nerfed

Please note that some of those changes are pretty and good and needed,but it seems like once they pile up , assassins are just gonna one-shot anything that's not a tank with over 300 armor and 3.5 k HP ://

Isn't like anyone else worried?

it is the cycle of life my friend.

Tanks are too strong. Buff ad carries to compensate.

Ad carries are too strong now Buff assassins to compensate.

Assassins are too strong now Buff tanks to compensate.

Tanks are strong again...we need more ad carry buffs. ohshit we buffed them too much quick quick buff some assassins AND tanks to prevent the assassin meta

Awe shit we literally made everything overpowered....uhhhhh.....think of something!!!! OH ITS THE END OF THE SEASON SOON quick quick lets rework the runes or something to literally change everything and start fresh....

Ahhh season 9. Fresh Season. Lets go. it's only been 9 seasons maybe we'll get it right this time...

-10 patches later-

Sigh... We need another mega rework...Shall we rework the map itself!? 4 lanes you said?! Yes let's go with that what could possible go wrong.

I don't think anyone minds Assassins being strong. From my perspective I encounter A LOT of Assassin mains, so no one will be worried who I get matched with or against.

Guess I will have fun looking at a greyscreen after the items on PBE go live in a couple of patches since my champion (Varus) is going be irrelevant like the rest of the Marksman. I guess it's time to get into playing Assassin's regardless if I like the role or not.

Not to mention Marksman get the most hate for doing literally anything while Assassin's get all the love in the world from the League community.

If it's going to be even worse than I hoped then I might just quit League. Buying Resistances on a marksman feels useless and it only delays the innevatable. Supports will just die with you because all supports are going to be nerfed by these upcoming changes.

Supports with Shields and Heals (because of an item that is in production to be used to counter both)

Supports that are tanky (Because of the changes to the Last Whisper being total armor penetration not bonus armor anymore)

Anyone prepared for the Assassin meta again?

The burst meta never left?? Damage has been too high for a while now. Where have you been?

Some players favored wet noodle tank fights, some players hated it. Some players hated being "cucked" of a kill by a 800 point shield, some players liked the protection.

But it seems most players would rather have the equal opportunity to kill and be killed than face the discrepancy of inability to deny a kill.

the vast majority of assassins will still take electrocute over hail of blades. the only champion i can think of that will benefit greatly from it is xin

That feels when its been a burst damage meta since November but assassins aren't meta.

WTF.

We have been in a burst meta for a very long time now.

People that think we are/were in a tank meta are delusional.
