are you tired of waiting 1.5-2 seconds to kill an enemy squishy meanwhile being in the middle of the team fight? do you get tilted if you see on the enemy team? do you miss assassinating your target in less than 0.5 sec? did you die and faild to kill the enemy squishy because of the 1.5 delay?

If you do hear me out I have a solution for you all!!!

**play mages! **

ever wonderd why most of the mages are above 50%+ win rate (meanwhile assassins struggle at 44%-49%)? because they can assassinate a squishy under 0.5 meanwhile being on a safe range LEL.

U will be assassinating again + no 1 wil qq on the forums about it!!

so my fellow assassins start to play the new ~~mages~~ cough.... assassins right NOW!!

I cant tell if your trying to whine or not...... Cause this looks like one of those kind of posts where in ever comment about a mage your going to be saying "yeah thats a ~~mage~~ new assassin" trying to whine about assassins not being able to obliterate when the enemy team actually defends someone. Which assassins have been unable to do unless they were fed/late game anyways.

Even when fed now the assassins can wipe out a squishy when the team trys to help the squishy.

Mages just don't have the same backline access that assassins do, unless they're Xerath, in which case they're subject to the same overpowered support items assassins are.

Look at mid lanes ordered by pickrate. Once you get past the top 3 champs, Orianna who is legitimately a little too strong right now, Lux who has an inflated pickrate on this patch (more accurate sites also show her WR going down, I'm only using champ.gg over op.gg because it lets me sort for roles) and Ahri who's probably too strong as well you see that popular champs, regardless of if they're mages or assassins have below average winrates.

A large amount of the low assassin winrate can be explained by 'assassins are popular and popular champions seem to have lower than average win rates'. That's not to say there are no weak assassins. Talon seems fairly below curve right now, I'm fairly sure Riot's aware of this considering they said they were likely to buff Lethality on Reddit recently. Akali is pretty much garbage, Riot's made it pretty clear that they don't give a fuck though.
