New player's most asked questio: Kai'sa is a Assasin or Adc???

RayhaNPrincE·Sep 24, 2019·6 votes·6,197 views

Once post 20 min team fights start, kaisa's job is to stay behind and W, stay behind and again W, let your team face burst into enemy team...once enemy carry is tagged with plasma and peeling to stay alive just YOLO ulti to that carry and auto once then E while Q-ing and then another auto. Plasma burst done and enemy is dead. So is kaisa a assasin? We do stay aware of pesky assasin and keep them in check from killing our carry and get out. So kaisa is doing the same and once carry is dead the fight is won. Seriously...should we just ignore other enemies and wait for kaisa to jump in and shove all our cc on her ass? Its disgusting that she can just double auto and Q to kill a target. Tell me any other adc who can do that.

Ezreal is another adc with great, longrange poke and also great burst potential. Same with Caitlyn and Tristana

Ezreal E forwards a fixed distance and gets intsalocked often. He cant go in backline and one shot enemy adc. Neither Trist nor Caitlyn can go and run around while killing backlines. They always gets targetted. Kaisa doesn't.

trist is actually really good at assassinating backlines too (she used to be playable as an AP assassin with a very similar kit to what she has now)

SaezioSep 24, 20193 votes

no. Straight up. No comparison between kaisa and trist. Kai'sa straight up dashes to your backline (BTW is her R unstoppable or something?) and assassinates your carry from 100% hp.

ADC tristana if he W in she dies. Also her W is easily countered by CC. And she was playable as AP assassin in the MIDLANE in trash elo. Kai'sa assassinates people in pro play and challenger.

BaldBritneySep 24, 20192 votes

her r is a dash and its stoppable

SaezioSep 25, 20191 votes

So, you can CC her mid dash and Deny her R? Never seen it happen

SpankyhamsSep 25, 20191 votes

Not all CC Its like Trist W knockups and knockdowns will stop the dash but not get rid of shield.

SaezioSep 25, 20191 votes

LoL my bad. Just watched a video on it. Some CC abilities don't even stop it. And most need to be used before she presses R because of how fast the R moves. Ridiculous still.

SaezioSep 25, 20191 votes

My bad, just watched a video. You can indeed stop it. As long as you predict before she even presses R and you know her exact target. xD

Have you honestly seen any champion consistently deny her dash?

BaldBritneySep 28, 20191 votes

no but imo the best would be veigar if its a dumb kai'sa

GripaAviaraSep 24, 20191 votes

You can go burst Ezreal and play him like an assasin. It's not the best build on him, but it works. item 3078 item 3087 item 3285 item 3152 item 3031 Evelynn Qiyana Diana and others, all have, more or less the same mobility as Ezreal

SaezioSep 24, 20192 votes

Yeah but kai'sa is a burst assassin that also shreds tanks and has invisibility and a huge shield that scales with both AD and AP (absurd ratios btw even for an ult) and can itemise into item 3157 item 3102 (only adc who can do this, except varus and we all know varus has been nerfed to shit)

Also, even with that build that you suggested, (which has a 3400 a 3700 and a 3200 item btw) Ezreal can't access the enemy ADC and assassinate them

SaezioSep 24, 20192 votes

ezreal is the definition of an adc that needs to FTB what you talking about?

GripaAviaraSep 24, 20193 votes

I've seen threads like this often here, but the real answer is: I DOESN'T MATTER Each champion is different and most can be used on different roles. Can Kai'sa be an assasin? Sure. Can she be an ADC? Sure. Can she be an APC? Sure. Can she be a diver? Not the best build on her, but sure.

KanzlerSep 24, 20192 votes

I would love to see the raw data from the survey which supports your title.

Otherwise, I'm not quite sure what your point is? You're complaining about an "assassin" that doesnt spike at 1 item?

SaezioSep 24, 20192 votes

Kai'sa is busted that's what OP is saying. Have you not noticed how she is pick ban in every game? Any tank jungler has been hammered by the nerf bat for far less than the presence kai kai has in pro.

Exodus247Sep 24, 20192 votes

Id say any role, since she can be built with literally any item and do good, with how overloaded she actually is.

Charmy BirdSep 24, 20192 votes

She's a mistake

Gear5LuffySep 24, 20192 votes

make her Q a skill shot like heimer W

Logicalily Sep 25, 20192 votes

According to TFT she is an assassin/void/ranger

G0blinSlay3rSep 24, 20191 votes

She is a hybrid.

BrokenRayquazaSep 24, 20191 votes

Yes

Jesi OniSep 24, 20191 votes

Teemo Teemo Teemo

Is like Kaisa. What is his lane? What is his role?

SaezioSep 24, 20192 votes

With the slight difference kai'sa can destroy people in challenger and pro play while poor teemo can't do shit past plat.

GripaAviaraSep 24, 20193 votes

Kai'sa does that due to her busted passive and the fact invis+adc SHOULD NOT be a thing ever Twitch was busted for a long time Vayne was busted for a long time

Kai'sa is overloaded and pretty good stats atm so it's normal she is super strong. The advantage invis does to ADCs is nuts, because it allows you to reposition and escape burst, the two most dreaded ADC problems

xelakerSep 24, 20192 votes

Clearly assassin

preternaturalSep 24, 20191 votes

yeah she's both. I mean, champions by classic classifications can have up to 5 descriptors.

Tin ObliteratesSep 24, 20191 votes

For some reason, I thought the title said 'Kalista' instead of 'Kai'sa' and I was left confused.

RagnaveilSep 24, 20191 votes

Both.

Jerry SeinfeIdSep 24, 20191 votes

she's an assassin marksman hybrid. twitch and trist technically are too, tho twitch's assassin build isn't great and trist turned into the safest adc because of it.

The thigh guySep 24, 20191 votes

I mean. If Pyke can be a support/assassin and every bruiser can be a tank/assassin I don’t see any reason kai’sa shouldn’t be allowed to be a adc/assassin.

Yets4240Sep 24, 20191 votes

Name one single champion that fits both roles of tank and assassin other than Ekko with a longer duration AoE hard CC than any tank ult, that also shields him.

Any current bruiser ever.

They all instant kill. They are all tankier than actual tanks.

SpankyhamsSep 25, 20191 votes

She is both and she is not the only one who is. Twitch Vayne Tristana ^ All of these champs can kill another squishy carry incredibly fast and either get out(), be 300+ units away ( Twitch ), or peel for herself and turn to kill more ( Vayne ) and most of this can be done with a summoner spell or item 3140 and get out almost scot-free
