Who would you say are the best 4 assassins to play for mid lane and top lane? I love assassins and want to work on getting better with them. They are always my favorite style of character in a game and I've decided through better and worse I want to just play them. So in no order best 4 for mid lane and best 4 for top lane. Skill level doesn't matter I plan on working hard on mastering them.

Anonagon1 votesI'm going to just let you know, there aren't any particularly good top lane assassins. Except Quinn, though "assassin" is a rough fit for her, and that's the closest word you can use to describe her. You could say Yasuo, but he just got nerfed and isn't really being played like an assassin right now. So if you want to main assassins, you should probably go mid/jungle and not mid/top.
Also important to note is that by the end of this year, Riot is going to release one of their "roster updates" for the assassin class. This means that some of the most worthwhile assassins to learn (
) are going to get farily significant kit changes, and most other assassins are going to get some minor changes.
In mid lane, you are probably going to want to look at and 
. Ahri is one of the best all-round mid laners in the game right now, and is fairly useful even when behind. Zed is the traditional "muh skillcap" "outplayed" champion, and while he isn't super strong right now, Riot loves him, so you can always count on him being eventually buffed again, and you can be fairly confident that he won't recieve massive changes.
In the jungle, look at 
and 
. Its a versatile set of champions and all of them are fairly strong right now.
A final thing I want to say is that assassins, probably more than any other class, reward you for committing really hard on one specific champion. I have a friend who is a diehard Rengar main, and the difference between his Rengar and his other champions is insane.

Thanks for the advice. Jungle probably is the smarter choice, but im not very good at it. Maybe its worth picking up because some notable worth while assassins are only viable there.
Iam also aware of rhe roster change and probably will try to avoid learning the champios that have been marked for major changes that i dont already know how to play.
