Assassin Update- What I Expect From the Lesser Changes

Meep Man··2 votes·364 views

Shaco Shaco Q- Deceive They mentioned changes to Stealth, so I assume that will affect this W- Jack-in-the-Box Now applies spell effects Base Damage reduced AP Ratio reduced Now has a bonus AD Ratio Makes the skill more useful to AD Shaco damage-wise and modernizes it by making it apply spell effects at the cost of some base damage.

Khazix Kha'Zix Passive- Unseen Threat Reworked to be the current Evolve passive on his ultimate. Likely triggered from killing a set number of large monsters and champion kills. Reworked how Kha'Zix evolves as well Q- Taste Their Fear Standard changes to Isolation whenever Kha'Zix is touched R- Void Assault Now has the current Passive as a passive attached to the ultimate Affected by changes to Stealth

Akali Akali Passive Likely completely reworked for a better passive, similar to Fiddlesticks in Mage update W Affected by changes to Stealth

Fizz Fizz The largest of the lesser reworks Passive Likely completely reworked for a better passive like Akali W Likely changed heavily since it is the main "enabler" of Tank Fizz and Bruiser Fizz E- Playful/Trickster Changes to base damage, cool down, mana cost, and possibly to it's slow

As a Shaco/Khazix main I disagree that they need changes and will be very upset if they get them. Riot hasn't said they are changing them and have even acknowledged Shaco as a prime example of a "balanced assassin".

At the same time I remember hearing that they wanted to change Shaco's boxes a bit since they are the "weakest feeling" part of his kit other than some first clear gimmicks and in-combat fears.

I think if Shaco's W had a slightly better design that kept it's current uses, Shaco would be the perfect Assassin. Oh, and also some improvements to controlling his ult of course.

Shaco won't be touched that much YAAAAAY, but they will hopefully bring his mechanics up to date, mostly his boxes receiving some buffs in the sense of applying spell effects and whatnot and his clone not being countered by the goddamn HUD of the game (seriously, the target ping should not stay and the clone should display items, even if it comes at the cost of having to add an in-game way to differentiate both).

I don't agree on the Kha changes, they said he won't receive anything major except for evolution changes (mainly making WR evolution more interesting). Also Fizz's W is gonna get completely replaced if I remember correctly, his current passive is pretty lame sure but his W really has the main issues.
