Wait. Wasn't the Assassin rework intended to allow counterplay?

  • cause all I ever see now'days is assassins deleting other champs in sub 1-2 second engagements.

The mechanics of instant kills & stealth are among the most frustrating things in the game to face. I was happier to see those things as more of a rarish gimmick than being mandatory picks every match.

Literally impossible unless they are at 30 kills at 10 minutes and they are killing you with 1 spell.

Well, except Rengar or Kha' Zix anyway.

  • Talon W has a delay and his passive bleed takes 2 seconds to deal its damage.
  • Leblanc's Passive takes 1.5 seconds to prime.
  • Katarina daggers take 1 second to fall.

Just pick a tank or have someone on your team to cc them , riot is doing the same thing with the tank meta the only way you can beat the tanks are with teamwork and I feel like the same thing is coming for the assassins. but other wise you just have to shut them down by grouping . Heres a theory i use very often when I coach btw here if you want it http://www.lol-coaching.com/coach.php?id=75451 . Imagine zed is a bully in high school and you a scrawny white nerd that reads books all day ok, first term you have no friends so he just beats the shit out of you and takes your lunch money. but when term 2 comes around and you have a shit load of friends ( teammates) he cant pick a 1v1 fight with you so you successfully counter played him and he cant bully you any more . sorry for my shit grammar but hopefully I gave you a idea on what to think . kk see u !
