Riot's assassin favoritism

Assassins get everything that most other champions don't have. Half of them do not use mana, they have free escapes (Zed), Free diversionary tactics (Leblanc), free resets (Katarina), free mobility (Talon), free invulnerability (Fizz)

I'm sorry but does Riot not expect people to hate these champions when there is CLEAR favouritism towards them. Assassins are just the bane of league, they are very low skill champions who are usually played by people with a toxic mindset because they think they can carry. Its the people that play them that are utterly frustrating because of how arrogant they are for such little effort on their part.

It completely frustrates me how these champions are allowed to survive in the game when they do not bring anything positive but toxic tryhards to a team. The people who play these champions are usually very pathetic and I am sorry but I have never honored an assassin in my 3 years of playing League because they simple do not deserve it. These champs are simply overturned messes that players love to abuse, why should anyone be rewarded for that?

Picking an assassin is simply sending the message; "Hey! I'm a selfish prick" because most assassins are extremely centred on themselves and not on actually helping their team.

I also grow tired of their constant pathetic attempts to gank botlane, if a Zed or Katarina cannot kill their opponent. They will roam down to botlane. I know this "part" of the game but its an extremely dishonorable play and not something that should be encouraged. It is simply bad sportsmanship and puts me in mind of a petulant child who can't get his own way so he runs off. There needs to be more ways to punish assassins for doing this and actually keep them in lane so they don't wonder off and cause a fight with their simply cancerous and broken kits.

How is roaming "dishonorable"? I do it all the time regardless of who I'm playing. I guess supports and top landers must also be "dishonorable" because we roam as well.

I partially agree with you, but that's why they are going to do the assassin rework later this year. So don't worry too much.
